A: 9300 S.W. Gemini Drive Beaverton, OR 97008 USA W: www.biamp.com
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Modena Hub is a wireless presentation hub. Ideal for BYOD and BYOC
spaces, Hub allows participants to connect to meeting room AV equipment and
USB accessories wirelessly and enables any participant to wirelessly receive
AV streams during a video conferencing session.
The Hub supports most UC software and hardware devices, while enabling
the user to wirelessly share content with other meeting participants. Hub also
connects to AV peripherals via USB and HDMI, and can support multiple USB
devices via a standard USB hub or by connecting a Devio SCR-20 or SCR-25.
The information provided by this manual relates to physical connections and
device setup. For device specications see the Network Administrator's Guide.
SETUP AND USE
User devices must be running on Windows, Mac OS X, iOS or Android
operating systems with the Hub's custom drivers and user software installed.
• Coordinate with local IT administrators before adding Hub or any other
device to a corporate network.
• Hub+ should not be placed near potential WiFi obstacles (walls, metallic
surfaces, other radio equipment or signals etc.).
• Install the device horizontally with the front panel facing up for optimal
heat dissipation.
• Keep the Hub away from other devices with a strong electromagnetic
reference such as cordless phones and microwaves.
• Do not exceed the maximum ambient operating temperature of 32-104° F
(0-40° C). Be aware of conditions in an enclosed rack that may cause the
temperature to exceed ambient room conditions.

Once the power cord is connected, the Hub automatically powers on and the
LED power indicator on the front panel turns green. The rst time it is powered
on, it automatically begins the rmware installation. This may take several
minutes to complete.
Each time the Hub is powered on after the initial rmware installation, connects
to Biamp's software/rmware repository to check for updates. The device
automoatically installs the most recent version found.
1. Connect the power source to the Hub and an outlet.
2. Use an HDMI cable to connect the Hub to a monitor.
3. Connect the Hub to the server/router with an Ethernet cable.
4. Once the Hub is powered up a splash screen appears on the monitor.
Find the IP address of a Hub device
An IP address is required to download the Hub apps from the device or to
congure it with the web console. When the Hub is connected to the company
LAN, the IP address is dynamically assigned by the DHCP server or statically
assigned during conguration.
When connected to a display or projector, and no presentation is in progress,
the IP address appears on the welcome screen. Contact the Network
Administator if the suggested methods are not possible.
Go to downloads to access and choose the appropriate App and Driver.

The Hub+ has no connection to the Internet in a stand-alone mode. The wired Network interface that connects to the corporate LAN is disabled.
Users can access the system by connecting a device to the built-in wireless access point of the Hub+ models. Users present to the display device that is physically
connected to the Hub+ HDMI port and the device screens of any other users that are connected to the same Hub+ system via WiFi.
The stand-alone mode is a secure presentation system isolated from both the corporate LAN and the Internet. Users do not have access to resources hosted on
the corporate network or in a cloud server while connected to the Hub+ system. Any presentation materials required must be accessible on the user's local device.
