Network Requirements and Information
For the HuddleSTATION and room PC, three (3) IP addresses are required; one (1) for HuddleSTATION UC&C
conferencing, one (1) for HuddleSTATION VoIP conferencing and one (1) for the in-room PC used with the UC&C
conferencing application. The courtesy network jack on the Huddle Dock can be used by the room PC, or any other
network jack in the room that is on the same network as the HuddleSTATION can be used.
It is very important from
to work with the IT professionals at the place of installation to get the IP addresses, the required VoIP information
(see the worksheet) and the network jack required to install and operate each HuddleSTATION.
Accessing the HuddleSTATION Web Pages
The HuddleSTATION has an embedded web server used for set-up and configuration.
These internal webpages can be directly accessed by navigating to the URL with
standard browsers. The software defaults to DHCP and will attempt to dynamically
obtain an IP address using DHCP when connected to a network, but it will fall back to
the default address of (169.254.1.1) if no DHCP server can be found. Notes for both
DHCP and Static configurations are provided below:
DHCP IP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Skip this section if Static IP is used. If the LAN is using DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server, then
the IP address, gateway and routing information will automatically be assigned. The HuddleSTATION software
defaults to DHCP and will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using DHCP, but it will fall back to the default
address of (169.254.1.1) if no DHCP server can be found.
Static IP Set-up:
The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to a computer using a cross-over cable.
Depending on the age of the computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same
for network or direct connection to a computer. The default address of the HuddleSTATION Camera/Sound Bar
again is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different computer OS types all have their own way of
doing things (without question), but they are essentially doing the same stuff, changing the IP address so the web
pages of the device are accessible. Using the same subnet, use 169.254.1.2 (+1 method) and browser into
169.254.1.1 to get to the webpages for setup. Then change the address to the scheme required by the end user.
HuddleSTATION Web Page Tour
Screen Shot: Login
Once the address is assigned, the first page to be displayed is the LOGIN page. This login is really an
administrator’s login. The default username is ‘admin’ and the default password is ‘password’. These names and
passwords can be changed in the security section.
Default Settings:
Admin name is: admin
Password is: password
