The main differences between these two editions are as follows:

Enterprise Edition: During a presentation, the host must obtain permission from

participants for screen preview. After connecting to the

NovoConnect B360 device, each user has a screen preview control tab. For more information on the screen preview function refer to the Presentation Management section for your respective device.

Education Edition: During a presentation, the host can preview the screen of any

participant without requiring permission. After connecting to the NovoConnect B360 device, each user does not have a screen preview control tab. For more information on the screen preview function refer to the Presentation Management section for your respective device.

This manual primarily uses the Enterprise Edition for instructional examples. Special notes will

accompany instructions that are specific to the Enterprise Edition.

1.3 Software Download and Installation

The NovoConnect B360 device supports up to 64 concurrent participants across a mix of PC and

Tablet devices. Each participant’s device will need to set up a connection with the presentation

application, the Remote Viewer, residing on the B360 to make a presentation. You will need to

download and install the following application software:

On Windows PC - NovoConnect Desktop Streamer

On Mac PC - NovoConnect Desktop Streamer

On iOS tablet – NovoPresenter

On Android tablet – NovoPresenter

Note: Throughout the document, these four presentation application software and the B360

Remote Viewer software are highlighted in Italics font.

Downloading the Presentation Software for Windows PC and Mac PC

WiFi modes from the NovoConnect home screen.

A) Client mode – for content residing in a private cloud or the Internet cloud

B) Hotspot mode – for content residing on your PC or Tablet

C) Either – for content residing on your microSD card

The NovoConnect B360 defaults to start up in WiFi Hotspot mode, which is the shortest path to

make a wireless presentation without needing a WiFi AP. If this is your preferred mode, you

may skip to next chapter for steps to making a presentation.

If you would like to make your presentation in a WiFi AP networked environment, please refer

to the “Client Mode” section in this chapter.

2.1 Hotspot Mode

Right out of the box, NovoConnect’s WiFi is set to function as a WiFi Hotspot and will stay in this

configuration until you alter it. The default SSID for the WiFi Hotspot is “NVC_XXXXX”, where

“XXXXX” is a machine generated string of characters and numbers. A mouse is required for the

following steps.

If you alter your settings and then choose to revert to Hotspot mode, on the NovoConnect

home screen, select WiFi-> Hotspot Mode->Apply.

For a PC to connect to the B360 Hotspot, click the network icon or on task bar. Select

the SSID of the NovoConnect B360 device shown on the home screen (for example, NVC_DC9AB)

and click Connect.

For a Mac to connect to the B360 Hotspot, click the network icon . Select the SSID of the

NovoConnect B360 device shown on the home screen (for example, NVC_DC9AB) and click Join.

For a tablet to connect to the B360 Hotspot, enable WiFi and go to the WiFi AP list. Select the

SSID of the NovoConnect B360 device shown on the home screen (for example, NVC_DC9AB).

Note: In Hotspot mode operation, all participating presentation devices must be connected to

the same NovoConnect B360 WiFi HotSpot.

2.2 Client Mode

In this mode, the B360 device functions as a WiFi client and a WiFi AP is needed for network

connectivity. A mouse is required for the following steps.

On the home screen of the NovoConnect, first select WiFi->Normal Mode-> Config->Wireless &

Networks-> Wi-Fi (ON), and then select the desired WiFi AP SSID. Enter password if prompted.

For a PC to connect to the Wi-Fi AP, click the network icon or . Select the desired

WiFi AP SSID. Enter password if prompted.

For a Mac to connect to the Wi-Fi AP, click the network icon . Select the desired WiFi AP

SSID and click Join. Enter password if prompted.

WiFi AP SSID. Enter password if prompted.

3. Making a Presentation

The NovoConnect B360 device supports up to 64 concurrent participants across a mix of PC and

Tablet devices. To make a presentation, each participant’s device will need to connect to the

B360 and join the presentation group hosted by the B360. There are three key features which

help facilitate smooth collaboration and coordination of presentations using the NovoConnect:

1) A participant list is included with the individuals’ roles indicated with clear graphical

representation

2) A specific capability is defined for each role

3) The split screen and annotation tool for simultaneous presentation of multiple

participants.

6. Troubleshooting

Q: NovoConnect does not operate.

A: Check if the proper DC power supply with the appropriate operating voltage and sufficient

operating current (5VDC, 2A) is connected to the Micro-USB port of the NovoConnect

B360.

Q: My PC cannot link to NovoConnect wirelessly.

A: For your PC to link to NovoConnect, your PC must either have a built-in a Wi-Fi module or

an external Wi-Fi adapter, and WiFi must be enabled. If the NovoConnect B360 is set to

Hotspot Mode (factory-default mode), choose NovoConnect’s SSID from the available

SSID list. If NovoConnect is set to Client Mode and is connected to a specific WiFi AP,

choose that AP’s SSID from the available SSID list.

Q: The play/pause buttons do not work.

A: These buttons are functional only for the current presenters.

Q: I cannot connect to the internet on NovoConnect.

A: This is normal if the NovoConnect B360 is set to Hotspot Mode, since NovoConnect by

itself does not support WAN (wireless wide area network) access. To access the internet,

such as web browsingon NovoConnect, please set the WiFi to Client Mode and connect to

a WiFi AP that ha route to the Internet.

Q: My PC or mobile device has failed to connect to NovoConnect.

A:

First, make sure that Wi-Fi is enabled on your device. If NovoConnect is set to Hotspot

Mode (factory-default mode), choose NovoConnect’s SSID from the available SSID list. If

NovoConnect is set to Client Mode and is connected to a WiFi router, choose that

router’s SSID from the available SSID list.

Q: I cannot choose to present in full screen or in one of the split screens.

A: Only the host has the authority to decide whether your presentation is to be seen in full

screen or one of the split screens. You may be invited to be the host: 1) if the Reset

button is clicked on the NovoConnect B360, 2) if the host explicitly hands over host

control to you, or 3) if all other presenters have disconnected from NovoConnect.

Q: I am the host, but I cannot preview other participants’ screens.

A: To preview a participant’s screen before sending a presentation invitation, that

participant must have screen preview enabled on his device.

Q: My device’s on-screen display looks stretched or compressed on NovoConnect’s screen

output.

A: There may be an aspect ratio mismatch between the NovoConnect B360’s chosen output

resolution and your device’s screen aspect ratio (e.g. your device’s screen has the 4:3

aspect ratio, and you have set NovoConnect’s output resolution to a 16:9 or 16:10 option).

Try to set the display resolution on the NovoConnect B360 so that it has an aspect ratio

either matching that of your device or is as close to your device’s screen aspect ratio as

possible. You have option of letting NovoConnect automatically determines the best

output resolution by selecting Auto Config in the Display setting..

Q: During the presentation, my PC/Mac computer’s cursor is flickering.

A: You can try a different screen resolution for your PC/Mac computer. You can also try

different settings for Projection Mode, Visual Quality, and Screen Refresh Rate (which

need to be set before you connect your PC/Mac computer to your NovoConnect B360) –

until the problem disappears or is reduced.
