For Web Administrator: Gateway
Dashboard
Administrators control an individual VIA Connect² device from two menus:
• Gateway Dashboard Page – These are a web UI, loaded from inside the device, which
control general device settings. The Management Pages are high-level controls which
can be accessed over LAN and Wi-fi, and require an administrator’s password (see
For
Web Administrator: Gateway Management Pages on page 13).
• Gateway Dashboard – This Web UI, also loaded from inside the device, controls
features of the meeting interface. Depending on local configuration, non-administrators
may also be able to change settings.
A VSM (VIA Site Manager, optional) may also be used to centrally control all VIA devices.
Logging in to the Gateway Dashboard
The Gateway Dashboard is accessed with a mouse and keyboard connected directly to the
VIA gateway unit (see Collaborating on the Main Display on page 112
) or through an external
device that is logged in to a meeting and in Collaboration mode (see Using the Whiteboard
on page 113).
• Access to the Gateway Dashboard is controlled by the Quick Client Access setting in the Via
Settings > System tab (see System on page 46
).
• If a Moderator is defined, then only the moderator can access this menu.
• The Settings tab requires an administrator user and password. (see
Settings – Logging into
the Settings tab on page 83).
Click the VIA icon in the lower left of the main display or use CTRL-Tab to view an
open screen. The Gateway Dashboard opens on the Features page.
