Prerequisites

Note: Wizyconf Station is available as HWaaS only. Wizyconf Stand is optional and free of charge.

Wizyconf Station can be found by the following codes in Salesforce Partner Community: 

  • With stand:  R-With-Stand-Wizyconf-1m/1y/5y

  • Without stand: R-Without-Stand-Wizyconf-1m/1y/5y

Wizyconf Room license is automatically added to the PBX with the Wizyconf Station purchase.

Refer to the Wizyconf Installation Documentation to connect all the components to the Wizyconf Core and install the Wizyconf Stand if you ordered it.

  • Before you start, make sure you update WMS to the latest stable version (rel60/ rel50)

  • To use Wizyconf, you need to create a new user in WMS -> Users and assign the License type "Wizyconf Room" (license is added to PBX automatically with Wizyconf Station purchase):

Provisioning and configuration

Starting from Wizyconf App v. 1.1.2 there is a possibility to re-provision the device to a different PBX. Follow the steps from How to re-provision Wizyconf to a different PBX to complete the procedure.

Provisioning

Prerequisite: you must have an available Wizyconf which you had previously ordered and had it shipped to you.

For instructions, check out the document Assign Devices to Customer PBX via Salesforce Partner Community

Important: After Wizyconf is provisioned, its status in WMS -> Devices stays grey, no IP and firmware version is indicated. The password is used by Wizyconf for PBX authentication. Ongoing upgrade procedures are not displayed in WMS.

Assign Wizyconf to user

Note: Wizyconf Station is available as HWaaS only and Wizyconf Room license is automatically added with Wizyconf Station purchase. 

  • Go to WMS -> Devices

  • Select Wizyconf and click Assign to user 

  • Choose a user and click Save

Note: Once the user is assigned, it is impossible to delete it, you can just re-assign Wizyconf to another user. After re-assigning, turn on/ off Wizyconf via Power key on Wizyconf Core.

Important: 1 Wizyconf user can only be used with 1 Wizyconf. You cannot assign it to another Wizyconf.

Remote control overview 

Make sure you have inserted the dongle of the Wizyconf Remote into the Wizyconf Core, as described in the document.

Optionally you can use a keyboard and a mouse to control the conference. 

  • Power on/ off: turn on/ turn off Wizyconf Core

  • Cursor control: press the button and use the Navigation keys to control the cursor

  • Volume up/ down: adjust the volume level

  • Navigation keys Up/ Down/ Right/ Left: navigate between different menu options; rotate PTZ cam (Up/ Down/ Right/ Left), change focus of 4K cam (first press the key Camera Control)

  • Back key: go back to the previous page

  • Camera options: press the key once to switch between the following states: Camera off/ Switch to 4K camera/ Switch to PTZ camera/ Switch to the next camera (if available)

  • LED Indicator: blinks red when you press any key; no blink means there is no connection (check that the USB dongle is installed correctly or move closer to the Wizyconf Core) or the battery of the remote control is down

  • Camera control: press the key to be able to activate auto tracking mode for the PTZ cam and auto framing mode for the 4K cam. Check Camera controls for details

  • Camera zoom in/ out: adjust the zoom of the PTZ cam

  • Mute on/ off: mute/ unmute your microphone

  • Central Navigation key: confirm different operations

  • Home key: press to leave the conference 

  • Micro-USB interface: connect the charging adapter to charge the remote control unit

The upgrade

Prerequisites:

  • DHCP Server (if not available, set up a static IP address as described in Chapter Set up static IP address on Wizyconf)

  • Stable internet connection

  • Wizyconf must be able to reach the PBX via its public IP (even in case the PBX is local)

The first upgrade

Upon the first launch, Wizyconf automatically upgrades its firmware. The notification about the upgrade is displayed. It takes up to 10 minutes to complete the upgrading process (depends on the Internet connection). Then Wizyconf is rebooted automatically

Notes: 

  • Wizyconf is upgraded from firmware.wildix.com server

  • Port used by Wizyconf: tcp:443

Further upgrades

Wizyconf is distinguished by updates from 3 different branches:

    1. Power the device off/on by pressing Power button on Wizyconf Core or put it into a standby mode by pressing Power On/ Off button on Remote Control

    2. To check the App version, press Home button on a keyboard -> go to Wizyconf Settings menu (Google chrome icon)-> click on Main menu (three lines) -> select About Chromium OS (a mouse and a keyboard are required)

  2. WMS interface (manual upgrade). To upgrade:

    1. Upgrade WMS to the latest version from rel60beta or rel60 / rel50beta or rel50 repositories

  3. Conference server: no need to upgrade, the changes are available right away
