Providing LocalRealtime™ & LiveDeposition.com Streaming
•When it is necessary to provide both LocalRealtime™ Realtime and
LiveDeposition.com remote Realtime streaming (via the Internet), the
LocalRealtime™ router must be connected to the facility’s network via the yellow
(WAN) port on the back of the router. In order for this to function correctly, it is
imperative that the hosting facility provide a network connection to their existing
Internet-connected network. The facility must have a DHCP enabled network
with the ability to handoff a routable IP address to the router, as well as DNS
provisioning. In some cases, it will be necessary to consult with the facility’s IT
personnel prior to attending the deposition.

Troubleshooting
Client is not receiving Realtime or is receiving an Error
•Ensure the client is connected to the correct wireless network
[SSID: LIVEDEPO12345].
•Ensure the LocalRealtime™ within StenoDirectPlus is activated and a temporary
password has been assigned.
•Ensure the device (or computer) is not hibernating (in sleep mode). If so,
wakeup the device and then reconnect.
•Ensure the Realtime client did not leave the proximity of the LocalRealtime™
router. If so, reconnect to the wireless network [LIVEDEPO12345], then
reconnect to the stenographer’s feed.
Time Stamps Do Not Match CaseView Protocol
•Ensure the CaseView protocol is set so that the Realtime output is timestamp
activated.
No Wireless Network Present or No Connection Available
•Ensure all devices are powered on and properly connected.
In some cases, the following may appear in the computer’s system tray:
“Limited or No Internet Access” does not necessarily mean that the client is not
connected. Please note that clients connecting to the LocalRealtime™ router will not
be connected to the Internet unless the LocalRealtime™ router is connected to the
Internet
(See Section on Providing LocalRealtime™ & LiveDeposition.com Streaming – Page 5).

When a Realtime Client has properly connected to the LocalRealtime™ wireless router,
the client computer’s WIFI signal may indicate Limited Access and/or an exclamation
mark. This indicates that a wireless connection to the LocalRealtime™ router has
been established and may receive realtime. If the LocalRealtime™ router is connected
to the host facilities network (via the yellow WAN port), the Limited or No Access
message will disappear.
