• Z-1 can be used only in Single Presenter mode. • Make sure that Z-1 has a correct time setting. Enable the NTP client to set the correct time. By connecting Z-1 from a Windows PC, the time of the Windows PC can be set to Z-1.
Page 32 Distribution mode for wireless communication • Z-1 of master mode has to be Access Point mode and Z-1 of slave mode has to be Station mode. If Z-1 of master mode is set to Station mode, video distribution may become unstable since the transmission rate of multicast packets decrease.
Page 33: Radio Waves
Communication is not possible through reinforced steel, metal, or concrete barriers. The signals used in Z-1 will pass through wood, glass, and other barriers used in a typical home, and so communication is possible even in rooms with walls made from wood or glass.
Page 34 • If any cases of signal interference occur in short-range wireless base stations for mobile identification due to this equipment, either immediately change the operating frequency band, or stop the transmission of signals, and contact Silex Technology about possible corrective actions for preventing interference (such as installation of a partition).
