The potential for saving on cost and time is enormous.”
After offering this service for VLAN-configured Just Add Power systems for nearly a decade, Blackwire now also supports the new IGMP-configured systems from both Just Add Power and AVPro Edge. With the tool, Blackwire will also fully document and save the network switch settings all the way down to what port should be used for each transmitter or receiver, allowing dealers to quickly perform updates and resolve any technical issues.
