Introduction

This guide will introduce the network requirements for ViewBoard’s preloaded software and help IT administrators set up ViewBoard products within their IT infrastructure.

NOTE:

• Please ensure the wireless infrastructure supports broadcast service and it is turned ON.
• For a more stable connection, it is recommended to have any ViewBoard® connected via LAN by Ethernet cable, and client devices on a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band.

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 connected to the same network subnet.
• Port : TCP 8080

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 the iOS device (e.g., iPhone/iPad).
3. Find a device prefixed with “Cast-xxxx”.
4. If “Cast-xxxx” is showing then this confirms that vCast 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 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. Bandwidth : At least 2~5 Mbps per user in a typical deployment. Latency should be less than 100 ms when pinging Google’s public DNS server at 8.8.8.8; for HD video streaming > 5 Mbps is required.
3. 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.

NOTE:

• It is recommended to use Wi-Fi 802.11n 5 GHz.
• Please refer to 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.
