Terminal Management

There are several ways to control the endpoint:

• In meeting room:

  • remote control (the IR receiver is located at the front of the device);

  • desktop tablet.

• Remotely:

  • web interface accessible to the administrator over the local network.

The remote control is powered by two AAA batteries (included in the package).

Home Screen

Immediately after powering on, the main screen of TrueConf Group should be displayed, containing:

1. Upcoming scheduled events (4 items). For each event, the following details are displayed: time, platform (TrueConf Server or TrueConf MCU), name, number of participants, owner’s name, protocol, and connection address. To connect, simply click the Connect button. The administrator must configure integration to display the event cards.

2. Current date and time.

3. Main sections of the terminal menu:

   • Contacts – address book;

   • Presentation is the presentation menu where you can view them and add network sources (NDI, RTSP, VNC).

   • Calendar – a calendar with scheduled events;

   • Settings - user terminal settings.

4. The status of the local network connection (the terminal's IP address when successfully connected, or the message Network unavailable otherwise), as well as the notification panel with information:

• about the system name;

• about SIP server registration (configured by the administrator in the protocol settings) – if successful, the terminal name on the SIP server will be indicated, for example, SIP: meeting-room; otherwise, an error code will be displayed, for example, SIP: 401 Unauthorized;

• about registration on the H.323 gatekeeper (configured by the administrator in the protocol settings) – if successful, the terminal name on the H.323 gatekeeper will be displayed, for example, H323: meeting-room; otherwise, an error code will be shown, such as H323: TransportError.

5. Image from your camera. After selecting this window using the arrow keys on the remote (the window will be highlighted with a white frame), press OK, which will open a screen where you can:

• control the position of your camera;

• select a view;

• create a view;

• manage devices: select resolution, PTZ protocol, and other parameters;

• go to recordings and streams.

6. Equipment status control buttons:

– turn off the camera selected as the primary one;

– turn off the microphone;

– mute the terminal;

– PTZ camera angle selection.

To navigate to a component (button or section) of the main menu, use the arrow keys on the remote control to select it (the window will be highlighted with a white frame) and press OK.

To select a dropdown list item or start entering text, you should also move the focus to the corresponding element and press OK.

To enter text, you can also use the on-screen keyboard. To display the on-screen keyboard, focus on the field and press the OK button on the remote control.

Tablet screen

The tablet interface offers a highly convenient and fast way to interact with the terminal. It allows you to control the progress of the conference and settings of TrueConf Group. Instructions on how to connect the tablet can be found in the relevant section of the administrator's documentation.

To manage peripherals, tap at the bottom of the tablet screen. In the area that appears, you will have access to:

  • Quick number – assign to one of the dial numbers, from 0 to 9.

  • Preview – a toggle responsible for enabling or disabling the preview.

• Verify the entered values and click Save.

The created view will appear in the list, and by clicking on it, you can:

• Rename the view in the Name field.

• Change the speed dial number in the Quick number dropdown list.

• Change preview availability.

• Save the changes made.

• Delete the angle with no possibility of recovery.

During the call, you have access to the following controls:
