Huddle Hub User Guide
Using this approach, you can reach only the rooms that belong to the HHO+ unit you are directly
connected to.
Mixed connection (
HHO+ SRE and HHO+ MRE only
)
Both the methods described above can be used at the same time, and any session may have
participants connected either ways.
Discovering the room to connect to
Automatic Discovery Service
If both HHO and your device have been properly configured, at its start HHApp will show the list of the
available rooms. This list is prepared and presented to you through a network discovery service. When
the service is enabled (and allowed by local network configurations), HHApp can automatically search
for HHO rooms on the network.
Manual Search
In some network configurations, the automatic discovery service may not be able to reach all the HHO
units and show all their available rooms. For these cases, HHApp offer a Find Rooms function, that you
can use to reach the rooms through the IP address of the HHO unit that hosts them (see next chapter
about finding the IP address of a HHO unit).
2.4 Finding the IP address of a HHO unit
There are cases when you need to know the IP address your HHO unit:
·
to download HHApp from the unit;
·
to configure HHO unit with its Web Console;
·
to attend a session using your web browser;
·
to connect to a room that cannot be reached through the discovery service.
When HHO is connected to the company LAN, its IP address is either dynamically assigned by the DHCP
server of the network or statically assigned during its configuration.
·
If the unit is connected to a TV or a monitor, and no presentation is in progress, you can read its IP
address on the welcome screen. HHO+ units may have two IP addresses: one for the wired connection
and one for their embedded Wi-Fi network adapter.
·
If other participants already entered that room, you can ask them to read the IP address they are
connected to (
⁝ > Settings > Room info
).
·
If none of the previous methods is possible, you have to contact your Network Administrator to get the
IP address of the HHO unit you want to connect to.
