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).

Immediately after turning it on, the main screen should appear on the TrueConf Group, displaying:

1. Upcoming scheduled events (4 items). Each displays the event 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 set up integration to display the event cards.

2. Current time and date.
