Booking Devices: Adding and Connecting Nasos
Preparation
What you will need
- An active Biamp Workplace account with an active administrator role in the Workplace organization you will be adding and connecting Naso devices to.
- An NFC-enabled mobile phone with the Biamp Workplace Booking mobile app installed on it.
- Near Field Communications is a common feature in major mobile phone brands. Lists of NFC-enabled devices can be found online.
- We recommend bringing a laptop with Biamp Workplace on it for viewing the administration console of the organization you will be adding Nasos to. Specifically to verify the connection on the admin side.
- Rooms should already be listed in the organization as resources in Biamp Workplace. You will be connecting each of those organization Room resources to the hardware Naso devices to link them in the system.
You must be on site
Adding Naso room manager devices to your organization and connecting them to Room resources in the system must take place onsite where the Naso devices are installed.
Adding and connecting
1. Plug in the Naso if it is not already powered. The Naso can be powered either with an AC adapter or by power over Ethernet (PoE).
- The Naso will boot to a Setup screen.
2. Open and sign in to the Biamp Workplace Booking mobile app on your phone.
3. Select the organization you will be adding Naso devices to in the Booking app.
- Organizations are selected under your profile. To access them, tap the profile circle icon near the top-right of the home Today calendar screen. Then select the organization to which you will be adding Keelos booking devices.
4. On your profile screen, scroll down to the Utilities section, tap Device setup tab, and select "Naso Room Manager" option.
5. Select either WiFi or Ethernet for the network type that the Naso will use for connecting to the web-hosted Workplace organization.
6a - WiFi networks option: Enter the sign-in credentials for the WiFi network the Naso will use for connecting to the organization. Then tap Save, and after that, Continue. This will take you to the Resource page.
- The app will transmit the credentials to the Kleeo during a future step.
- Please note: The Network Name and Password are case sensitive.
6b - Ethernet option: On the Resource page, select the room on the organization resources screen that you want to link to the Naso device.
- In the visual example below, we will be connecting the Naso to the Workplace room location (resource) called "Office".
7. Place your phone near the Naso's RFID reader. The reader location is indicated on the Naso by a mobile phone icon and arrow.
An active Connecting screen will appear on the Booking app screen once the Naso acknowledges the handshake.
The Booking app will indicate a successful connection and Naso activation.
After a few moments, the Naso will power cycle, reboot, and then show a booking display with the name of the connected Workplace room location at the top of the screen.
- In this example, "Lecture Hall".
8. Check the Devices tab under the Device page in the organization's Workplace portal administration console. The device should now be present.
