Client/Server network relationship

Hi Rob,

The URI for the server should be the URI for your local installation.

For example if you access your admin interface by going
http://myserver/xibo/ then this is what you should put in as the server URI.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi Rob

We absolutely support multiple subnets. Indeed Xibo has been designed to work over a WAN just as well as a LAN.

As Dan says, put in your local installation URI, and then crucially click "Save" before attempting to register the client.

Once registered, you'll need to go in to Displays in the server management menu and authorise the new display.

Cheers

Rob has inferred that this is solved in his latest question, so marking as such.
