Preparing for Installation
As you prepare to install Avaya 1010/1020, consider the physical conditions of the room,
compatibility with displays, and your network configuration and settings. Avaya recommends
you collect your network settings and system identification information before you begin
installation. Refer to "Initial Configuration" on page 6.
Room Configuration
The size, shape, layout, and occupancy of the room dictate where you place your video
conferencing components. For example, in a small office installation, Avaya Video Camera
100 can be placed at one end or corner of the room, as its beam forming microphone array
cancels echo from wall reflections behind it and detects clear sound up to 2.7 meters (9 feet)
in front of it. However, in a multi-user conference room, an Avaya Video MicPod 1000 should
be placed in the middle of the participants as its sound detection pattern is omnidirectional
with a radius of 3 meters (10 feet).
Warning:
Avoid routing cables from the codec across foot-traffic areas as tripping on
the cables can cause both personal injury and permanent damage to the connectors in
the cables and the codec itself. If cables must cross foot-traffic areas, use some form of
cable management system or strategy to lessen the possibility of tripping.
The lighting in your environment affects image quality. The optimal lighting for Avaya
systems is 300 to 500 LUX. If light levels are too low, consider adding artificial lighting.
Indirect light from shaded sources or reflected light from pale walls often produces excellent
results. Avoid the following:
•
direct sunlight on the subject matter, the background, or the camera lens
•
direct illumination of the subject matter and camera lens
•
colored lighting
•
harsh side lighting or strong light from above
Consult your administrator for specific lighting requirements for your environment.
