VIP Virtual Panels

VIP server provides a user interface similar to the Infinity Dashboard software available for the hardware panels. It operates on any HTML5-compliant browser and uses the host device microphone and loudspeaker for audio connectivity.

The IP address and licensing configuration are provided during the Docker configuration as detailed in the Docker and Containers section.

To use the virtual panel, enter the allocated IP address into the browser's address bar and the following window will appear. Enter “user” for the username and leave the password field blank.
