The installation of an VBOS desk identifier consists of four simple steps. The following article will showcase the steps including potential pitfalls.
Checklist:
- Every desk has been cleaned and is free of dust.
- Every desk has a 5V power socket available.
- Every desk has one VBOS desk identifier
- Every desk has one 5V adapter
- Every desk has one cable management clip
Steps for installation:
1. Use the adhesive tape to stick the VBOS device to the top right corner of the desk.
- Place the VBOS device 1x its own width from the side of the table (use another VBOS device for measurement)
- Press firmly on the VBOS device for multiple seconds to secure it in place.
The following video shows how to mount a VBOS device.
2. Power up the VBOS devices at each individual desk by plugging them into the designated power sockets.
3. Wait for the VBOS device light indicator to turn green.
Please note: Depending on signal strength in the area and location in the building it can take up to 10 minutes for the booting process to be completed (and the light to turn green).
Troubleshooting if light does not turn green:
- Unplug the VBOS device for 30 seconds and try again. (try this 2/3 times)
- Change the 5V adapter with a spare one.
In case all of the troubleshooting tips above failed, replace the VBOS device.
4. Use the cable management clips to attach the cable to the bottom of the desk.
Additional troubleshooting:
- The VBOS device does not power on at all.
- Check if the power socket is giving power.
- Replace the 5V adapter with another one from the shipment.
- Replace the VBOS device with another one from the shipment.
- There is no adhesive tape on the bottom of the VBOS device.
- The vendor always adds multiple sheets of adhesive stickers to every shipment.
