Wi-Fi Client Mode - Vivitek NovoConnect Deployment Manual

Wi-Fi Client Mode

In this mode, the NovoConnect device functions as a client to join an existing Wi-Fi network. As
illustrated in the following diagram, to set up the Wi-Fi connection, on the NovoConnect device
homescreen, click on Wi-Fi  Connect to Wi-Fi  Configure  Wi-Fi (ON). Then select the
desired Wi-Fi SSID (the name associated with the Wi-Fi network) and enter the proper credentials
when necessary.
You may notice that you have the choice of using "DHCP" or "Static IP" in the connection dialog,
which is exactly the same as an Ethernet connection.

the following steps:
A. Follow the above configuration steps to connect to the organization's Wi-Fi network;
B. After the Wi-Fi is connected, click on "Browser" on the home screen (see the picture
below);
C. Open this web browser and you will be prompted for login credentials.
D. Enter the proper username and password, and you will be connected to the network;

interface.
