Overview
A Remote Coordinator is when you connect the Coordinator to an Ethernet Port. This guide will explain how to configure & install a remote coordinator that is on the same subnet as the VersaCall computer/server. IT will need to provide a static IP address that can be used for this device.


Requirements
See Requirements Here
1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system.
2. Physical access to the Coordinator & VersaCall Computer/Server.
3. New Coordinator hardware.
4. New RS-232 hardware.
5. Assigned IP Address from your IT Department.
6. Open Ethernet Port in the location the Coordinator will be placed.
7. Two open 110V outlets available in the mounting location.
