First Time Set-up with the HuddleSTATION 

The HuddleSTATION is easy to install and operate with typical installations taking less than an hour.  The 
HuddleSTATION Camera/Sound Bar is positioned above or below a room’s LCD display.  There is a premium 
wall mount bracket available in certain system packages or it can be purchased separately.  Power, Network, 
HDMI output to room monitor and the LINK cable are connected to the Camera/Sound Bar.  A single 25’ (7.62m) 
Cat-6 SSTP LINK cable, with individually shielded pairs, is provided to connect the Camera/Sound Bar to the 
MicDock on the conference room table.  Next, a PC’s media interfaces are connected to the MicPOD Dock.  This 
includes connecting USB 2.0, RGBHV or HDMI and Ethernet.  This completes the physical installation of the 
HuddleSTATION.  The final step is to log-on to the HuddleSTATION web pages to complete the VoIP 
configuration of the device.  A diagram of the system connection is depicted below.   
 
Once installed, users will be able to conduct Unified Communications (UC) sessions, VoIP Teleconferencing, or 
local presentations with the HuddleSTATION.
