HDS Gen3 Installation Manual



Note:

The HDS Gen3 internal wireless module only supports

GoFree connection to it’s own display. Other displays connected via
ethernet are not visible.



Note:

If it’s required to show all displays available for control/viewing

via one wireless connection, use the external WIFI-1 module.

Remote controllers

When a wifi device is connected, it should appear in the

Remote

controllers

list.

Selecting ‘Always allow’ will mean the device can automatically
connect without needing a password each time. This menu also
allows disconnection of devices that no longer require access.

Wireless devices

This page shows the internal wireless module and any connected
WIFI-1 devices, as well as their IP and channel number. If a WIFI-1
is connected, and the system detects the software is out of date,
an option to update will also be displayed. WIFI-1 updates, when
required, are included with the display updates.

Selecting a device will provide additional detail. ‘Network Name’
and ‘Network Key’ may be edited for security, and ‘Channel’ can
be changed where connection to unit is compromised due to
interference. ‘Mode’ can be changed on WIFI-1 device only. Restore
defaults will return unit to factory settings.
