Connect to a Videohub Server with USB
Non ethernet enabled Videohubs can connect to any computer on your local area IP based
network via USB. One “server” computer on your network connects to Videohub via the plug
and play USB connection, and shares the Videohub with other computers and iPads on your
network in a similar way to USB printer sharing. You don’t need a dedicated or powerful
computer for this task.
The Videohub Server can be any computer running Mac OS or Windows. Any number of
Mac and Windows clients can connect to the server over the network.
To connect Videohub to the local area IP based network:
1 Securely connect and power on all of the power supplies included with your Videohub.
2 Connect the Videohub router to the Videohub Server computer with a standard
USB 2.0 type A-B male cable.
3 Connect the Videohub Server computer to your network switch. We strongly
recommend connecting the Videohub Server computer with reliable Ethernet cables
in preference to wireless networking. Wireless networking may be affected by
interference from appliances and other wireless devices.
Proceed to the “Configuring your Videohub Server Settings” section.
