Connecting a Computer to the Avaya XT Series using Screen Link
About this task
Users can present content from a laptop on an Avaya XT Series monitor without connecting it to
the XT Codec Unit, using the Avaya Screen Link feature. If you are also using the Avaya XT
Series for a videoconference, the content is shared with all participants of the meeting, both
located in the same room and remote.
Depending on its security configuration, an Avaya XT Series endpoint behaves in one of the
following ways when you to connect to it:
• Rejects Screen Link — the endpoint does not allow anyone to connect to it for screen
sharing.
• Requires password — the endpoint generates a one time password that you need to enter
on your laptop to connect to it.
• Seamlessly authenticates Scopia XT Desktop or Avaya IX Workplace Client and
connects to it
Before you begin
• If you want to present content to local participants only, make sure that the Avaya XT Series
endpoint is not currently used for a videoconference. If you are using the endpoint for an
audio-only call, you can share the presentation with participants in the meeting room.
• To present content from your laptop, bring the laptop into a videoconference room equipped
with an Avaya XT Series endpoint.
• To display your computer’s content on the XT Series using Avaya Screen Link, your
computer must have an Avaya Workplace Client or Scopia XT Desktop Client installed and
be in the same network as the endpoint. If the computer and endpoint are in different
networks, make sure there is no NAT or firewall between them.
- For automatic pairing (using proximity sensing), the computer’s speakers must be able to
play audio at up to 19KHz.
