Terminal Management

There are several ways to control the endpoint:

• In meeting room:

  • remote control (IR receiver is installed 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 it on, the main screen of TrueConf Group should appear, displaying:

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

2. Current time and date.

3. Main sections of the terminal menu:

   • Contacts – address book;

   • Presentation – 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 if the connection is successful, or the message Network unavailable otherwise), as well as a 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, such as SIP: 401 Unauthorized;

• about registration on an H.323 gatekeeper (configured by the administrator in 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, for example, 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 to open a screen where you can:

• control your camera position;

• select a view angle;

• go to recordings and streams.

6. Equipment status control buttons:

– disable the camera selected as the main one;

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 an item from the dropdown list or start entering text, you also need to move the focus to the appropriate element and press OK.
