TWO MODES OF OPERATION
STANDALONE
The setup allows the ND4210w Network Display to act as an independent network device controlled
by one server.
TAS MANAGED
You can purchase Tivella Administration Server (TAS) separately through Tivella (www.tivella.com
or a Tivella dealer/reseller). A TAS server should be used to configure and manage multiple
Network Displays remotely. TAS provides centralized scheduling of video content presentation
on multiple Network Displays, as well as management and seamless operation of a Cisco®
ACNS Content Distribution Networking infrastructure if one is installed. This configuration greatly
reduces maintenance overhead, when TAS and the Network Display are connected to the
network (LAN/WAN) with the TAS acting as a manager for multiple Network Displays.

SETTING UP THE NETWORK DISPLAY
1. CONNECT TO A SWITCH OR ROUTER
Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the Network Display to either a switch or a router
with DHCP services. See your IT Administrator for a code to the switch or a router. Connect
the AC power cord from the Network Display to an AC power source like a wall outlet.

Connect Multiple Network Displays (optional)
You can daisy chain several Network Displays together. The two built-in Ethernet ports make
the ViewSonic Network Displays unique because you do not need separate network switches
or PCs for each Network Display. Media content on each Network Display can be scheduled
independently when connected to an external server.
Plug another RJ-45 Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port of another Network Display. You can
connect either of the two Ethernet ports of one unit to either of the two Ethernet ports of another unit.
