First Time Set-up with the GroupSTATION
The GroupSTATION is easy to install and operate with typical installations taking less than an hour. The
GroupSTATION 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 and connects the Camera/Sound Bar to the MicDock
residing 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
GroupSTATION. The final step is to log-on to the GroupSTATION 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 GroupSTATION.
