How to Connect to Solstice?

Note: you need to download the Solstice Client application for whatever system you use - Windows, Mac, Android, iOS. (Linux, ChromeOS and Windows mobile devices are not supported.)

To ensure the Solstice app can see devices on the University network, click on 'Settings' in the app and input 'solstice.warwick.ac.uk' in the 'Solstice Discovery Service' address box if it is not already there. Click 'Back' and the main page should now display all the devices seen by the discovery service.

When you get to the room, switch the screen on.

Select "Solstice" on the input control panel, and the screen will display the Solstice Home screen shown below.

Solstice_home

Find the DISPLAY NAME/room number on the Solstice Client app.

App window

    When prompted for a screen key in the Solstice Client app, enter the four-digit KEY shown on the room's display screen, and then click OK to finish connecting wirelessly to the display.

    If the Solstice name is not listed in the app, it should be possible to connect by typing the IP address displayed onscreen into a browser and following the connection instructions it provides.

    Here is a short video guiding you on how to connect to the Solstice Pods.

    Remember: You need to download the Solstice Client app for whatever system you use - Windows, Mac, Android, iOS.
