Introduction

The INOGENI Toggle offers a low-cost possibility to use ClickShare Conference (CX-20, CX-30, CX-50) solutions with systems that use direct wired connection to the USB peripherals in a room.
This document describes common use cases where you can connect the Toggle with ClickShare Conference system and a variety of compute systems

ClickShare Conference with MTR or Zoom Rooms

To use ClickShare Conference in combination with MTRs and Zoom Rooms, the Toggle can be used to switch the USB peripherals between the two systems.

To set up this configuration:

1. Connect CX-20/CX-30/CX-50 USB to Toggle USB-B.
2. Connect MTR/ZR USB to Toggle USB-B.
3. Connect CX-20/CX-30/CX-50 HDMI Out to MTR/ZR HDMI IN.
4. Connect the MTR/ZR HDMI Out to the Display.
5. Connect USB Peripherals (either all-in-one audio-video USB system, or USB camera and USB speakerphone) to Toggle USB-A.
6. Optionally, for control, connect the Toggle GPI/RS-232 to the corresponding control system.
    

After the connections are made, you can operate the device with the Toggle button or have a room control processor connected to its GPI input or RS232 port. If the room has a control processor with RS232 capability, you can use it to manually send commands through RS232. Make sure to configure the Toggle in “Manual mode” using the INOGENI Control App. See end of document for more details.
If you want to connect to a processor that has relay capability, route this control processor relay connections to the GPI and GND connections of the Toggle device. Make sure to configure the Toggle GPIN mode in “Level mode”. See end of document for more details

Detailed Toggle connection overview

Once all the connections are made and the configuration is done, the user can walk in the room and

1. Wirelessly present by connecting to ClickShare with either the Button or the ClickShare App and start presenting. Via ClickShare, the user can share his screen or individual applications.
2. Wirelessly conference by connecting to ClickShare. The user needs to make sure to have the USB peripherals switched to ClickShare either via the switch on the Toggle or the control system. The user can start any UC client, show his content, etc. By using Smart Meeting flows, the user is able to show people and content next to each other, and the meeting flow is largely automated. (see video ClickShare Conference – Introducing smart meeting flows).
   
   
   
   Remark: With the CX-50 Gen2 it will be possible to automatically switch between wireless conferencing and MTR/ZR mode.
3. Use the MTR/ZR. The user needs to make sure to have the USB peripherals switched to the MTR/ZR system either via the switch on the Toggle or the control system.
4. Connect his laptop via HDMI and USB, or USB-C and share his screen and use the peripherals. This allows the user to share full [email protected] at 4:4:4 laptop resolution and receive the “native peripherals”.

ClickShare Conference CX-50 with wired BYOD setup

To use ClickShare Conference CX-50 in combination with a laptop, the Toggle can be used to automatically switch the USB peripherals between the two systems. The laptop can share his screen via the HDMI input on the CX-50.

ClickShare Conference CX-50 can be used with wired connection with a laptop. With this setup, it is easy to switch between ClickShare CX-50 Conference collaboration and BYOD laptop. Then, the automatic switching feature can then be used to jump to the BYOD laptop to use other UC clients like Teams, Zoom and Google Meet using room display.

To set up this configuration:

1. Connect CX-50 USB to Toggle USB-B.
2. Connect BYOD PC USB to Toggle USB-B. Make sure that the Toggle is configured to automatically switch the peripherals to this port once this USB connection becomes active. In all other cases the peripherals are switched to the port where CX-50 is connected.
3. Connect CX-50 HDMI Out to display. Connect the BYOD HDMI Out to HDMI In of CX-50.
4. Connect USB Peripherals (either all-in-one audio-video USB system, or USB camera and USB speakerphone) to Toggle USB-A.
5. Optionally, for control, connect the Toggle GPI/RS232 to the corresponding control system.
    

Once all the connections are made and the configuration is done, the user can walk in the room and

1. Wirelessly present by connecting to ClickShare with either the Button or the ClickShare App and start presenting via ClickShare, the user can share his screen or individual applications.
2. Wirelessly conference by connecting to ClickShare. By default, the USB peripherals are switched to ClickShare so that no user action is required. The user can start any UC client, show his content, etc. By using Smart Meeting flows, the user is able to show people and content next to each other, and the meeting flow is largely automated (see video ClickShare Conference – Introducing smart meeting flows).
   
   
    
3. Connect his laptop to the Toggle USB-B: the peripherals will automatically be switched from ClickShare to the laptop. Using the HDMI input of the ClickShare, the user can share his laptop HDMI output to the display. The user can run any UC client on his laptop using the native peripherals and share his laptop screen in full HD resolution. This can be a useful addition to rooms where certain users cannot use the ClickShare Button or App.
