Schedule meetings faster and easier

with RoomWizard®

The RoomWizard is an interactive touch-screen device mounted near

a meeting room entrance or open group area. It’s a web-based room

reservation system you can access from any computer on the web.

RoomWizard is easy to install and maintain.

• Congure each RoomWizard from its web page or at the device.

• Easily update room names, times, and amenities.

• Power each RoomWizard with a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) network

cable. A traditional AC power source is not needed.

• Reduce power consumption by adjusting after-hours display

settings.

• Communicate with other ZigBee® devices, including building control

and mobile services, with low-power ZigBee radio-equipped models.

RoomWizard web pages simplify administration and

integrate with your corporate calendar system.

• Group RoomWizards to simplify conguration and dramatically reduce

the time needed to implement room changes or rmware updates.

• Run reports that track room usage.

• Use smart phone mobile apps to schedule rooms and SnapTag™ to

capture, tag, and send whiteboard content to others.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

RoomWizard adapts to a variety of corporate environments. This

manual describes how to set up and use RoomWizard and connect it

to Microsoft® Exchange.

WELCOME

POWER AND DATA REQUIREMENTS

• Each RoomWizard requires a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) 802.11af/t

switch or a network connection with a Power Injector.

• 10baseT or 100baseT Ethernet

• A web browser is required to access the web-based room

reservation system.

• A Lotus® Domino®, Microsoft Exchange, or other third-party

connector is required, if an email connection is desired.

OVERVIEW

Each RoomWizard is a self-contained, self-sufcient device that

manages reservations for just one room. The RoomWizard reservation

system creates a network of individual RoomWizards.

BUILT-IN WEB SERVER

Each RoomWizard is a network node with its own connection to your LAN,

a unique hostname and IP address, and its own IP networking connection

including subnet mask, LDAP, DNS server, and default gateway.

The RoomWizard’s embedded web server provides:

• Web-based reservation pages for scheduling rooms

• Communication with DHCP, SMTP, and LDAP services on your

network for scheduling integration

• Communication with other RoomWizards and groups.

• Mobile device connections

• System management web pages

ABOUT ROOMWIZARD

MICROSOFT EXCHANGE | RoomWizard

ETHERNET BANDWIDTH

RoomWizard can operate with 10baseT or 100baseT Ethernet. During

installation, RoomWizard detects the speed of your network and

automatically congures itself to be compatible.

HOW ROOMWIZARD INTERFACES WITH OTHER PROGRAMS

API

RoomWizard contains an XML-based Application Programming

Interface (API) that allows RoomWizard to send to and receive

information from a server-based corporate calendar system. The API

also describes the specic method by which this communication

can take place. This allows a programmer to write synchronization

software that establishes communication between RoomWizard

and an existing reservation system. The API depends on the

synchronization software to accomplish this synchronization. See

RoomWizard API at www.steelcase.com/roomwizard.

Mail server integration

If your network includes an SMTP server, RoomWizard can access it

to send email messages.

RoomWizard can send reminder emails about upcoming meetings

and system-function reports.

To congure a RoomWizard for SMTP access, add the SMTP server

address to the RoomWizard’s setup pages. See “RoomWizard

Settings” on page 55.

LDAP

If your RoomWizard system operates in classic mode and you are

conguring access to your network SMTP server, then you can also

provide classic mode users with the ability to validate and look up

email addresses from the corporate address book with access to your

network LDAP server. See “RoomWizard Settings” on page 55.

With LDAP support, RoomWizard enables users to type partial names

and validate the names similar to many popular email programs. When

the user saves the reservation (or presses the “Check Names” button),

partial names or email addresses are validated in the LDAP database. If

the user presses the “Add” button, the corporate database appears and

they can add names to the reservation directly from the database.

One-Click Publishing

The RoomWizard One-Click Publishing option provides a web-based

communication link between a room’s RoomWizard and that room’s

CopyCam. CopyCam captures anything written or drawn on a room’s

whiteboard. Together, they can email the whiteboard’s content to the

meeting host and invitees.

One-Click Publishing depends on conguring the RoomWizard with

the address of your SMTP server. See “RoomWizard Settings” on

page 55.

ROOMWIZARD TOUCH SCREEN

Use the RoomWizard touch screen to:

• View today’s schedule of reservations for that room.

• View details about the current reservation and the room’s amenities.

• Claim the room for an impromptu meeting.

• End the current reservation early or extend it beyond the scheduled

ending time.

• Indicate the scheduled meeting has actually started.

Use the “About” button on the RoomWizard front panel to view and

congure the RoomWizard’s IP address or to calibrate the touch screen.

REBOOTING A ROOMWIZARD

To reboot (power off and on) a RoomWizard, insert the tip of a

straightened paper clip or other thin, straight object into the small

hole on the bottom surface of the RoomWizard. Rebooting takes

about two minutes. The RoomWizard is not available on the network

while it reboots.

CREATING A ROOMWIZARD SYSTEM

One RoomWizard, with its web-enabled options, serves as the

building block for creating a highly congurable system. See “Step 2:

Set Up Groups of RoomWizards” on page 23.

RoomWizard options enable you to design a system including:

• Groups of up to 20 RoomWizards that can share functions. Links

between groups to expand the system.

• Password protection enables you to limit users’ access to certain

rooms.

Options that enable RoomWizard to integrate with your existing

network include:

• Mail server integration enables RoomWizard to interact with Microsoft

Exchange and Lotus Domino calendar systems.

• DHCP support to allocate IP address automatically.

• SMTP support to send emails.

• LDAP support allows users with access privileges to access the

corporate email database when entering meeting attendees in the

Reservations form.

ROOMWIZARD GROUPS

RoomWizards in a group collaborate or federate to provide a system-

wide view. Creating RoomWizard groups simplies conguration and

dramatically reduces the time needed to implement room changes or

rmware updates.

Creating groups of RoomWizards enables these specic

functions:

• System managers can simultaneously apply conguration options to

each RoomWizard in a group.

• System managers can congure groups strategically to maximize

access to certain rooms, limit access to specic rooms; or to direct

the use of certain rooms for specic uses, based on how rooms are

grouped and linked.

• Users can view existing reservations in GroupView, a reservation

page that shows the timelines for all group members. GroupView

allows users to compare the daily schedules of all the rooms at a

glance.

8RoomWizard | SYSTEM MANAGER MANUAL

• Users can look for an existing reservation or for a suitable meeting

room using the RoomWizard “Find” function, which searches across

all RoomWizards in the group.

Grouping is a powerful strategy for designing a RoomWizard system.

LINKS BETWEEN GROUPS

Since groups should include no more than 20 RoomWizard, you can

link groups to allow you to expand the system.

There is no limit to the number of group links. Ten links could enable

you to build a system of up to 200 RoomWizards. System managers

have the option to include or exclude links to other groups, in essence

controlling access to certain meeting rooms.

LINKING MULTIPLE NETWORKS

RoomWizards are part of a network, and their accessibility is

controlled by who can access that network. Firewalls, routers, and

gateways (network building blocks) can be used to interconnect

networks or restrict the trafc between them.

Install RoomWizards on a separate sub-network and congure the

gateway to permit trafc to and from the RoomWizards. This prevents

unwanted access to the main network and protects the network if a

RoomWizard is compromised.
