ViewBoard Network
Requirements

Introduction

These notes will introduce the network requirements for View Board®’s pre- loaded software and help IT administrators setup View Board® products in their IT infrastructure.

NOTE:

Ensure the wireless infrastructure supports broadcast service and is turned on.
To get a stable transmission, it is strongly recommended to have the View Board® connected via an Ethernet cable, and client devices on a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band.

Over-The-Air (OTA) Service

A ViewBoard® will automatically search for firmware updates whenever connected to the Internet.

Network Information

Server FQDN Name: ifp-ota.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com, www.viewsonicglobal.com
Server Port: TCP 443

Air Class

Display quiz questions on a ViewBoard® and allow up to 30 mobile users to submit answers remotely. Whether administrating single or multiple-choice questions, the ViewBoard® will record the results of each device being used.

Network Information

PC (Windows/Mac/Chromebook) and tablet/mobile (iOS/Android) devices, as well as the ViewBoard®, need to be linked to the same LAN network subnet.
Port: TCP 8080

vCastReceiver & vCastSender Service

Working with ViewBoard® Cast software, the vCastReceiver app, will allow the ViewBoard® to receive vCastSender laptop screens (Windows/Mac/Chrome) and mobile (iOS/Android) users’ screens, photos, videos, annotations, and camera(s).

Network Information

ViewBoard® Cast software, laptops, and mobile devices can connect to both the same subnet and across the subnet network.
Please enter the on-screen PIN-code to connect to the ViewBoard.

AirPlay Service

NOTE: Please ensure that mDNS is enabled on the network/access point/wireless controller (if applicable).

Network Information

Ports:
ͫ TCP 51040, 51030, 51020 & 51010
ͫ UDP 5353 (mDNS to broadcast Airplay)
ͫ UDP random port with a range of 52000~53000 (Transfer audio; assigned by AirPlay protocol)
How to verify AirPlay is broadcasting:
1. Ensure that your iOS device and the ViewBoard® are connected to the same subnet network.
2. Open the Control Center and select AirPlay Mirroring on an iOS device (e.g., iPhone/iPad).
3. You should see a device prefixed with “Cast-xxxx”.
4. If “Cast-xxxx” is showing then this confirms that the vCastReceiver is broadcasting AirPlay services.
5. Click on the broadcasted “Cast-xxxx” device to mirror your iOS device to the ViewBoard®.

Chromecast Service

ViewBoard® Cast software supports native Chromecast screen sharing via the Chrome browser casting respectively with the Chromecast feature enabled.
NOTE: Please ensure that mDNS is enabled on the network/access point/ wireless controller (if applicable).

Network Information

Ports:
ͫ TCP 8008 & 8009
ͫ UDP 5353 (mDNS to broadcast CCast)
How to verify Chromecast is broadcasting:
1. Ensure that your Chromebook and ViewBoard® are connected to the same subnet network.
2. It is recommended to use Wi-Fi: 802.11n 5GHz.
NOTE: See a 5 GHz channel guide for a table on non-DFS channels in your country. In the USA, those channels are 36-48 and 149-165.
3. Bandwidth: At least 2~5 Mbps per user in a typical deployment. Latency should be less than 100ms when pinging Google’s public DNS server at 8.8.8.8; for HD video streaming > 5 Mbps is required.
4. Access points:
ͫ For small deployments of under 30 devices, consumer-grade networking equipment is sufficient.
ͫ For deployments greater than 30 devices or involving multiple rooms, enterprise-grade, centrally managed networking equipment is recommended.

Display Service

myViewBoard Display allows users to mirror their desktop wirelessly to supported Interactive Flat Panels (IFP) and Wireless Presentation Displays (WPD).
myViewBoard Display comes pre-installed on select ViewBoard® hardware, but can also be installed manually on any IFP or WPD that runs Android 6 or higher.
Once myViewBoard Display is installed on an IFP or WPD, users will only need to use a compatible browser to start mirroring their device screen to the host.

Network Information

Ports:
ͫ TCP Port 443 (HTTPS): outbound
ͫ UDP and TCP port 3478 bidirectional to the WebRTC servers
ͫ UDP Ports 50,000 – 65,535 (RTP/sRTP/RTCP) bidirectional to the WebRTC servers (These ports are optional; if blocked, media will be proxied using TURN on port 3478.)
