Configuring Dual Avaya Video Micpod 1000S - Avaya 1050 Installation Manual

Configuring Dual Avaya Video MicPod 1000s

If you are using dual Avaya Video MicPod 1000s, you can use the splitter cable to connect a
combination of extension cables and two Avaya Video MicPod 1000s to the single Avaya
Video MicPod 1000 port on your Avaya codec for maximum omnidirectional audio coverage
in large conference rooms.
Dual Avaya Video MicPod 1000 configurations are limited to two Avaya Video MicPod 1000s
and one splitter cable. (You cannot use multiple splitters to connect to more than two Avaya
Video MicPod 1000s.) However, you can use variations on three configurations of extension
cables:
• If you connect the male end of the splitter directly to the codec, you can use none, or
one extension cable to connect an Avaya Video MicPod 1000 to each of the female
ends of the splitter.
• If you use one extension cable to connect the codec to the splitter, you can use none, or
one extension cable to connect an Avaya Video MicPod 1000 to each of the female
ends of the splitter.
• If you use two extension cables to connect the codec to the splitter, you must connect
both Avaya Video MicPod 1000s directly to the female ends of the splitter.
If the Avaya Video MicPod 1000s are installed in an area where the cord could be pulled or
tripped upon, refer to "Attaching the Avaya Video MicPod 1000 Strain Relief Clip" on
page 22.
Warning: Tripping on the cord can cause personal injury as well as permanent
damage to the Avaya Video MicPod 1000 cord connector and the connector in the
codec. Avaya recommends that you use the cable strain relief clip included in the Avaya
Video MicPod 1000 product box as described in "Attaching the Avaya Video MicPod
1000 Strain Relief Clip" on page 22.
An Avaya codec detects any splitter or cable attached to the microphone input of the codec
as an Avaya Video MicPod 1000. If an Avaya Video MicPod 1000 is not attached to the
extension or splitter cable and the microphone input is selected as the active microphone,
no audio is available. The No Active Microphone indicator does not appear in the status bar
and the Active Microphone field in the System Information page reports Microphone In as
the active microphone.
