1.3 About the Base Unit

Base Unit functionality

The Base Unit receives the wireless input from the Buttons and controls the content of the meeting room display and the peripherals connected to the Base Unit (speakers, microphones, webcam and soundbar). Furthermore, it will send out the content from the camera and/or the speakerphone towards the Button.

The Base Unit can be inside a cabinet in the meeting room, or put on the meeting room table or mounted on a wall. Check the Installation Guide for instructions on how to install the Base Unit.
