About your room system

Your room system features one or two SMART Board® interactive flat panels, a Lync appliance, a
tabletop console, a high-definition camera, microphones, speakers and cables for use with an
optional computer.
Using the installed Lync Room System software, users can start a meeting and connect with other
individuals or meeting rooms with a single tap on the console or the interactive flat panels. They
can write or draw on the interactive flat panels using the whiteboard feature, connect an optional
computer to share its screen and share files with connected individuals and meeting rooms in real
time.

Features

Your room system includes the following features.

Integration with Lync

The SMART Room System integrates with your organization's existing Lync infrastructure, enabling
users to schedule meetings, remotely join meetings, and share Microsoft PowerPoint® files using
the Lync client software already installed on their computers.

Simple startup

After the room system turns on, the console and the interactive flat panels show the meeting
room's schedule, including when the meeting room is booked and when it's available. Users can
start a scheduled meeting by pressing the meeting's block in the schedule on either the console or
the interactive flat panels. Lync Room System software enables users to connect to remote
participants and shares video and audio.
