Linux - Driver Install - Real Port Coordinator
From VersaVision Support
OVERVIEW
- In order to get the Ethernet connected Real-Port Coordinator to communicate with the VersaVision software, you will need to install the drivers.
- Prior to receiving the Coordinator, you will need to have either provided VersaCall with the Static IP information or have your IT team setup a DHCP Reserved IP Address.
- When using a Static IP Address, the Coordinator will be pre-programmed before shipping from VersaCall.
- When using a DHCP Reserved IP Address, VersaCall Technician will provide you with the MAC Address prior to shipment.
