  1. Turn on projector using DATA remote; select "Input D"
  2. Turn on Video Conference box using CONF remote
  3. Ensure amplifier has correct input (TV HDMI); change volume levels using the amp only (if they are calling you, you're done...relax...but see below)
  4. Select "Connect", enter their IP address on the appropriate page (you must select "END" after entering their IP number to enable the "Connect" button)
  5. Once the connection has been established, change display options (PIP, side-by-side) using the "Display" button; to show laptop output, use the "Presentation" button
  • Our system auto-answers, but for privacy the microphones are disabled by default; once connection has been established, toggle the local microphones on/off using the "MIC" button (an icon will appear in the top/left corner of the screen when disabled)
  • When finished, disconnect remote session and shutdown system into STANDBY mode; do not select "POWER OFF" as a powered down system cannot be turned on with the remote
  • The IP address of our system is: 136.159.7.73
