4.2 Desktop App connection

IP address
An IP address is a numeric address given to a device on a network. A generation four address (IPv4) is built up using four digits between ‘0’ - ‘255’, for example ‘192.168.0.50’. This allows different network devices to find each other on the network.
About wireless connection

Wireless connection makes use of the wireless capabilities of the device to setup the connection with the Base Unit. Depending on the device, it is possible that this connection prevents the device from accessing the internet.

About PresentSense

PresentSense uses the microphone of the device to detect an ultrasonic sound coming from the Base Unit. This ultrasonic sound is used to show the meeting room name in the meeting room list of the software. The Base Unit must be configured to send out this ultrasonic sound. For more information on how to configure PresentSense for the Base Unit, see the installation manual of the Base Unit.

Note: PresentSense is not available for the Hub Core and Hub Pro.
