CHAPTER 2: INTRODUCTION
2.1 DESCRIPTION
IN-SESSION is a meeting room reservation system. The IN-SESSION system touch panels (RS-TOUCH7-W, RS-TOUCH7-M, RSTOUCH12-W, RS-TOUCH12-M) are installed in front of the entrance to the room and show its state. The RS-MODERATOR unit
makes it possible to centrally manage all reservation system panels using a web browser.
The reservation system panels show the following information:
Show whether the particular room is occupied or available, which is also indicated by background color (green for free room and red
for occupied one).
If the room is free, the panel shows the following meeting on that day (in case it is scheduled) and time remaining until its beginning.
If the room is occupied, the panel shows the subject of the meeting, the organizer and time remaining until the end of it.
The panel enables to browse the calendar of the room and view the details of scheduled meetings.
It is possible to reserve the room for the next available time in the calendar.
If a meeting is in progress, it is possible to extend it or finish it (unless there is anything arranged afterwards).
The IN-SESSION system cooperates with the following servers or services where the room calendars are saved:
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016.
Microsoft Office 365 subscription (any Business, Education, Enterprise or Government plan with support of resource/room
mailboxes; home and personal plans are not supported).
G Suite, formerly Google Apps for Work, subscription (Google Apps Free edition, also known as Standard edition, is not supported) .
It is also possible to use the default applications of these services to make a reservation of a room (Outlook, web interface, mobile
applications).
For easy administration of reservation system units, these units are linked to a group called reservation suite. Units connected to
the same reservation suite share their settings so, for example, if you need to change the user account password, you can just do it
on one panel and all the other ones within the same reservation suite will adopt the change automatically. The reservation suite can
be managed in the following ways:
Essential Setup: In this administration mode, you change the settings on any reservation suite unit, and settings shared within the
Reservation Suite will be automatically applied to all units. Other settings (individual settings of each unit, e.g. language, display
brightness, etc.) must be done on each unit separately. The procedure for setting using Essential Setup is described in the RSTOUCH7 manual.
On-premises Administration: In this way, the entire reservation suite is centrally managed through the web interface of the
RS-MODERATOR manager unit. The RS-MODERATOR unit must be plugged into the same LAN as the other units of the Reservation
Suite. RS-MODERATOR also has other features, such as analytics and room utilization statistics. The procedure for setup using
On-premises Administration is described in this manual.

2.2 NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
For the proper functioning of the system it is necessary to ensure the following:
The unit has to be connected to the same LAN as the touch panels of the IN-SESSION reservation suite
Server access (Exchange Server, Office 365, G Suite) via HTTP (TCP port 80) and HTTPS (TCP port 443).
NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers access (UDP port 123).
Functional DNS servers.
Correctly set time zones for all required accounts (i.e. rooms).
An open TCP port 80 (HTTP) and the server 443 (HTTPS) within the local network for the administration of IN-SESSION units via
Admin Web.
An open TCP port 53128 and UDP port 33333 within the local network for communication between IN-SESSION units.
Communication between panels is encrypted using AES-256.
An open UDP port 53 for communication with DNS server and for conversion of domain names to IP addresses.
An open UDP ports 67 and 68 for communication with DHCP server and for IP address assignment, if DHCP is used.
An open UDP port 1900. Opening this port is not mandatory, it is used to make the reservation system units visible in the Windows
File Explorer. This port uses UPnP technology (Universal Plug and Play), which enables reservation system units in the file explorer
to be made visible as other network devices. This technology must also be enabled on a given computer.
An open proxy server port if a proxy server is used to access HTTPS servers.
Free LAN sockets on Ethernet switches for each RS-VIEWER unit.
CAT5 or higher LAN cables leading from an Ethernet switch to the place where you want to install the RS-VIEWER unit.
The network card of the RS-MODERATOR unit supports speeds up to 1 Gbit/s. If you are using a faster LAN, set up ports intended
for RS-MODERATOR unit on your switch to auto negotiate or to 1 Gbit/s.
IN-SESSION supports the following cryptographic standards for HTTPS access: SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2. Supported
encrypting includes 3DES, AES-128 and AES-256.
All units conected to the RS-MODERATOR must have firmware 10 or later.
Check that no security programs or functions (such as firewalls, proxy servers, domains, etc.) block straight HTTP/HTTPS
communication between the IN-SESSION units and servers with room calendars.

CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION USING RS-MODERATOR
3.1 SETUP PROCEDURE
To set the IN-SESSION system using the RS-MODERATOR on-premises administration, follow these steps:
Prepare an account on the Microsoft Office 365, Exchange 2007/2010/2013/2016 or G Suite. The procedure for setting up specific
types of servers is described in the following documents.
IN-SESSION Room Scheduler - Setup Guide - Microsoft Exchange Server
IN-SESSION Room Scheduler - Setup Guide - Microsoft Office 365
IN-SESSION Room Scheduler - Setup Guide - G Suite
The RS-MODERATOR is managed using the Admin Web pages. There you can do the following:
Set up the RS-MODERATOR unit (IP address, date and time, etc.)
Create the reservation suite
Manage the list of servers, user and room accounts
Manage the list of IN-SESSION units connected to the reservation suite
Manage a company logo
Manage room support services
IP settings
Date and time settings
Set up the IN-SESSION units parameters (language, format of date and time, etc.)
Firmware upgrade

3.2 ACCESSING ADMIN WEB
To access the Admin Web of IN-SESSION units you need a computer with an internet browser. The computer must be connected to
the same LAN network as the IN-SESSION units. The Admin Web pages can be opened in one of the following ways:
Option 1: Run File Explorer on your computer and select “Network” in the left part of the screen. On the right, you will see a list of
devices found in your network. The units of the IN-SESSION systems can be found in the section “Other devices”. If you double-click
the desired IN-SESSION unit, the internet browser will start running, the unit IP address will be entered automatically and the Admin
Web of the given panel will open in the browser. To enable your computer to find the IN-SESSION units, network identification has to
be switched on your computer. In Windows 10 this can be done in the following manner: Start / Settings / Network & Internet. Then
select Wi-Fi (if your computer has a wireless connection to the network) or Ethernet (if your computer is connected through a cable)
in the left half of the screen. If you are connected by cable, click on your network connection in the right part. If you are using Wi-Fi,
click on the item “Advanced options“ below the list of available Wi-Fi networks. Then set the item “Make this PC discoverable“ to

(dealing with malfunction of air-conditioning, lighting, ventilation etc.) and the other one the IT department (caring for the
functionality of computers, Wi-Fi connection, LAN and so on).
If some of these reservation panel functions are enabled, you will see an options button in the upper right corner of the panel. From
there you can send requests for room support, order catering, etc. Requests are sent to the email address you have entered for this
purpose. If cleanup or support request is sent through the panel, an icon in the upper right corner indicates that the room is waiting
for cleanup or repair. For more detailed description of how to use the services, see the RS-TOUCH7 manual, Using the room support

3.11 SETTING UP THE CONFIRMATION OF THE MEETINGS
Meeting confirmation is the function of the reservation system, which makes it mandatory to confirm a previously planned meeting.
Confirmation is possible through a dialog box on the panel, using information from occupancy sensors (detection of the presence
of people in the room), or a combination of both. When combining both confirmation modes, the meeting is confirmed by whichever
of the two events occurs first (either the presence of persons in the room or confirmation by a dialog box on the panel). If it is not
confirmed that the meeting will take place, the meeting is automatically cancelled. Five minutes before cancelling the meeting, the
system sends an email to the user reminding him of the need to confirm the meeting on the panel. This setting is individual for each
room.
To set the meeting confirmation function, select “Basic Setup / Rooms” and then tap on the edit button of the room to be set.
It will open the “Edit room” window.

In the “Require confirmation of meetings“ item, activate the function by selecting “By dialog box on the panel,“,“By occupancy sensors” or “By
occupancy sensors or dialog box.” If you do not require confirmation, choose “Not required.” The default setting is “Not Required.”
Meetings fall into two categories according to duration:
Common meeting is a meeting taking place within a limited period of time during one day:
Example: A meeting from 10:00 to 15:00
A long meeting—this category includes all-day meetings, meetings that last more than one day or unusually long meetings. These
are characterized by the following criteria:
They begin at 0.00 of the current day or earlier
They end after the time set for cancelling long meetings of the current day
Example 1: the meeting starts at 00.00 of the previous day and ends at 0.00 of the following day
Example 2: the meeting starts at 0.00 of the current day and ends at 2 p.m. of the current day (the time of cancelling a long meeting
has been set to 9.15)
In the “Cancel unconfirmed meeting in” item, set the period of time after the beginning of the current meeting at which the meeting,
unless confirmed, will be cancelled.
Example: the period of time for the cancellation of a common meeting is set to 15 min. The meeting starts at 10.30. If the meeting
is not confirmed on the panel by this time, the organizer of the meeting gets an email at 10.40 with a warning about cancellation. If
the meeting is not confirmed by 10.45, it will automatically be cancelled at 10.45.
In the “Cancel long meetings at” item, set the time of the day (i.e. from midnight on) by which long meetings have to be confirmed.
Example 1: The meeting starts at 10.00 on the previous day and ends at 23.59 on the current day. The time of cancelling long
meetings is set to 8.20. If the meeting is not confirmed, the organizer gets an email at 8.15. If the meeting is not confirmed by 8.20
of the current day, it will automatically be cancelled at 8.20.
Example 2: The meeting lasts from 0.00 of the current day to 10 p.m. of the following day. The time for the cancellation of long
meetings is set to 9.15. The organiser gets an email at 9.10. If the meeting is not confirmed by 9.15 of the current day, the beginning
of the meeting is at this moment shifted to 0.00 of the following day (see below for exceptions).
Exceptions - meeting confirmation has the ollowing exceptions:
If you reserve a room from the panel and the meeting starts within 15 min from the moment of the reservation, the meeting does
not need to be confirmed (it is considered confirmed).
Meetings that last several days must be confirmed every day.

A Service PIN should only be known to service department employees. This PIN is the same for both service departments and is

In the “Enable control system integration” item, you can enable communication of the reservation system panel with the Black Box
control system. This makes it possible for reservation system panels to transfer information on room occupancy and currently
running meetings to the control system.

can then activate the keypad by pressing the options button in the upper right corner of the screen and then selecting “Control.“
