Aside from connecting to your Wi-Fi network, each Joan device needs to connect to a Visionect Software Suite (VSS) server in order to operate and interact with your calendar.
There are two hosting options for this server:
Cloud server
At the moment, the VSS servers are available in the following locations worldwide:
- Brussels, Belgium (Europe) x2
- Oregon, United States of America (West US)
- South Carolina, United States of America (East US) x2
- Hong Kong (Asia)
By default, the nearest server to you will be chosen. However, you may select a different location of the server, but this might result in some decrease in performance.
You can change the selected server by following these steps:
- Run the Joan Configurator
- If you are using Windows or macOS, simply run the file.
- If you are using Linux, follow these steps:
- Open the Terminal
- Navigate to the destination folder where you downloaded the file. For example
cd Downloads
- Run the Joan Configurator as a superuser with the following command
sudo ./JoanConfigurator_linux
- Connect the Joan device to your computer with the provided Micro USB cable
- Once connected, click the “Configure” button in the bottom-right corner of the window
- Click “More options”
- Under the “JOAN HOSTING” section, select your desired server
- Click “Save”
Example:
On-premises server
If you opted to host your own VSS server instead, the connection process is very similar to connecting to a Cloud server.
- Run the Joan Configurator
- If you are using Windows or macOS, simply run the file.
- If you are using Linux, follow these steps:
- Open the Terminal
- Navigate to the destination folder where you downloaded the file. For example
cd Downloads
- Run the Joan Configurator as a superuser with the following command
sudo ./JoanConfigurator_linux
- Connect the Joan device to your computer with the provided Micro USB cable
- Once connected, click the “Configure” button in the bottom-right corner of the window
- Click “More options”
- Under the “JOAN HOSTING” section, select your “On-premises hosting”
- Enter the IP address of your on-premises server
- Click “Save”

And that’s it!
