VIA GO² – For Web Administrator: Configuring Settings – Gateway Management Pages
Formatting Room Name 1
Room Name 1 is the address used to join a meeting.
Format the following on the PROPERTIES tab:
Figure 24: Room Name Properties Tab
• In the Room Name field, you can enter one or both of the following:
▪ #roomname# – Automatically displays the IP address of the meeting space (default).
▪ #airplayname# – Automatically displays the airplay name of the meeting space,
(see Mirroring Apple Laptops and iPhones Using iOS/OS X Airplay Service
on page 76).
• In the Custom Room Name field, enter a custom name for the meeting space. This
name appears in place of the meeting space IP address when #roomname# is used in
the Room Name field (see bullet above).
If you enter a name in the Custom Room Name, it does not change the IP address,
but adds a custom name that can make it easier to identify the meeting space. This
name appears in the meeting space list along with the IP address. A participant can
start typing the custom name instead of the IP address to join the meeting
(see Joining a VIA Meeting on page 70).
Custom room names only work if DNS has been configured to properly redirect the
Room Name to the appropriate IP address or if broadcast is working in your
network environment. We recommend adding a text field and including the VIA’s IP
address on the wallpaper as well as the custom name.
• Under Show Room Name on second Display also, click ON to show the room name on
both displays, when using dual displays (see Connecting Main Display on page 10).
• Under Room Name Overlay:
▪ Click ON to always show the room name on top of all content being presented on the
screen.
