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
- Ensure All Devices Are Connected to the PRISM Network
-
Verify that each device (projectors, Hue lighting, Surface Pro Tablet) is connected to the dedicated PRISM network for optimal performance.
-
Monitor Router and Switch Status:
- Regularly check the router and switch for any warning lights or errors to ensure stable network operation.
-
Restart the router and switch if connectivity issues arise with any PRISM component.
-
Avoid Connecting Non-PRISM Devices:
- To maintain the integrity of the PRISM network, avoid connecting non-PRISM devices, which may introduce interference or security vulnerabilities.
