Configuring EDS Clients in PCS
Enabling EDS in Client Devices
Follow these steps to enable EDS for client devices. Repeat these steps for each
ShareLink Pro unit to be assigned as an EDS Client within the network, including the EDS Host.
NOTE: The ShareLink Pro device operating as the EDS Host can also operate as an EDS Client. In
this case, it is operating as a client of itself. This is possible since the EDS Host function operates
independently in firmware.
1. Open PCS v4.10.5 or greater.
2. Connect to the ShareLink Pro to be assigned as an EDS Client.
3. Navigate to General Settings > Display Setup tab.
4. Click the Enterprise Discovery Service radio button in the Confirmation Type panel.
NOTE: If an EDS Client is failing to connect to the EDS Host, change the client's confirmation
type to No Code for a minute before switching it back to Enterprise Discovery Service. If
the connection issue persists, then power cycle the EDS Client.
The hostname (displayed in the EDS Server field) is set to ExtronEDS by default.
NOTES:
• It is highly recommended that the default hostname (ExtronEDS) not be changed. By default,
ShareLink Pro units are configured to look for the ExtronEDS hostname.
• If the hostname is changed, all other ShareLink Pro units within the network will need to be
configured to look for the newly assigned hostname (see step 5).
5. Only perform this step if you chose to change the default EDS hostname: Enter the new
hostname or the IP address of the EDS Host in the EDS Server field.
6. Repeat steps 1 ‑ 5 on all other ShareLink Pro units in the network to configure them as EDS Clients.
If you changed the default EDS hostname, enter the new hostname.
