Thank you for choosing the proVEOS Wireless Presentation Gateway. ProVEOS

features
Play video and audio files on the big screen in HD quality
Staff can easily control access to the projector to ensure a smooth
presentation flow

How proVEOS Works
A proVEOS setup is made up of three major components:
1. A Windows or Macintosh computer with the proVEOS software installed
2. proVEOS Wireless Presentation Gateway connected to a projector and
speakers
3. Local area network (LAN)
The computer and proVEOS gateway are connected to the LAN to allow
them to send and receive information
The proVEOS Client on the computer signs in to the gateway,
announcing its presence to the other participants
The proVEOS Client is switched to presentation mode to start capturing
the laptop’s display continuously and send it to the proVEOS gateway
over the LAN
Multimedia files can also be sent to the proVEOS gateway for playback

proVEOS User Manual Page 7
The proVEOS gateway receives the display information and multimedia
files from the laptop and sends them to the connected projector and
speakers
The presenter can also show a white board on the projector, and allow
other participants to join in and contribute

Installing the
proVEOS
Software for
Windows

proVEOS User Manual Page 9
The Connect Me is installed on PCs and laptops, and provides access to a full
range of features available on a proVEOS gateway.
Minimum system requirements:
Windows 7 or Vista
256MB RAM or more
Connect the computer to the network and start Internet Explorer (IE).
Note:
ActiveX support is recommended for installation. ActiveX is only available
in Internet Explorer.
Configuring Firewall Software
Before installing the Connect Me, configure your computer’s firewall software to
prevent problems when the Connect Me attempts to connect and communicate
with the proVEOS gateway.
The most common connection problems are caused when firewall software are
configured to prevent the Connect Me from making outgoing connections to other
devices on the network, like the proVEOS gateway.
Note:
Check the firewall settings on your computer before you install or run the
software to make presentations.

Installing the Windows proVEOS Software
Starting the Installer
Enter the address of the proVEOS gateway in IE’s address bar and press
Enter.
Note:
The IP address is usually an internal domain name allocated by the
system administrator (e.g. projector.company.com) or an internal IP
address (e.g. 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x). New proVEOS units are
configured with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1. The subnet mask
is 255.255.255.0.
The proVEOS web page is loaded:
