Network integration 

The software for monitoring and controlling displays over the LAN is called Barco Wall Control Manager. Barco 
Wall Control Manager software is a client/server application. 
Barco Wall Control Manager service runs on the Barco Wall Control Manager wall router (Green BCM). The Green 
BCM comes with the Barco Wall Control Manager software already installed. 
The Green BCM wall router has two network interfaces, WALL and CLIENT. 
The WALL interface is configured as DHCP server and has the fixed IP address 

172.29.1.1.

 

 

 

 

 

Benefits of DHCP server configuration with fixed IP address: 
Any device connected to the DHCP server automatically gets a (short term) IP address. 
A PC connected to the DHCP server (i.e. the network cable is plugged into one of the LAN 
switches of the video wall) can connect to and launch the Green BCM web page. This 
allows easy configuration of the devices of the video wall.  

 

 

 
The CLIENT interface comes with the fixed IP address 

192.168.10.1

 and is set for manual configuration. The net-

work configuration of the CLIENT interface allows integrating the Green BCM into the customer network thus 
allowing any PC/Laptop/workstation in the customer network to connect to the Green BCM and to run the Green 
BCM client application to monitor and control the displays. 
 
The Barco Wall Control Manager software enables communication to the WALL network via the CLIENT interface. 
 
Before integrating the Green BCM into a customer network it is recommended to configure the video wall sub-
net. This is a private subnet in the range 

172.29.x.y.

 

 
 
The drawing below shows the general network setup. The displays are in a private "wall subnet" controlled by 
the Green BCM. Via the client interface of the respective Green BCM, connection to the customer network (Busi-
ness LAN) is established. 
 

 

 

 

Make sure to use cables with shielding of type S-FTP or S-STP when connecting the display 
to the network!
