2. Power on the zero client and the connected displays.

3. Ensure the zero client is on the same network as the host card.

4. Wait until the “Connect” dialog appears on screen.

5. Select “Connect” and you will see the message “Discovering hosts, please wait…”.

6. A list of available hosts is displayed.

7. Select the host card you wish to connect to and click “OK”.
