Troubleshooting:

If target Classroom TV is not showing on the list and the network is on Ev_IoT, try to do a restart

  • Press the Settings button on your remote control. Select More Settings > Device Preferences > About > Restart. Select Restart to confirm.

To locate the classroom TV name (if nothing is posted beside the TV), using your remote go to the Settings Icon (gear-like symbol top right), then go to System -> About menu -> then look for Device Name. You will see the same format as the one above.
