BZBGEAR BG‑Connexio Comprehensive Setup Guide

This guide walks through installation, physical connections, network setup, wireless sharing, and peripheral integration step by step.

1. What’s in the Box

• BG-Connexio base unit
• External power adapter (regional plug included)
• 3x detachable antennas
• Quick start documentation

2. Physical Installation

Mounting Options

• Table-mounted (most common)
• Wall-mounted (behind or near the display)

Antenna Placement (Important for Performance)

• Position antennas vertically (perpendicular to the ceiling)
• Maintain:
  • 50 cm (1.6 ft) from metallic surfaces
  • 1 m (3.3 ft) from other RF devices (Wi-Fi APs, cordless phones, microwaves)
  • 15 cm (6 in) from concrete walls
• Best performance is achieved with clear line-of-sight between Connexio and user devices
• Avoid placing antennas directly above seated users—side placement is recommended

3. Rear & Front Panel Overview

Front Panel

• USB Type-A – Mouse or touch control
• USB Type-C – Dongle pairing (optional)
• Power Button – Turn unit on/off
• LED Status Indicator
  • Flashing RED – Booting
  • Flashing GREEN – Powered on / waiting
  • Solid GREEN – Ready to share
  • Solid CYAN – Actively sharing

Note: Front USB-A and USB-C ports cannot be used simultaneously. USB-A takes priority.

Rear Panel

• HDMI Output (up to 4K / HDMI 2.0)
• Dual LAN Ports
  • LAN 1: 100 Mbps
  • LAN 2: 1000 Mbps + PoE
• 3.5mm Line Audio Output
• USB 3.0 ports (camera, speakerphone, touch)
• Rear USB-C (dongle pairing)
• RS-232 control
• Reset button (factory default)
• DC power input
• Kensington lock

4. Power & Video Connection

Power Options

• External Power Adapter
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) via LAN Port 2 (PoE-capable switch required)

Once powered, the Connexio boots automatically. Use the front power button for manual on/off.

Display Connection

1. Connect HDMI output to a TV or projector
2. Power on the display
3. The Connexio Home Screen will appear automatically

5. Network Setup (Recommended)

While Connexio can operate without a network, connecting it to LAN enables:

• Easier device discovery
• Web-based management
• Firmware updates (OTA)
• Enterprise network integration

LAN Connection

1. Connect Ethernet cable to LAN port
2. Once connected, the Home Screen displays:
   • Assigned LAN IP address
   • Wi-Fi status

If LAN IP shows “N/A”, the device is not connected or failed DHCP assignment.

6. Accessing the Web Interface

1. From a computer on the same network, enter the Connexio’s LAN IP in a browser
2. The landing page provides:
   • Windows & macOS sharing software
   • User manual downloads
3. Click Settings
   • Username: admin
   • Password: admin

From here, administrators can:

• Rename the device (SSID)
• Configure network settings
• Change security levels
• Perform firmware updates
• Factory reset the unit

7. Wireless Screen Sharing

Windows / macOS

1. Download and install Connexio software
2. Launch the application
3. Select the Connexio device ID
4. Enter the on-screen password
5. Click Ready to Share

Sharing begins instantly.
To stop sharing, click Stop Sharing.

iOS (iPhone / iPad)

1. Connect to the same network (or Connexio hotspot)
2. Open Control Center
3. Tap Screen Mirroring
4. Select the Connexio device ID

Android

1. Download WirelessMedia2 from Google Play
2. Connect via:
   • Connexio Hotspot, or
   • Same LAN network
3. Select the Connexio device and share

8. Audio & Video Peripherals

Supported USB Devices

• USB cameras
• USB speakerphones (mic + speaker combined)
• Touch displays
• USB mouse

Important Limitations

• Separate microphones and speakers are not supported
• Speakerphones must include both mic and speaker
• Webcam-only devices will provide video only

Audio Output

• Audio is transmitted with video
• Output simultaneously via:
  • HDMI
  • 3.5mm line out

If audio is missing:

• Ensure LED is solid GREEN or CYAN
• Confirm Connexio is selected as the audio output device
• Check volume levels

9. USB Touch & Whiteboard Functions

• Connect touch interface USB cable to the presenting laptop
• Supported features:
  • Whiteboard
  • Annotations
  • Mouse/touch control during presentations

10. Pairing Optional USB-C Dongles

1. Insert dongle into front USB-A or USB-C
2. Wait for pairing message:
   • “Succeeded to pair!”
3. Remove dongle and connect to computer

After changing SSID, all dongles must be re-paired

11. Security Levels

Security levels (1–3) define:

• Who can control shared content
• Firmware upgrade permissions
• Annotation and whiteboard access

Levels are view-only on the Home Screen and configurable via the web interface.

12. Best Practices

• Keep firmware updated via LAN
• Place Connexio close to the display
• Avoid RF interference near antennas
• Use speakerphones instead of separate mic/speaker setups
• Connect to LAN for multi-user environments
