The LED behavior is controlled by the scheduling partner. Single-Wire USB Power Power is supplied to the DSS-100 by a single USB cable. A 6 ft (1.83 m) USB-A to USB-C® cable is included with the device that connects to a USB power source. Wire saddles and tie wraps are also included to neatly route the cable from the power source to the device.

2. Additional subscriptions and/or licenses may be required. Refer to each partner’s website for details about the capabilities and requirements of its scheduling services. The DSS-100 supports only one partner at a time, which is selected using the XiO Cloud® service. Only the partners approved by Crestron are compatible with the DSS-100. The DSS-100 cannot be interfaced with a control system and cannot be custom programmed for any other functionality.
Page 8
NOTE: Support for additional partners will be made available via updates within the XiO Cloud service. All DSS-100 devices claimed to the XiO Cloud account will use the selected scheduling partner. Multiple scheduling partners are not supported within the same XiO Cloud account. Only scheduling partners approved by Crestron may be used with the DSS-100.

Isopropyl alcohol (70% minimum) is required for surface cleaning prior to installation. CAUTION: Observe the following points to ensure the DSS-100 properly bonds to the mounting surface. Failure to properly bond the DSS-100 to the mounting surface could cause the DSS-100 to detach after installation.
Page 14
Select a Mounting Location The DSS-100 can be mounted to the flat underside of a desk, table, or similar surface using the provided 3M™ Dual Lock™ fasteners. The front of the DSS-100 containing the placard extends out from under the desk.
Page 15
6. Route the USB-C™ connector end of the provided USB cable from the power source to the DSS-100 mounting location through the wire saddles. Each wire saddle provides a clip that can be opened to insert the cable. 7. (Optional) To reduce slack for shorter cable runs, use the provided tie wraps to bunch the excess cabling.
Page 16
NOTE: All air bubbles must be smoothed out and eliminated to ensure a complete bond to the surface. 8. Press the DSS-100, top-side up, to the mounting surface so that the two Dual Lock fasteners engage. An audible snap is heard when the Dual Lock fasteners engage successfully.
Page 17
9. Connect the USB-C connector to the rear of the DSS-100. The device LEDs breathe white if the DSS-100 is receiving power. Insert a Placard DSS-100 uses replaceable placards to indicate the desk name and to provide a QR code that can be scanned to reserve the desk.
Page 18
To insert a custom scheduling placard: 1. Remove the placard tray from the DSS-100 by grasping the lip on the either side of the tray and pulling it out from the device. 2. Remove the generic placard from the tray by sliding it upward.

Custom scheduling placards must be created for each reservable desk that is associated with a DSS-100. Each custom scheduling placard contains the name of the desk and a QR code that opens the schedule and reservation functions for that desk on a mobile device. Custom scheduling placards are generated through the third-party scheduling partner.
