MAWi platform consists of a single ‘MAWi Server’ installation, that can control multiple ‘MAWi Client’ instances.
MAWi Server runs an IIS Web app and a database that is running over MS SQL Server.
Watch this video for a full installation process of MAWi Server or read this section on our complete installation guide.
Please note:
In case you have just a single site you can choose to install both, MAWi Server and MAWi Client, on the same PC or virtual machine.
Windows® 10 64bit PRO or Enterprise, Server 2012 R2, Server 2016, Server 2019
The MAWi Server can be installed on a PC or a VM and can also reside on the same machine with MAWi Client.
Intel Dual Core or AMD with similar capabilities. Core i5 of the latest generation is recommended.
If used on a virtual machine, assign at least 2 vCores.
At least 4GB.
Gigabit Ethernet network is recommended.
Communication with the server-side is done over port 60668
Communication with the client-side is done over port 60669
Those ports can be changed.
Static IP is recommended.

2. In case you’ve installed MAWi Server on Windows10 OS, IIS Express is also installed and its console must run in the background at all times. Do not close this window.
MAWi Client can be either installed on a PC or a virtual machine, connected to a single display or multiple displays.
Watch this video for a full installation process of MAWi Client or read this section on our complete installation guide.
Please note:
In case you have just a single site you can choose to install both, MAWi Server and MAWi Client, on the same PC or virtual machine.
Windows® 10 32/64bit, Server 2012/16/19
MAWi Client can run on a PC or a virtual machine (VM) that is connected to one or more monitors
The monitors can be connected directly or via a multi-display video card, LAN-based zero clients, Android-based devices or USB to HDMI adapters.
Intel Dual Core or AMD with similar capabilities. Core i5 or Core i7, the latest generation is usually recommended.
For Video Walls we would recommend using a standard Core i7, latest generation.
In addition, for better performance, we would recommend adding a single graphic display adaptor from NVIDIA or AMD,
which will off-load the CPU’s graphic processor. Read more here
Gigabit Ethernet network is recommended for the connection between the zero clients and host PC. The host PC can connect to the server via wifi.
MAWi Client Connects over the default port no. 60668 to MAWi Server. This port number can be changed.
During the installation process, the installer will download the following components from the Internet:
– VLC Media Playe v3
– PowerPoint Viewer
MAWi TC utilizes Thin Clients as the endpoints that connect to the screens. Multiple thin clients can be installed in different sites, and connected to a Terminal Server that runs MAWi Client.
In this guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up and configuring your Terminal Server to work with the MAWi platform.
