Setting up Zoapi Hub is very simple. All it requires is a display, power source, and a network source preferably with the internet. But sometimes it might be a little tricky to set up a new device on heavily guarded corporate networks with firewalls and network rules. In this article, we explain all the network requirements from Zoapi.

Notes: #
- Besides the internet ports mentioned above, Zoapi Hub will not try to make any outgoing connections.
- However, Video Conferencing applications will have their own firewall requirements. Please review the firewall requirements as described in the app provider’s documentation.
- Hub will route traffic from Wi-Fi access point through it. The traffic routing is from Wi-Fi access point to Ethernet/Wi-Fi link
- To filter internet access rights, filter outgoing routes from the Zoapi Hub device
- You can also set the WAN settings of Wi-Fi access point to disabled to block complete internet access over Wi-Fi access point
- Network isolation
- The Wi-Fi link and the Ethernet link are isolated: However, client Devices will continue to be able to screen share from both networks. You can also connect another isolated Ethernet network using a USB to Ethernet converter.
