1. Basics
Before starting, check the existing infrastructure and define the required equipment and
settings.
Various examples in this document show the different ways in which Cynap Core can be
integrated into the network.
When connecting Cynap Core to LAN and WLAN at the same time, please use different IP
ranges in order to prevent address conflicts.
The listed IP addresses are only examples.
Cynap Core can be treated as a standard network device and it is as secure as the
supporting network. Cynap Core cannot be considered as a router, switch or firewall.
Communication to other networks and access must to be controlled using your existing
equipment (firewall, router, switch and so on).
By default, Cynap Core´s second LAN port (LAN 2) is dedicated to fully integrate a
WolfVision Visualizer. The behaviour of this LAN port (LAN 2) can be changed to connect
Cynap Core e.g. to a RMS network (Room Management System) and mirroring purposes.
This way, the built-in DHCP server is de-activated and a Visualizer cannot be fully integrated.
When using vSolution Matrix, it is recommended to connect all station of a room to one
single network switch to obtain maximum performance.
Attention:
When the second LAN port (LAN 2) is set to Visualizer Mode, never connect this LAN port for
the Visualizer to your existing network infrastructure!
If this port is set to Visualizer mode, Cynap Core acts as DHCP-server on this port and this
could cause conflicts with the existing infrastructure.
When using vSolution Matrix, LAN 1 has to be used to connect all stations together.
2. Glossary
This glossary will assist you in setting up the network correctly. Please note that in order to
connect Cynap Core to an existing company network, some information from the local
administrator is required.
2.1. LAN / Ethernet settings
The following settings are available for LAN 1 and also for LAN 2, when the interface mode is
changed to LAN.
Priority Interface Access
The higher prioritized interface (value = 1) will be used for
network service first. Ensure that the value is different from the
WLAN interface priority.
DHCP
Cynap Core will get all network settings automatically from the
DHCP server in the existing network. Switch it to OFF to set the
static addresses manually.
IP address
Unique address in the network, i.e. 192.168.0.100. The IP
address of Cynap Core can for example be set to 192.168.0.1.
Subnet mask
Available IP addresses can be limited. A commonly used
subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0
Gateway
Defines the IP address of the server / connection to other
networks (such as the internet). When Cynap Core is directly
connected only to a PC, then enter the IP address of the PC.
Name server 1 / 2
Input the IP address of the preferred Domain Name System
(DNS). This Server translates domain names into
corresponding IP addresses.

Signal Level Limit (dBm)
Defines when Cynap Core start to search for another access
point with the same SSID in your infrastructure (WLAN
roaming). Monitoring the current signal level to prevent too low
values. Lookups could interrupt the network connection shortly
and every lookup will be counted (Reconnect Counter (Low
Signal Level).
Signal Level
Shows the current strength of the WLAN signal in dBm.
Reconnect Counter
(Connection Loss)
Counts every connection loss, e.g. when the selected access
point would be powered down.
Reconnect Counter (Low
Signal Level)
Counts every lookup then the measured signal falls below the
user defined signal level limit.
2.4. Date and time
Time source
Cynap Core has a built-in battery-buffered RTC clock (Real
Time Clock). Settings will only be lost if the battery is empty. To
eliminate the risk of incorrect time stamps, Cynap Core can be
synchronized to an external time server. Select external and
input a valid IP address or URL of a NTP time server.
2.5. Host name
Host name
The Host name can be changed in the settings under general
settings. The host name can be useful for network
administrators to see the device name in plain text in the list of
clients. Please note, this host name is not automatically listed in
the DNS list, and therefore cannot be used in a browser without
DNS registration.
2.6. LAN / WLAN port
The LAN port enables integration of Cynap Core into an internal network. Administrators of a
large number of Cynap Core systems can use the LAN port to control, support and update all
of their units from their local desktop PC.
The list of applications for the Cynap Core LAN port is constantly increasing. It can be used
for controlling, capturing still images, viewing live video streams, firmware updates,
adjustments, menu settings and for maintenance purposes. Some features are only
supported when using vSolution Link software.
The following protocols are supported: TCP/IP, IGMP, RTP, RTSP, UDP and ARP.
Supported (tested) internet browsers are: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge,
Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
By default, DHCP is activated to receive all network settings automatically from the server.
Hint - WLAN:
To ensure optimal performance of supplied remote control (optional), prevent channel 13 in
the band of 2.4 GHz. Switch Cynap Core to standby closes all connections.

3. Network integration (examples)
The following examples of network integration show the different ways in which Cynap Core
can be integrated. Various operating systems can each connect to Cynap Core to transfer
different information from different sources onto a large monitor.
3.1. Stand-alone access point mode (without network integration)
Cynap Core is operated in stand-alone access point mode.
The network settings must be set manually on Cynap Core (no DHCP server is available).
Cynap Core generates an independent WLAN, and WLAN enabled devices (BYOD) can
connect to Cynap Core.
Advantages:
- No complex network infrastructure necessary
- Cynap Core generates its own stand-alone access point
- No connection to internal IT infrastructure
- Security issues - no other unit from the internal IT infrastructure can access Cynap
Core
Disadvantages:
- No devices have internet access
- Cloud services cannot be used
Required settings:
DHCP Switch to OFF to enable manual setting of addresses
IP Address Unique address in the network, like 192.168.0.100. The IP address of a
connected PC could be set to 192.168.0.1 for maintenance purposes
Subnet Mask Available IP addresses can be limited. A commonly used subnet mask
would be 255.255.255.0
Gateway Enter the IP address of a directly connected PC for maintenance
purposes
Name server Not needed

Cynap Core is integrated via a cable connection into an existing network, and is operated in
wireless network access point mode. LAN settings for Cynap Core can be provided by the
DHCP server. Cynap Core generates an independent WLAN, and WLAN enabled devices
(BYOD) can connect to Cynap Core.
Advantages:
- All devices can communicate with each other
- Cynap Core has access to the Internet and cloud services can be activated
- Cynap Core can access the internet to check for firmware updates without using
additional devices
Disadvantages:
- Performance issues (all traffic is on the same network)
Hint:
If the units are in different subnets, Cynap Core might not be able to be discovered
automatically by vSolution applications.
