Before You Start
1.
Ensure all the panels have been mounted and are connected to the network.
2.
Ensure you know whether Ad Astra, CollegeNet 25Live, EMS ,
Google Calendar, Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, or Rendezvous by NFS is to be the
calendar server and the network location of the server.
3.
Ensure that you know the IP addresses of all the panels in the system (especially those
that are not on the same subnet as the control PC).
4.
Ensure that you know the passwords for all the panels.
NOTES:
•
The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been
set to the device serial number. Passwords can be changed during panel
configuration and are case sensitive.
•
If the device is reset to default settings, the password is the default password
configuration. The default password is
extron
(for either
admin
or
user
accounts).
Overview
1.
Start the Room Agent software as an administrator (see Start the Program on page 15).
2.
Discover any panels that are on the same subnet as the computer running Room Agent
software (see Automatically Discover Panels on page 16).
3.
Manually add any panels from a different subnet than the computer that is running
Room Agent software (see Manually Add Panels beginning on page 16).
4.
Perform the following for each panel in the system:
a.
Connect to the panel (see Connect to the panel on page 18).
b.
Verify or change settings (internet variables and password) on the Communication
Settings tab (see Communication Settings window on page 19).
NOTE:
If you change any settings but the Hostname, the panel disconnects
and you must rediscover or manually find it again. A better approach is to set
these values ahead of time using the on-screen menus of the panel (visit www.
extron.com and see the applicable panel user guides).
