CHAPTER 3: System

Configuration

ClearOne’s G-Ware software provides an easy interface for configuring and controlling your PSR1212. While some configuration can be done using the front panel LCD menus, G-Ware is required to complete the custom configuration of your audio conferencing system. If you are using the default settings, no configuration is necessary.

This chapter describes how to install G-Ware and create a site. It also describes all configurable parameters of your system. These descriptions are designed to be used as a guide as you make adjustments for your particular installation. It is not necessary to configure all parameters.
