MAWi platform consists of a single ‘MAWi Server’ installation, that can control multiple ‘MAWi Agent’ instances.
MAWi Agent is installed on a PC or a VM that is connected to single or multiple screens that you want to control and play content on them.
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.
MAWi Agent can be either installed on a PC or a virtual machine, connected to a single display or multiple displays.
Please note:
In case you have just a single site you can choose to install both, MAWi Server and MAWi Agent, on the same PC or virtual machine.
In the installation process, when selecting the MAWi Agent component you will need to select :
‘Install additional drivers for MAWi Zero’
This step is necessary for the basic operation of the Zero Clients.
Please remember to tick this box!
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.

By default, the MAWi Agent will be installed with the additional components:
– VLC Media Player v3

Location name

If installing only the MAWi
Agent component, enter here the IP address or hostname
