A Note About Wall and Rack Installation
Some products are installed in areas of differing temperature and cooling methodologies. These include products installed in walls,
racks, cabinets, etc. Those areas may have different temperatures and/or cooling approaches that must be taken into consideration
to maintain the product within the specif ied operating temperature.
FIG. 6 shows an AMX device installed in a wall with a filled volume (such as with insulation or concrete), as well as with a closed
volume (such as between studs in an otherwise f inished wall). The diagram shows how heat generated by the device or other
devices may have no way to escape, and may build up to levels that may affect device operation.
Acendo BookInstallation
FIG. 6
Heat convection in filled or closed volume, limited or no convection
In F IG. 7, the diagra m displays an AMX device in a typical rack mounting, with full air circulation around the front and back of the
device. In this case, the main concern is with heat building up between components, possibly to levels that may affect device
operation.

Installation Recommendations
During any installation, a lack of ventilation may produce conditions that may adversely affect the device’s operation. In these
circumstances, special care must be made to make sure that temperatures within enclosed areas do not exceed the device’s
maximum rated temperature.
NOTE: While the outside temperature of the device may be at or below its maximum operating temperature, special care must be
taken before and during installation to ensure that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded within wall or rack
installation spaces.
Mounting Options
AMX RoomBook Scheduling Touch Panels can be installed via several mounting options:
Use the included clear plastic Backbox to attach the panel to most standard wall materials.
Other optional AMX mounting solutions include the MSA-MMK2-07/10 Multi Mount Kits, and the MSA-AMK2-07/10 Any Mount
Kits, and CB-MXSA-07/10 Rough-In Boxes. Refer to the Quick Start Guide included with each mounting kit for instructions.
Power Over Ethernet
Power for AMX RoomBook Scheduling Touch Panels is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an AMX-certified PoE
injector such as the PS-POE-AF-TC PoE Injector (FG423-83). The incoming Ethernet cable should be connected to the RJ-45 port
on the RMBK-701/1001.
Plastic Backbox
AMX RoomBook Scheduling Touch Panels come with a clear plastic Backbox. This Backbox can be used to mount the touch panel
into most standard wall materials. The Backbox can also used to mount the panel into other mounting options.
NOTE: For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary method for securing the Backbox to the
surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use mounting screws (not included).
STEP 1: Install the Plastic Backbox
Use the included Installation Template to determine the placement of the Backbox in the mounting surface. The outside edges of
the template are the same dimensions as the touch panel, which allows you to troubleshoot possible conflicts with wall edges,
doors, and other potential obstacles.
NOTE: Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the cutout process.

Temp lat e as a g uid e.
NOTE: When installing the Backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the correct position and in the correct place. Once the
locking tabs are extended and locked into place, removing the Backbox may be difficult without having access to the back of the
wall or causing damage to the wall.
NOTE: Consider making the actual cutout opening slightly smaller than the provided dimensions. This provides a margin of error
if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little wall material removed is always better than too much.
2.Thread the incoming cables (Ethernet and Micro-USB) from their terminal locations through the surface opening, leaving
enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.
3.Remove the Backbox knockouts and thread incoming cables through the knockout holes.
4.Gently push the Backbox into the mounting surface.
This Backbox uses two Locking Tabs to secure the Backbox to the wall. For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, the
locking tabs are the primary method for securing the Backbox to the wall.
To ensure a stable installation, the thickness of the wall material must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a
maximum of .875 inches (2.22cm). The mounting surface should also be smooth and flat. For thin walls or solid surfaces,
use mounting screws (not included) - see FIG. 8.
5.Extend the Locking Tabs by tightening the Locking Tab screws until snug.
FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show the Locking Tabs on the RMBK-1001 and RMBK-701 Backboxes:

Setup Wizard: Step 5 - GROUP
Acendo Book touch panels can be configured either as a Master or a Member of a Scheduling Panel Group. Members of a Group
communicate with the Master panel, which enables panels to browse the schedules of all Member panels in the same Group.
This provides users with the ability to schedule a meeting in any roo m included in the Scheduling Panel Group, from any panel in the
Group. For example, when a room is occupied, users can browse other rooms and schedule a meeting in any of the rooms in the
Group.
Use the options in the GROUP page to conf igure this panel as either the Master, or a Member of a Scheduling Panel Group. Note
that there can be only one Master panel for a Group. If there is only one stand-alone Acendo Book panel, then it must be configured
as a Master.
NOTE: Up to 49 Acendo Book panels can be configured as Members of a Master panel’s Group (for a total of 50 panels including the
Master). However, note that when conf iguring Scheduling Groups, smaller Room Groups typically have quicker responsiveness for
"Browse Rooms" requests.
Note that when this page is opened, Master is selected by default. Therefore the conf iguration options presented are specific to
configuring this panel as a Master (FIG. 36):

Privacy Mode
When the Acendo Book panel is in Privacy Mode, information considered to be private is hidden (and immutable) on the Acendo
Book panel’s interface.
Note that Privacy Mode works differently when displaying meetings that were booked from an Acendo Book panel, versus meetings
booked outside of an Acendo Book panel (i.e directly via the scheduling system’s Mail/Web client software):
Privacy Mode: Meetings Scheduled from an Acendo Book Panel
When a booking is made, the user cannot define meeting details (subject, message body).
After reservation is made, meeting is displayed on the RoomBook panel with Default Meeting Subject (defined in Room
Settings Page).
If the meeting is selected, no organizer or details are shown and the user is unable to edit the meeting details.
Privacy Mode: Meetings Scheduled from Mail/Web Client
Meeting subject is replaced with the Default Private Meeting Subject text, as defined in the SECURITY page (see Editing the
Private Meeting Subject Message Text, below).
If the meeting is selected, no organizer or details are shown.
NOTE: Acendo Book panels use Exchange, Office 365 or Google "privacy" flag. A meeting marked as private will behave the
same way the global Acendo Book "Privacy Mode" behaves. In order for the Acendo Book panel to be able to read the privacy
mode flag in Exchange and Off ice 365, the Exchange server must set the room's "-RemovePrivateProperty" to $false. By default,
this is set to $true.

Privacy Flag
Acendo Book panels use Exchange, Off ice 365 or Google "privacy" flag. A meeting marked as private will behave the same way the
global Acendo Book "Privacy Mode" behaves (see the Privacy Mode section on page 34).
In order for the Acendo Book panel to be able to read the privacy mode flag in Exchange and Office 365, the Exchange server must
set the room's "-RemovePrivateProperty" to $false. By default, this is set to $true.
Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016 and Office 365 use Room Mailboxes to manage meeting room schedules. Each RoomBook location
(meeting room) that will synchronize with the Microsoft scheduling application (Exchange / Off ice 365) must be represented by a
Room Mailbox.
NOTE: Appropriate administrator access is required to perform these tasks.

Note that your Google Admin Console user interface
may vary slightly from the illustrations provided here,
based on your specif ic software version. The concepts
described in this section apply to all supported
versions of Google for Business.
Appendix C: Configuring Google Resources
Overview
This section provides instructions for conf iguring Google resources to work correctly with Acendo Book panels.
These instructions make the following assumptions:
A Google Business Service account is available
A Room Administrator account has been created that will be shared with each resource
The process of configuring Google resources for use with Acendo Book panels entails the following:
1.Create Resources (see below)
2.Share resource calendars with administrator - see page 79
3.Share service calendars with room administrator account - see page 80
4.Ensure calendar is set to deny conflicts - see page 81
1) Create Resources
1.Log in to the Google Admin Console using the credentials for the Administrator account for Google Apps for Business used by
Acendo Book (FIG. 153):
FIG. 153
2.In the Admin Console, select Apps (FIG. 153):
FIG. 154 Google Admin Console (detail)
3.In the Apps page, select Google Apps (FIG. 155):
Google Admin Console Login Screen
FIG. 155 Google Admin Console - Apps Page (detail)
6.The resource calendar should now show up in the list of calendars under My Calendars (see "Room 101" in FIG. 165):
FIG. 165 Google Calendar indicating new Calendar ("Rom 101")
Add a Coworkers Calendar - Contact Email
3) Share Service Calendars With Room Manager Account

This section provides information to help address several potential issues relative to Acendo Book Scheduling panels and supported
Scheduling services. Please check these topics before contacting AMX Technical Support.
Problem: NO CALENDAR SERVER CONNECTION DETECTED - Username
and Password
Appendix D: Troubleshooting
FIG. 173
No Calendar Server Connection Detected - Please Check Username and Password
Possible Solutions
Calendar Settings - Review the current Calendar settings (Username with domain, Password and Room account with
domain). See Viewing/Editing Calendar Settings on page 38), and verify that the settings are correct.
Service Account Properties and Conf iguration - Review the Google Service account configuration. See Appendix C:
Configuring Google Resources on page 77.
Problem: NO CALENDAR SERVER CONNECTION DETECTED - SSL
Certif icate Time Validation
This error indicates that the SSL certificate did not pass the date/time validation check, typically because the time on the Acendo
Book Scheduling Panel is incorrect - this can cause the certificate to appear to have expired. (FIG. 174):
FIG. 174 NO CALENDAR SERVER CONNECTION DETECTED message
Possible Solutions
Verify that the current network configuration allows the panel to access the NTP Server specified on the panel.
NTP-related settings are made via Advanced Settings on the panel (see the Advanced Settings section on page 42). In the Settings
menu, select SYSTEM > Date & Time to access the Set NTP Server and Select Time Zone settings (FIG. 175):
FIG. 175 Advanced Settings > Date & Time page - Set NTP Server option
Check the current date/time. Time is displayed in the top right corner of each Advanced Settings page. If the time is incorrect,
check the Set NTP Server setting:
If Default is selected, verify that the current network configuration is allowing NTP through the firewall.
If Custom is selected, verify that:
the specified URL is valid
the specified NTP server is online
the current network configuration is allowing NTP through the firewall
Problem (Exchange): Meeting Reservation Not Indicated on the Panel
(No Error Message)
When reserving a meeting (in Exchange), the meeting never shows up on the RoomBook Scheduling Panel, and the panel is not
indicating an error.
Possible Solution
The Exchange Administrator should create a Service Account and Room Delegate, and enable "Auto Accept" for meeting
reservations from RoomBook, as described below:
1) Creating a Service Account
This simply a user account. The following command creates the service account for the room:
NOTE 1: In the case you want to set the ability to allow conflicting meeting requests to a room resource, you can use the
AllowConflicts parameter with the Set-CalendarProcessing command.
The AllowConflicts parameter specifies whether to allow conflicting meeting requests.
Valid input for this parameter is $true or $false. The default value is $false.
NOTE 2: In the scenario that you do not want the recurring meetings rejected when they have an end date beyond the booking
window; you will need to change the AllowConflicts parameter to $false.
When the AllowConflicts parameter is $true, a recurring meeting request is automatically declined if the meetings start on
or before the date specified by the BookingWindowInDays parameter, and the meetings extend beyond the specified date.
When the AllowConflicts parameter is $false, a recurring meeting request is automatically accepted if the meetings start on
or before the date specified by the BookingWindowInDays parameter, and the meetings extend beyond the specified date.
However, the number of meetings is reduced so meetings won't occur after the specified date.
When BookingWindowInDays is 0, an end date isn't enforced for any recurring meetings.
When BookingWindowInDays is greater than 0 and EnforceSchedulingHorizon is $true, the recurring meeting request is
automatically declined if the end date is greater that the value specif ied by BookingWindowInDays.
When BookingWindowInDays is greater than 0 and EnforceSchedulingHorizon is $false, the end date of a recurring meeting
is automatically truncated to the value specif ied by BookingWindowInDays. The following command will change the default
behavior:
Delegates also need Editor access to the calendar and free/busy folder of the mailbox itself so that they can manage meeting
requests. There are two ways to achieve this:
Option 1: Grant an administrator Full Access Permissions to the Room Mailbox, open it in Outlook, and edit the Calendar
and Mailbox permissions.
Option 2: Grant the delegate Full Access Permissions to the Room Mailbox
The delegate rmsservice can now manage room bookings.
The example in FIG. 177 indicates a meeting that is still unconfirmed, waiting for rmsservice to approve or reject it:
FIG. 177 Unconf irmed Meeting indicated (waiting for rmsservice to approve or reject)
After rmsservice approves the meeting the organizer (in this example - "Alan Reid") receives a message confirming
acceptance.
Using Exchange Admin Center (EMC)
NOTE: You need to have permissions assigned before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions are required, see the
"Resource Mailbox Configuration Permissions" section in the Mailbox Permissions topic.
1.In the console tree, navigate to Recipient Conf iguration > Mailbox.
2.In the result pane, select the resource mailbox that you want to configure.
3.In the action pane, under the name of the resource mailbox, click Properties.
4.In <Resource Mailbox Name> Properties, click the Resource Policy tab.
5.Under Specify delegates of this mailbox, perform the following:
a. To add a resource delegate, click Add, and then select the recipient.
b. To remove a res ource delegate, select the delegate , an d then click Remove.
6.To forward all meeting requests to the delegates listed, select the Forward meeting requests to delegates option
7.Click Apply to save your changes, or click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
Using PowerShell
NOTE: You need to have permissions assigned before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions are required, see the
"Resource Mailbox Configuration Permissions" section in the Mailbox Permissions topic.
The following example uses the primary SMTP address for Ed, Ayla, and Ton y to set them as the delegates for the resource mailbox
Room222:
The AutomateProcessing parameter enables or disables calendar processing on the mailbox, and AutoUpdate sets it so that only the
Calendar Attendant processes meeting requests and responses.
Problem (Exchange/Off ice 365): Conflicting Meetings Indicated at
Incorrect Time
If a meeting is scheduled for a time that has already been reserved for a given room, it is a Conflicting Meeting. If conflicts are
allowed (in Exchange/Off ice 365), then conflicting meetings may be indicated at a time other than what was requested by the user
(FIG. 178):
FIG. 178
Conflicting Meeting indicated
Possible Solution
Disable conflicts in Exchange/Office 365: verify that the AllowConflicts property is set to False for the room with which the Acendo
Book panel is associated. Once disabled, conflicting meetings will be declined by the scheduling system.
Problem: "Master Connection Error" Displayed
If the Master panel goes offline for any reason, the Master panel as well as all Member panels in the Scheduling Group di spla y the
Master Connection Error message shown in FIG. 179:
FIG. 179 Master Connection Error message
Possible Solutions
Check the connection status o f the Master panel and verify that the network conf iguration. For example, has the Username,
Password or IP Address of the Master Panel been changed? Once the Master panel is connected to the network, the Member panels
should recover automatically.
Problem (Google): Meetings Are Not Indicated on Room Page
Possible Solutions
Verify that the Auto-accept invitations that do not conflict property is selected for the room with which the Acendo Book panel is
associated. See Appendix C: Conf iguring Google Resources on page 77 for details.
Problem: "Browse Rooms" Button Is Not Displayed On the Group Master
If the master device does not have a Browse Rooms button, then a Member panel has not checked in with the Master panel in the
last 5 minutes.
Possible Solutions
Verify that the Member panels are online and configured with the Scheduling Group Master panel's IP, username, and password.
