LiveU Solo Interface

Once the LiveU Solo is powered on and ready for work, the Home screen displays.

The Main screen provides access to the various configuration options for the LiveU Solo.

To go from the Home screen to the Main screen:

Press the Right button or the Center (OK) button on the joystick.

When moving from the Home screen to the Main screen, the Interfaces option is initially selected, as shown above. The selected option is highlighted in gray on the screen.

To select an option on the Main screen, use the Up and Down buttons on the joystick to navigate to the applicable option. Then, press the Right or Center (OK) button on the joystick to access that option’s configuration screen. A white arrow  next to an option on the Main screen indicates that the option has a sub‑menu and that you need to press the Right or Center (OK) button to access the sub-menu screen.

The following example shows how to access the Interfaces screen from the Main screen.

     

When additional options are available in the Main screen, up  and/or down  arrows are shown on the screen. These arrows indicate to you to move up and down on the screen (using the Up and Down buttons on the joystick), in order to navigate to a different option on the Main screen that is not seen on the screen.

Interfaces

The Interfaces option in the Main screen indicates the number of active interfaces out of the total number of interfaces on the LiveU Solo. In the example to the left, 4/4 means that there are four active interfaces out of the four total interfaces on the unit (2 x cellular, 1 x WiFi and 1 x Ethernet network interface). 

The LiveU Solo can connect and use up to 4 network interfaces as shown below.

• 2 x USB-connected modems, that are shown in ports E1 and E2.

These Cellular interfaces show the port number, RSSI signal strength bars, the dialed cellular network name and the uplink bandwidth (in Kbps) currently being used. In addition, each cellular interface shows the cellular operator’s technology currently in use (3G or 4G) before the cellular network name.

Once a cellular USB dongle (that contains a valid and working data SIM) has been connected to either (or both) these ports, the Solo will automatically dial and connect the dongle, updating the information accordingly.

• 1 x WiFi interface, as identified by the 

The WiFi client interface shows the selected WiFi network SSID, RSSI signal strength bars and the uplink bandwidth (in Kbps) currently being used.

A secured WiFi network will display the  icon and an unsecured WiFi network displays the  icon.

• 1 x LAN interface, as identified by the 

The LAN interface shows the DHCP-received IP address. In addition, it shows the uplink throughput (in Kbps) currently being used.

You can enable or disable one (or even all) of the LiveU Solo interfaces. Each interface must be enabled/disabled separately.
