After the device is activated, it can operate offline. For more general information on activating Speaker Ready System, review the Activating Speaker Ready System for your Event article.

Activating a Workstation Device

To add and activate a Workstation device, follow these steps:

1. Begin by accessing http://localhost/ on the device that will be used as the Workstation. This will display a Station code that will be used to activate the device.

2. On a different device, which does not need to be on the same network as the Speaker Ready System, access the Stations module in Eventscribe Onsite.

3. Navigate to the Workstations tab in the Stations module and select +Add Workstation.    

4. Enter the Station Code displayed on the device you are activating. 
5. Select the Controller that you want to connect the Workstation to.
6. Select Add.

7. It may take a few seconds for the Workstation to fully activate. Once it is activated, it will show up with an online status and the Workstation name will be automatically generated.

8. The screen on the device you are activating will update to display the Workstation screen.

9. To add and activate additional Workstations, select Add and choose Workstations from the drop-down menu and repeat steps 1-6.
