Functionality

All-round control plans
− Enables users to publish content and control screens from a computer, mobile
phone, or tablet
− Allows users to publish content and control
screens from anywhere, anytime.
− Allows users to monitor screens from
anywhere, anytime. anytime.

Switching between Wi-Fi AP and Wi-Fi STA
− In Wi-Fi AP mode, the user terminal connects to the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot of the TB30. The default SSID is “AP+Last 8 digits of SN” and the default password is “12345678”.
− In Wi-Fi STA mode, the user terminal and
the TB30 are connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot of a router.

Synchronous playback across multiple screens
NTP time synchronization
− GPS time synchronization (The specified
4G module must be installed.)
− RF time synchronization (The specified RF
module must be installed.)

Support for 4G modules
The TB30 ships without a 4G module. Users
have to purchase 4G modules separately if
needed.
Network connection priority: Wired network > WiFi network > 4G network When multiple types of networks are available,
the TB30 will choose a signal automatically
according to the priority.
