2. Coalesce Deployment

2.1 Coalesce WAP Mode Deployment (Off-Network)

This configuration is valuable for spaces that don't have an existing network, or for areas where Coalesce users do not have access
to the existing network. This may include visitor centers, common areas, and ad hoc meeting spaces where users want to quickly
Select a Display and share media from their own devices but do not necessarily need connection to an existing network—such as
a corporate or campus network—while collaborating. Anyone who can connect to the Coalesce unit's wireless hotspot can Share.

Setup and Configure your Coalesce units
1. Pre-configure your Coalesce in WAP mode based on the setup instructions in the Network Deployment Modes section of this
guide.
2. Repeat step 1 for each of the Coalesce units that will be deployed.
3. Deploy Coalesce units to their locations. Attach the Coalesce units to the in-room displays via the provided video cable.
NOTE: Users that connect via WAP will always discover/see the display SSID they connect to, and they will be able to
click-to-connect without the use of CDS or any additional configuration required.
Don't forget to name your displays!
Display names are the easiest way for your users to identify and connect to your displays without having to type an IP address
each time. Beyond your network configuration, be sure you designate display names and the other options available in the
Configuration Panel. See Configuring a Coalesce Display in the Coalesce User Guide for full details about configuration options.
