Step by step
-
Place it and connect the network. Put it within reach on the desk or wall mount, and connect it to a PoE network port (or use the power adapter if your switch has no PoE).
-
Connect power and cables. Connect the power adapter (or a PoE port, if you'd rather run one cable). Then connect the cables your setup needs (Network: Gigabit Ethernet, PoE IEEE 802.3af (Class 0)). Use the cables in the box first; long runs may need the manufacturer's extender.
-
Sign in. Follow the on-screen setup to choose the platform and sign in with the room's or user's account, or let your provisioning server configure it.
-
Update the firmware. Update to the latest firmware before you go live. See Updating the firmware below.
-
Run a test call. Join a test meeting, talk from the farthest seat, and ask the far end whether you're clear, at a good level and without echo.
Updating the firmware
Update to the latest firmware before you go live, using the manufacturer's app or the device's settings.
