Elements in the system
MPX 250
As the primary unit in the setup, it offers centralized connections for room peripherals, including displays, USB devices, audio systems, and network infrastructure. It also supports connection to an MPX 250 EXT module for extended deployment scenarios.
Table Controller
A compact touch-enabled control interface designed for table-top installation. It allows users to connect up to 4 laptops or devices via USB-C, also providing charging and optional internet connectivity. The device connects directly to the MPX 250 system via USB and requires no additional configuration or external power supply.
Table Mounting System
An installation kit designed to secure the EasyConnect MPX 250 series devices to meeting room tables. It includes a cable management bag and mounting accessories that allow all connected cables to be neatly routed and concealed underneath the table surface. This ensures a clean, professional appearance while protecting cables from accidental disconnection or damage.
MPX 250 EXT
An extension module for the main MPX 250 unit, designed for setups where room displays and A/V peripherals are located far from the primary device.
MPX 250 Link 30
An active USB-C reinforced cable utilizing optical technology. Its 30 ft (10 m) length enables reliable long-distance connection between the MPX 250 EXT and the main MPX 250 unit.

- Press and hold any touch button on the Table Controller for 5 seconds.
- When a white light appears on the controller, connect the USB-C cable to your laptop.
When connected, the main interface for the EMC will show, offering the possibility to configure the unit according to your needs.
