Finishing up your onsite settings

After you have performed all the tasks under Onsite Setup, you are ready to use EventBoxes on the day of your event. But before you get to that stage, you should arrange the following:

• At least one laptop (can be rented from Visit and Poken by GES)
• If you choose to use your own laptop(s) you must arrange the delivery of the EventBox soft- and hardware with Visit and Poken by GES.
• At least one scanner (rented from Visit and Poken by GES)
• If you want to print badges, at least one printer (can be rented from Visit and Poken by GES)
• An Internet connection. This is useful but not mandatory unless you want to follow the Event data live in Visit or register people on the spot.
• Port 6203 TCP should be open for communication
• Event username and password (supplied to you by Visit and Poken by GESprior to event)

The number of laptops, scanners and printers you need will depend on how big your event is.

Once you have the computers, printers and network connections in place it is time to power up the EventBox.

If you choose not to rent a laptop from Visit and Poken by GES, the computer you use must be USB bootable. Please refer to the manufacturer’s manual for this information. The Visit and Poken by GES EventBox USB stick is compatible with X86 computers. You must insert the USB stick in the computer before starting it up.
