Installation
Introduction to the installation methods:
The Connexio can be installed in different ways in a meeting room.
●Table mount
●Wall mount
The articulated antennas are removable. They can rotate for better wireless
connection.
Note: For optimal performance, install the Connexio close to the display and avoid
obstacles between the Connexio and transmitting devices.
Antenna Placement Rules
●The antennas should be oriented vertically, so perpendicular to the ceiling and
parallel to the walls.
●The antennas should be installed far enough (at least 50 cm/1.6ft) from metallic
surfaces to avoid unwanted reflections and far enough (at least 1m/3.3ft) from other
radio equipment that operates in the same frequency range, e.g. other Wi-Fi access
points, cordless telephone, microwave ovens,…. It is also best to install antennas at
least 15 cm (6 inches) from concrete walls.
●The most favorable situation is a direct line of sight between antennas and Buttons.
Any obstruction will cause the signal to follow a longer propagation path, which can
result in performance degradation.
●Due to the particular radio pattern of the dipole antennas, the antennas should not
be placed just above potential positions of WirelessMedia users. As a result, the
advised position for the antennas is at the side of the meeting room

BZBGEAR BG-Connexio PRODUCT MANUAL
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The Connexio can be powered via an ethernet cable if the unit is connected to a PoE
network switch instead of using the external power adapter.
Video Connection
1. Connect the HDMI Output of the Connexio to a 4K or Full-HD display with an HDMI
cable.
2. After the unit is started the system will show the home page, as shown below.
Audio Connection
The Connexio can transmit the audio output of the PC/Laptop to the Connexio
together with the video signal. The audio will be output at line levels from the 3.5mm
mini jack connector and via the HDMI output connectors simultaneously.
How to connect to an external audio system
1. Connect a 3.5mm mini audio cable to the audio port of the Connexio.
2. Connect the other side of the cable to the meeting room’s sound system.

BZBGEAR BG-Connexio PRODUCT MANUAL
If sound is not transmitted
The Connexio will continuously capture and transmit audio from the connected
PC/Laptop.
1. Ensure the LED on top is solid green and the PC/Laptop is sharing on the screen
2. Check that the Connexio is selected as the output device in sound settings and
that the volume is set to an acceptable level.
PC/Laptop Sound
As default the Connexio will mute the internal speaker of PC/Laptop and route
the audio to the Connexio in order to avoid an audio echo.
When clicking the button to stop sharing, the local speaker will return to its
previous state.
Note: If you want to keep the internal speaker of PC/Laptop active and still route
the audio to the Connexio, click the audio mute icon in the status bar to turn the
internal speaker on.
LAN Connection
The Connexio can be connected to a local network or directly to a PC/laptop. For
normal operation, a LAN connection is not necessary but it is recommended to
connect the Connexio to the Internet.
1. Connect a network cable with an RJ-45 connector into the LAN port of the
Connexio.
2. Connect the other side to the network.
3. If the connected network switch supports power over ethernet (PoE), it can
also power the Connexio instead of using the external power supply.
