Configure the Iron Bow vCLINiC
This topic provides an outline of the steps Iron Bow vCLINiC administrators should take to configure their Iron Bow vCLINiC using the VidyoRoom Admin UI.
Before you begin the configuration using the Admin UI, ensure that you have installed your vCLINiC according to the instructions in the Iron Bow vCLINiC Installation and User Guide (CLINiC-VC-10XIR-A01), which is available from the Iron Bow Downloads page, and that you have read About the Iron Bow vCLINiC.
To configure the vCLINiC, follow the steps in the table below. The first column in the table lists the general configuration step, the second column provides links to articles where you can get more specific steps and other detailed information, and the last column describes any additional information you need to know as a vCLINiC administrator.

|
Configure the WiFi settings. |
|
The vCLINiC supports WiFi with 802.11n and 802.11ac speeds, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bandwidth, and the WPA2 security protocol. If you want to use WiFi with your Iron Bow vCLINiC, you must first have a wired connection in order to reach the Admin UI. Once you have accessed the Admin UI, you can then use the steps in the section to configure WiFi for your vCLINiC. (To enable WiFi, click the 'Enable WiFi' option, then enter the SSID. Then, enter a password and click Save.) You must also ensure that the antennas are installed according to the Iron Bow vCLINiC Installation and User Guide. Lastly, if you change the WiFi configuration, the system will continue to remember the original setting. For example, if you initially set the WiFi network to Vidyo1 and then change it to vCLINiC1, the system remembers both and can connect to either (and you cannot delete the original setting). |

To enable low-light mode, press the Manage button and then press *01 on the infrared remote control when you’re not in a call and not using the OnScreen UI. To disable low-light mode, press the Manage button and then press *02. For example, if you’re in a room with a patient, you may want to enable or disable this mode when the overhead lights in the room are turned on or off. |
