It is possible to run Resonite sessions over a Local Area Network(LAN). This guide will tell you how to do this and also provide some tips and ideal scenarios where you might want to do this.

Suitable Scenarios

Running a LAN session is suitable for a number of scenarios:

  • Conferences & Conventions
  • Educational uses
  • Research

Session Setup

To run a Resonite Session as a LAN only session, simply select this option when creating a session in the "Access Level" option.

Screenshot showing LAN option in Session Access List

When a session is created with this option selected it will only be accessible to users in the same LAN as the Session Host.

Network Setup

A simplified example LAN network setup is shown below.

In this example setup, when the Host(192.168.1.2), creates a session with the LAN option selected. Only Clients on the network(192.168.1.*) will be able to connect to the session.

Complex Networks

In larger networks, such as those found in businesses, educational establishments etc. may appear to have users on the same LAN but could actually be on separate unreachable networks.

To learn more you should contact a Network Administrator on your large/complex network, to understand if a LAN session is compatible with the network.

Items such as:

  • Firewalls
  • VLANs
  • Proxies
  • etc.

May affect the ability to connect to LAN Sessions
