Navigating Menus with the Keyboard and Mouse
About this task
On the Avaya XTE240 only, you can navigate through endpoint menus using your computer's
keyboard and mouse instead of the remote control, by running a PC or Mac program called Avaya
Room System XT Control. It also allows you to seamlessly switch between your computer screen
and the system menus. If you are using Avaya Room System XT Control
1
to control more than
one Avaya XTE240 device, it displays the list of controlled devices. You can see the connection
status of each device and you can delete devices that you no longer require. By default, your
computer screen is always displayed when you are not in a call.

Avaya Room System XT Control also offers shortcuts for some commonly used tasks, such as
sharing content during a call.
You can still use the XT Remote Control Unit at any time (see About the XT Remote Control
Unit on page 40 for details).

Wizard on page 27. The last step of the quick setup wizard is installing the Avaya Room
