How to Install Webex Room 55

• Prepare the room: Choose a location with unobstructed sightlines for participants and a stable power source. Ensure there is adequate ventilation and an organized cable management plan to keep the setup clean and accessible.
• Establish network connectivity: Connect both RJ-45 network ports to your wired network to enable reliable access to Webex cloud services and to support failover or traffic segmentation as needed. If your network supports VLANs or QoS, configure the appropriate settings to prioritize video and audio traffic for optimal performance.
• Connect displays and sources: Attach the room’s displays via the HDMI output and connect laptops or content devices to the two HDMI inputs. If you have multiple presentation sources, use the HDMI In ports to switch between inputs during a meeting without cable swapping.
• Integrate audio gear: Connect microphones and speakers to the Audio Line In and any other supported audio pathways on the device. Ensure the room’s acoustics are optimized to minimize echo and ambient noise, and perform a test call to calibrate audio pickup and playback levels.
• Power up and configure: Turn on the system and complete the initial setup. Register the room device with your Webex account or cloud service, configure network settings (IP, DNS, gateway), and verify that video, audio, and content-sharing functions work as expected. Update firmware if prompted to ensure you have the latest features and security updates.
