Setting up GrapeSEED Nexus

Nexus Hardware Requirements

The four main hardware components that are linked with GS Nexus are:

A supported tablet (see requirements below)
An HDMI enable display device
A Google Chromecast (3rd Gen or newer)
A Wi-Fi connection

These are the minimum supported devices. Newer iPads or newer Samsung Galaxy Tabs are also supported.

Apple iPad 8th & 9th generation (2020 or newer)
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 (2020 or newer)

The Chromecast device can be set up completely independently of the Nexus app. It is strongly recommended to set up your Chromecast first and ensure you can cast content from your device prior to trying to use Nexus.

Minimum OS Requirement

The minimum OS versions to download and install Nexus are:

Android OS version 5.0 or later
iOS version 12.4 or later

Chromcast Setup

You need a basic WiFi network environment with the tablet and a remote display.

Chromecast setup is very well documented by Google on their support website: Chromecast Setup from Google Support. They have OS-specific, step-by-step instructions, as well as an interactive guide: Chromecast Setup Interactive Guide.

You will require a router (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac 2.4G or 5GHz) and an internet connection to run GS Nexus on your devices.

Find Your ChromeCast

You can also check the compatibility between the Nexus app and the device. On the login page, click the link "Find your Chromecast". A pop up will open showing scanned devices around the tab. You can tap on it to start casting. If casting works well, you will see the below screen with a message indicating the successful connection.

How to Install Nexus on a Device

Visit the Google Play store or iOS App Store and search for GrapeSEED Nexus to download the app on your tablet.

To login to Nexus, you are required to enter your GrapeSEED Portal username and password. If you enter an incorrect password or the entered username is not registered then you will be notified with a message. If you are unable to login, you may need to request Nexus access from your School and GrapeSEED representative.

On successful login, you will be redirected to the Home screen of Nexus. Here, you will see your classes, the unit, lesson, school, and campus.

All the users except Parents can use Nexus.

How to Logout from Nexus

Click on the "Logout" button on the top-right corner of the home screen to logout from GS Nexus. You will be redirected to the login screen.

You can also log out from the Settings page.
