How it works

BYOM mode button (INO – Host button)

Function: A simple button interface to activate BYOM mode (laptop hosts the meeting)

• Requirements:
  • Connected to the unit with a simple CAT cable (CAT cable not included).
  • By default, the button will configure the device to operate in BYOM mode.
• To activate BYOM mode (laptop host)
  • The laptop needs to be connected via the USB-C cable or USB-B + HDMI cables.
  • When the button is pressed, the button will illuminate, indicating the peripherals (cameras, audio or videobar) are connected to the laptop for a BYOM meeting hosted by the laptop. (Only because the button doesn’t actually connect the peripherals – TOGGLE ROOMS does).
  • By pressing the button again, BYOM to the laptop will be disabled and the host will return to the room PC as indicated by no illumination.
• User controls:
  • The button controls the device through GPI interface.
