Wi-Fi Router

The PRISM System includes an independent Ethernet Wi-Fi router and switch, creating a dedicated network that connects key PRISM components. This isolated network enhances the system's reliability by avoiding interference from shared networks.

Key Functions of the PRISM Network

  • Projector Connection: Ensures stable communication between the Image Generator and projectors.
  • Philips Hue Lighting System: Maintains a dedicated connection for seamless control of the lighting system.
  • Tablet Hotspot: Provides a secure, local hotspot for the Surface Pro Tablet, used for real-time PRISM control and content authoring.

Benefits of the Independent PRISM Network

  • Isolation: The dedicated network prevents interference from other devices on shared networks, reducing latency and connectivity issues.
  • Robustness: Ensures reliable connections for all PRISM components, maintaining performance even if other networks in the area experience high traffic.

Setup and Maintenance Tips

  1. Ensure All Devices Are Connected to the PRISM Network

  2. Verify that each device (projectors, Hue lighting, Surface Pro Tablet) is connected to the dedicated PRISM network for optimal performance.

  3. Monitor Router and Switch Status:

  4. Regularly check the router and switch for any warning lights or errors to ensure stable network operation.

  5. Restart the router and switch if connectivity issues arise with any PRISM component.

  6. Avoid Connecting Non-PRISM Devices:

  7. To maintain the integrity of the PRISM network, avoid connecting non-PRISM devices, which may introduce interference or security vulnerabilities.
