That is something I don't normally do...it moves with me as I don't normally network things until the end. Good luck.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-31-2012 12:36 AM                     It stays permanently at the theater. When needed, it simply is turned on. Sometimes 2 are needed to get full coverage, but no matter where you are in the building, you're on the network. Why would you wait until the last minute to network? That's the first thing we do.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

It also forces the theatre to have run the system "manually" so they know how to, at least, run the stuff. Putting it on the network also takes relatively little time once all of the theatres are up. I have noticed that for a DCS system...the network must come first. I don't leave a wireless system on there and just bring my own if I'm going to be on-site...it takes how long to put it on the network? Seconds? Heck, every Barco projector has a switch built into it. The wireless I carry has a switch (as most routers do) built in so "splicing" it in is also a couple of seconds.  |  IP: Logged
