Initial startup and logging in:

Touch the “Crestron” panel if it isn’t currently ‘on’ – once touched you will be presented with the following screen:

Select the black ‘Touch here to start audio visual system’ button.  Do not select the red button to start ‘Video Conference Mode.’

After the AV system has started up you should see the following screen:

Make sure the screen looks just like the image (laptop selected for both projectors and laptop audio selected and not muted).

To use the system with the desktop, make sure both projectors are set to use PC.  To use the system with the laptop, make sure both projectors are set to use the laptop.

If the laptop is not powered on, turn it on and select the account BME2001 (there is no password on that account).

You should now be able to proceed with making a presentation.

Hosting a Webex session:

On the desktop there is an icon for “Cisco Webex Meetings” – launch a webex session via that icon.

Once clicked a web page will open up. 

 

Webex login prompt

Enter your Purdue email address.  Click Next.

You will then need to log in with your Career account using 2-factor authentication.

Once logged in you should click the link to “Start meeting”

A WebEx session will launch and you will be given a preview window showing the webcam footage.

On the Bottom right hand side, you will find the settings options.  You will want to make sure to have the system set to use the following settings:

Audio:   Crestron Media

Microphone:  USB microphone

Camera:   PTZ pro 2

 

You will want to use the same settings for Zoom and Microsoft Teams.

Your Webex room will now be open and others should be able to join.  The link to give others to join will be in the format https://purdue.webex.com/meet/careeraccount (replace ‘careeraccount’ with your Purdue login).

The controls should be straightforward – below is a cheat sheet – hovering your mouse over each control lets you know what it does as well.

laptop with labeled connections for power and hdmi

laptop with labeled connections for speaker, camera, and mouse.
