Connecting to a display

After opening the TEOS Connect software on your computer you will see the application interface, shown here below.

Generating the list of displays

An automatic scan of the network will be done to discover the displays available. In case the display you want to connect to is not in the list, you can still add it manually by clicking on the “+” button. Please see troubleshooting section for more details.

Search functionality

Clicking on the device dropdown gives you also the option to search a device by typing a

part of the name or IP address. This search functionality is not case sensitive.

Naming you displays

If a display is already in your TEOS it can show as just an IP address, but it can also show with a name given to the displays TEOS Connect by the administrator or configuration manager. If an administrator or configuration manager has set a name and activated the welcome screen it will show this name on the welcome screen.

Edit

On your own TEOS Connect on your computer you can set this name to any name you choose. This can be a different name then what is shown on the welcome screen if this is activated. Of course, you can also choose to use the same name.

To do this select the device first in the devices dropdown and when you have selected the device you can right-click the name. A pop-up will show with Edit and Delete.


If you click “Edit” the following screen will open:


Here you can change the name and IP address of the device if this might have changed on the display. 
This name will be saved on your computer until you delete the device from your list again. 
TEOS will show the name given to the display again when restarting TEOS Connect on your computer.

Delete

To delete a device, you can just select a device in the device’s dropdown. Then right-click on the device and click delete.

Mirroring to a display

Select the display you want to mirror to, then click “Connect”.
 

The display will automatically generate a 4-digit security code that you need to enter in the new pop-up box on your computer:

 

After entering the code, you can click start (or press enter) and the display will start casting your

desktop.
