Tips for Setting Up the Room
Follow these best practices listed below when setting up the CX5100 unified conference station in a
conference room.
● Place the unified conference station in a large conference room, rather than a small room.
● If the room has hard walls or large windows, consider installing sound-absorbing panels and window
blinds or drapes.
● Place the unified conference station in the center of the table, and place the table in the center of the
room.
● If wall displays are part of the room’s setup, move the unified conference station closer to the
displays.
● Place the unified conference station so that participants are speaking toward the microphones. Avoid
placing the unified conference station so that participants speak away from the microphones.
