Preparing for the room system
Complete the tasks in the following check list before installing the room system’s hardware and
configuring its software.
Task
Several weeks before installing the room system’s hardware and configuring its software
Ensure you have all items documented in the
SMART Room System with Skype for Business installation and service
preparedness checklists
(
).
Ensure that your organization has implemented Lync 2013 or Skype for Business 2015 and that the Lync or Skype
for Business infrastructure is functioning.
Download and follow the instructions in the
Lync Room System Deployment Guide
(
microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=39274
).
This guide explains how to provision the Skype for Business account in the Lync or Skype for Business Server and
the Microsoft Exchange server.
Use a test computer to confirm that the Skype for Business account is functioning.
Determine if your Lync or Skype for Business infrastructure includes a key management service (KMS) server and if
the KMS server is configured to provide Lync 2013 or Skype for Business 2015 product keys.
A KMS server automatically provides a product key to the Skype for Business Room System software. If your Lync or
Skype for Business infrastructure doesn’t include a KMS server, you can use the multiple activation key (MAK), which
Microsoft provides during the software configuration.
Before installing the room system’s hardware
Review the information in the room system’s specifications and other online documentation to ensure the following:
l
The wall can support the weight of the room system.
l
You’re using the recommended hardware for the wall type.
Choose an appropriate location for the room system:
l
Do not install the room system in a location where a door or gate could hit it.
l
Do not install the room system in an area where it will be subjected to strong vibrations or dust.
l
Do not install the room system where the mains power supply enters the building.
l
Ensure adequate ventilation or provide air conditioning around the room system so that heat can flow away
from the unit and the mounting equipment.
l
If you mount the room system in a recessed area, leave at least 4" (10 cm) of space between the room system
and the recessed walls to enable ventilation and cooling.
l
Ensure the room lighting is adequate for the camera to capture video. To prevent participants from
appearing darkened or shadowed in video, ensure they aren’t backlit.
Install the room system so that its center aligns with the center of the meeting room table. This ensures the meeting
room table appears in the center of the camera’s field of view.
