2 Features
2.1 Powerful Processing Capability
The JT100 features powerful hardware processing capability:
1.5 GHz eight-core processor
H.265 4K high-definition video hardware decoding playback
1080P video hardware decoding
2 GB operating memory
8 GB on-board internal storage space with 4 GB available for users
2.2 Dual-Wi-Fi Mode
The JT100 has permanent Wi-Fi AP and supports the Wi-Fi Sta mode, carrying
advantages as shown below:
Completely covers Wi-Fi connection scene. The JT100 can be connected to
through self-carried Wi-Fi AP or the external router.
Completely covers client terminals. Mobile phone, Pad and PC can be used to log
in to the JT100 through wireless network.
Requires no wiring. Display management can be managed at any time, having
improvements in efficiency.
Wi-Fi AP signal strength is related to the transmit distance and environment. Users
can change the Wi-Fi antenna as required.
2.2.1 Wi-Fi AP Mode
Users connect the Wi-Fi AP of a JT100 to directly access the JT100. The SSID is “AP
+ the last 8 digits of the SN”, for example, “AP10000033”, and the default password
is “12345678”.

2.2.2 Wi-Fi Sta Mode
Configure an external router for a JT100 and users can access the JT100 by
connecting the external router. If an external router is configured for multiple JT100
units, a LAN can be created. Users can access any of the JT100 via the LAN.
2.2.3 Wi-Fi AP+Sta Mode
In Wi-Fi AP+ Sta connection mode, users can either directly access the JT100 or
access internet through bridging connection.
2.3 Redundant Backup
JT100 supports network redundant backup and Ethernet port redundant backup.
Network redundant backup: The JT100 automatically selects internet connection
mode among wired network or Wi-Fi Sta network according to the priority.
Ethernet port redundant backup: The JT100 enhances connection reliability
through active and standby redundant mechanism for the Ethernet port used to
connect with the receiving card.
