Actiontec’s ScreenBeam™ Central Management System (CMS) is a full-featured software utility to remotely configure and manage your ScreenBeam wireless display receivers in medium to large deployments. CMS, easily manage ScreenBeam receivers distributed throughout multiple conference rooms, classrooms, buildings, and locations.
From a central location, remotely monitor receiver status, apply security policies, troubleshoot problems, perform a reset, update receivers, and more.
Whether receivers are managed as a group or individually, the Central Management System console gives IT full access to remotely manage or change the settings. For example, you can set a device’s power management features or change the PIN. Remotely reboot a single receiver or group of receivers, as well as restore a receiver to factory settings when needed. When a problem is reported, CMS virtually eliminates the need to visit the location, ensuring that the wireless display stays up and running across your organization.
CMS dramatically reduces the cost of deploying and managing wireless display technology in medium to large deployments.
Group Receivers by Location
IT administrators can organize ScreenBeam receivers in groups to streamline management and best meet the needs of their organization. For example, you can group ScreenBeam receivers located in buildings, departments, classrooms, and conference rooms. Then in seconds, you can apply policies, change settings, and update firmware for all devices within that group. Or, easily drill down to manage a single receiver.
