An AV profile template integrates NETGEAR proprietary settings, allowing you to optimize specific audio and video environments. You can use an AV profile template to create one or multiple network profiles. For example, you might use the same AV profile template to set up three network profiles for different areas at the same physical location: one network profile for the lobby, one for the theater, and one for the patio.
To ensure best results, always keep your Engage controller updated to the latest version and verify that your NETGEAR AV switches are running the most recent firmware.
The Engage controller offers a selection of preconfigured AV profile templates to streamline your setup process. After setting up your AV profiles, save your configuration using the button in the upper right corner of the controller. This step is crucial to preserve your settings after a reboot.
The controller and onboarded fully managed switches provide the following preconfigured AV profile templates:
