Initial Setup
After unpacking the FLX2 Conferencing System, there are a few initial setup tasks that must be performed before a call can take place or any system configuration can be changed.

Please contact your reseller to purchase the additional PoE power injector. The Base Station offers additional optional connections that are only being used when the FLX2 System for example is connected to a video conferencing unit or a recording device. The cables required for these connections are not included with the FLX2 system and need to be purchased separately.
