PROVIDING POWER
There are three ways to provide power to the Touch Panel Controller:
• AC Power Adapter attached to the power connector at the bottom
of the device.
• Ethernet connected to an PoE injector or PoE-capable switch via
the RJ45 connector at the bottom of the device.
• Ethernet connected to a P-link-capable ClearOne device via the
RJ45 connector at the bottom of the device.
PROVIDING COMMUNICATIONS
In order for a Touch Panel Controller to work, it must be connected to a
CONVERGE Pro 2 (CP2) device. In order for the telephony-specific Dialer
functions to work, the Touch Panel Controller must be connected to a
CONVERGE Pro 2 device that is either VoIP or Telco capable.
There are four ways to provide communications between the Touch Panel
Controller and a CP2:
