MAWi platform consists of a single ‘MAWi Server’ installation, that can control multiple ‘MAWi Agent’ instances.
Each MAWi Agent can be installed on a different network or site and connected to the MAWi Server, allowing you to centrally manage and control all screens from a single web-based dashboard.
Please note
MAWi Server and MAWi Agent can be installed on the same PC in case you have just one site.
In this guide, we will walk you through the installation process of the MAWi Zero platform.
The process consists of 2 steps:
1. Installing MAWi Agent and/or MAWi Server.
2. Installing the MAWi Zero additional steps.
In case you didn’t tick the box during the installation process, the OSBASE drivers are also available here.
You can name the location in the installation process or do it later in the settings of the MAWi Agent.
If installing only the MAWi
Agent component, enter here the IP address or hostname
of your MAWi Server and leave the port number on 60668.
Use your username and password credentials that you set while installing the MAWi Server to login the Agent.
When selecting to install MAWi Server, it will check if the MS SQL Server is installed on the machine.

MAWi Zero uses HDMI over LAN zero client adapters as the endpoints that connect to the screens.
On this guide, we will walk you through the process of installing and configuring your host PC to run with our zero clients.
Step 1: Initial system requirement
Centerm – C75 V1, V2, V3
ThinGLOBAL – MiniPoint DS Series
Atrust – m320 or m321
HP – T200
Lenkeng – LKV376 (PC to HDMI over LAN)
Phistek
– ZE6000
or ZE5000
Please note:
3. Start
the program “Network USB Setting” by clicking on the
following icon
The program presents all available Zero Clients found on the local network and allows you to connect to relevant hardware.
Select the
device and click “Assign to this PC”. This
operation will extend the host PC’s
desktop to the monitor which is connected to the Zero Client.
NOTE:
1. This operation will cause the zero clients to automatically re-connect to the host PC on every reboot.
2. If the zero client’s status is showing: Assignment: Other PC Please press on the “Clear PC assignment” button and repeat previous step.
3. To rename
the zero client to something more meaningful, for example: the physical
location of the unit, or assign a fixed IP address, click on “Configuration”
and enter new name / all network details. Zero client cannot be assigned to the
PC for this task, “Clear PC assignment” first, modify, then re-assign when
changes have been made.
4. Configure all screens
a. Right
click on the desktop and select Display settings
b. Make sure scaling is set to 100% in the “Change the size of text…” section.
c. Set the resolution.
