Follow these guidelines and recommendations:

  • For optimal performance, use a wired connection for computers browsing to the Metasys UI.
  • Alternatively, for mobile phones and tablets, you can use a wireless IEEE 802.11 connection on a 4G network. Browsing to the Metasys UI over a 3G communications network is possible, but it is not recommended or supported.
  • High latency (also called lag or wait time) can cause the Metasys UI to disconnect from the ADS or ADX.
  • To avoid high latency, use a network with 20 mpbs upload speed.
  • Signal strength impacts the overall performance of the Metasys UI. For the best results, ensure you have a strong signal for your wireless connection.
