Chapter 2: Overview
Alternatively, Coalesce client apps can also be accessed by entering the IP address visible on the Coalesce display into a web
browser on the client device. All laptops and mobile devices need to be connected to the same network as the Coalesce.
Android and iOS devices will also require Internet access to download the app. Once installed, the app will remain on the device
for future use and does not need to be downloaded/installed again.
Coalesce client apps for Windows and Mac laptops can also be run from a USB dongle, with no installation and no dependen-
cies or libraries required on the client laptop. Instructions for creating Coalesce dongles are available at www.blackbox.com/get-
Coalesce.
