What is Client Monitor?

Client Monitor is a new type of monitor that can be used as a general monitor and can also be
used as a terminal by connecting it to a host PC with a LAN connection so that you can use a
Client Monitor to access the Internet, create a document and edit an image file.
In addition, you can connect an external storage device (e.g. DSC, MP3, external storage, etc.)
to the USB port and enjoy music, video and games saved on the device.

Moreover, you can display your screen on another display device such as a projector through the
VGA OUT port so that the monitor can be utilized for various purposes such as video
conferences, joint-work, etc.

In addition, since Win CE is integrated within the monitor, you can search the Internet or USB
memory independently without connecting it to the host PC.

Connecting a Client Monitor

1) Connect to the host PC using a LAN cable

1. Connect the power cord to the power terminal at the back of the monitor.

2. Connect the mouse and the keyboard to the USB ports.

3. Connect the LAN port on the back of the monitor and the hub.

4. Connect the hub and the LAN port of the host PC.

r

z The host PC must have an IP address.
z After connecting the LAN and setting the IP address, you can view the

host PC screen on the monitor.

z Use the VGA IN port to directly connect the monitor to a PC.
z Connect to the VGA OUT port to display the same picture on another

monitor such as the projector. (For presentation purposes)

z Use the USB port to connect an external storage device (e.g. DSC, MP3,

external storage, etc.).
