Step 4: Connecting the Huddle Dock
Flip the Huddle Dock upside down to expose connectors and the connector labels. Connect the LINK Cable
(provided Cat-6 SSTP with individually shielded pairs) originating from the Camera/Sound Bar with the connector
marked in red. Power is supplied to the Dock with the LINK cable. Video, audio, and control between the two
devices will be established automatically.
Note:
Please do not plug the LINK cable into the Network RJ-45, incorrect termination is not typically a
good thing, especially when power is involved.

The order of the connections is as follows:
1) LINK Connection:
As pointed out a few times already, connection of the LINK cable between the
Camera/Sound Bar and the Huddle Dock should be made prior to plugging the 24 VDC power supply’s AC
power cord into the wall outlet. The LINK cable provides power to the MicPOD and automatically establishes
video, audio, communication and control between the two devices.
2)
All of the rest of the connections (from left to right), are hot pluggable once the LINK cable is connected on both
sides and the power is applied.
Step 5: Docking the PC to Huddle Dock
