# 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);

    • USB keyboard

    • desktop tablet.

  • Remotely:

    • web interface, accessible to the administrator over the local network;

    • The Android app TrueConf Discovery can be requested from the technical support of TrueConf for the latest version of the apk file.

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

# Home Screen
