Terminal Management

Connection Diagram

Connect the power cable, network interface, monitor and audio output devices (headphones, speakers or output audio via HDMI to a monitor with built-in speakers) to your video conferencing endpoint.

For models TrueConf Videobar 010 and TrueConf Videobar 015: if you need to output audio via HDMI, use output HDMI out 2, as HDMI out 1 does not support audio streaming.

You can also connect the following devices:

  • Additional monitor

  • External webcam and microphone

  • content output device (for model TrueConf Videobar 015 and TrueConf Videobar 025).

TrueConf Videobar 010/015 Remote Control

You can manage your endpoint using the remote control powered by two AAA batteries (included in the package). It uses a 2.4 GHz band that helps enhance the control range and usability as compared to IR remotes.

Controlling multiple terminals with a single remote

Only for models 010 and 015.

By using multiple TrueConf Videobar terminals, you can configure their management simultaneously from a single control panel. To do this, you need to pair the control panel with each device as follows:

  1. Press and hold the OK key and the "asterisk" key on the remote control at the same time – the LED on the remote will start flashing after 3 seconds.

  2. Release the buttons — the LED will keep blinking.

  3. Turn on the endpoint.

  4. If the binding is successful, the LED will be coming on for 2 seconds and then turn off. Otherwise, if there is a pairing error, the LED will be quickly blinking for 20 seconds and then will be slowly blinking for 3 seconds. After that, the remote control will go into sleep mode.

To unpair the remote from TrueConf Videobar:

  1. Turn on the endpoint.

  2. Press and hold the OK and "hash" buttons on the remote control simultaneously for 3 seconds—the LED on the remote will start blinking.

  3. Release the remote control buttons — the LED will turn off, while the device will be unbound. Otherwise, if there is an error, the LED will be blinking for 20 seconds, while the remote control will go into sleep mode.
