How to setup a basic proveos system What you need: A proveos unit & included power supply, DVI-VGA adaptor, etc. A projector or LCD/Plasma display VGA or DVI cable of sufficient length Stereo (powered) Speakers if in-room PA system is not available. A 3.5mm TRS cable terminating in the appropriate connection to powered speakers or local PA system Optional: RS-232 cable connected between VEOS unit and projector, or RS232 equipped LCD or Plasma display. An Ethernet cable to connect VEOS to an existing IP network or: A simple wireless router like a Lynksys WRT54G, etc. A person with network administrator rights will need to be available initially to configure VEOS for operation on the local network. Users wishing to log onto the VEOS gateway will need to be on the same IP scope as the gateway. If the local network switch or router has firewalls in place, the following ports need to be opened in order for presentation to take place: 2122, 9954, 9990, 9998, and 9999. If using the stand-alone wireless router method to create a dedicated wireless network & access point for VEOS, it is helpful to change the SSID of the router to a name that identifies the VEOS gateway like, VEOS Conf RM 1. Because VEOS units require a static IP address, it is a good practice to reserve the IP address (manually) assigned to VEOS unit so that the router s DHCP service doesn t assign the same IP address to any user joining the network. Please refer to the following Quick Start Guide for details on configuring the VEOS unit and downloading the client software from the gateway. Copyright 2009. WOW Vision Pte Ltd. All Rights Reserved.

Welcome Thank you for choosing the proveos Wireless Presentation Gateway. ProVEOS is an advanced networkbased, presentation solution that enables wireless presentation and collaborative interaction between multiple participants. At its most fundamental level, VEOS is simply a gateway between your wired or wireless computer network and a video projector or large display. It works with any local area network (LAN/ WLAN/ Intranet/ Internet) and any Windows or Mac computers connected to the network. It enables you to send the display from any laptop to the projector over the network connection instead of passing around VGA cables and configuring display settings. Enabling shared access to a projector or display is just the beginning; VEOS also provides a platform for collaborative interaction between all computers that are logged onto it. Interactive chat and white board features Play video and audio files on the big screen in HD quality Staff can easily control granting access to the projector to ensure a smooth presentation flow And much more IMPORTANT NOTE: VEOS is a network dependant product and therefore requires an understanding of networking basics and network administrator rights in order to be installed successfully. Trouble free operation of the VEOS solution depends on the proper configuration and operation of the network, wireless access points, etc. Read Me First 3

Connections The diagram below shows the typical connections between a proveos (top) and a projector (bottom), as well as power adapter, network and external speaker connections. AC adapter DVI/VGA RS 232 e SATA Switch/Router To HDMI capable device Line out to amp or powered speaker The back panel of proveos or projector may vary from the illustration above; early proveos units use a USB to RS232 cable. If you have one of these units, simply connect the USB end of the cable to an available USB port on the proveos, and the RS232 end to the projector. To set up surround sound audio connections, outputs are as follow: Read Me First 5

The screen below will load in your browser. Then simply click on the link to the installer you wish to use. Note: you must be on the same network range or scope in order to access the VEOS gateway. There are 3 client installer choices: proveos Windows Client proveos Mac Client proveos Mac Virtual Client proveos USB Dongle Client Installer program for Windows (32 bit versions of 2k, XP, Vista & Windows 7) Standard installer for Mac OS X (Intel Based Macs running 10.4 or higher) This is a client application that runs without installing any software on the local machine. Similar to Mac virtual client above, but runs as an auto executable from the included USB thumb drive found in the VEOS software case. Just follow the installation prompts from each installer.

Configure Firewall Settings By default, the proveos client installer adds a list of exceptions to Windows firewall software that enables the proveos software to connect and communicate with the proveos gateway. You may still need to manually configure your computer s firewall if you are using an additional 3 rd party firewall program such as Symantec, McAfee or Zone Alarm, etc. Note: With 3 rd party firewalls, you may need to specifically ensure that these ports are not blocked: 2122, 9954, 9990, 9998, and 9999. Refer to your 3 rd party software documentation Read Me First 10
