It uses a wireless router and Intranet network for communication that does not require a public Internet.  When installed in Windows based PC, the Server program can also work independently of any karaoke player to import a song list (such as one from a third party karaoke player) and communicate with hand-held devices. Each of the Server program can simultaneously connect up to 256 hand-held devices.

Client program (CAVS RS II) is installed in the hand held devices.

• For E-Songbooks, the Client program comes pre-installed and has three selectable privilege levels to communicate with the karaoke player / PC through the Server program. 
• For iPhone and iPad, the Client program (App) is free to download from Apple App Store. It has two selectable privilege levels to communicate with the karaoke player / PC through the Server program.
