Terminal management

There are several ways to control the endpoint:

• In meeting room:

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

  • desktop tablet.

• Remotely:

  • web interface, accessible to the administrator via the local network.

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

Home Screen

Immediately after turning on, the main screen of TrueConf Group should appear, containing:

1. Upcoming scheduled events (4 items). Each event displays: time, platform (TrueConf Server or TrueConf MCU), title, number of participants, owner's name, protocol, and connection address. To join, simply click the Connect button. To display event cards, the administrator must configure the integration.

2. Current date and time.

3. Main sections of the terminal menu:

   • Contacts – address book;

   • Presentation – the presentation menu where you can view 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 if connected successfully or the message Network unavailable otherwise), as well as the notification panel with information:

• about the system name;

• regarding registration on the SIP server (configured by the administrator in the protocol settings) – if successful, the terminal name on the SIP server will be displayed, for example, SIP: meeting-room; otherwise, an error code will be shown, 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. The image from your camera. By selecting this window using the arrow keys on the remote control (the window will be highlighted with a white frame) and pressing OK, a screen will open where you can:

• control your camera position;

• select a view;

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

• go to recordings and streaming.

6. Equipment status control buttons:

– turn off the camera selected as the primary;

– mute terminal;

– selecting the PTZ camera angle.

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

To select an item from the dropdown list or start typing text, you also need to move the focus to the corresponding element and press OK.

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