Make sure your computer is on the same network as the display.

If your display is using a wired network connection, try connecting it to a wireless
network.
NOTE
Wired and wireless networks don’t often share the same network subnet.
Connecting the display to a wireless network might help the connection
between the display and a mobile device or computer that’s connected
wirelessly.
l
Make sure the display and mobile device are set to the correct date and time.
See am30.htm and your mobile device’s documentation.
l
On your computer, turn Wi-Fi off and then back on, or disconnect and then
reconnect the Ethernet cable.
l
Restart your computer.
NOTE
Restarting your computer can clear network address information that your
computer had cached. Restarting the computer can also reinitialize audio and
video encoders that might have stopped working properly.
