Extron Electronics’ Room Agent version 1.1. software which turns TouchLink Pro touch panels into full-featured room booking appliances is now available.

The system’s Room Agent feature displays a room’s meeting information and availability. 

The touch panels require no programming, as they simply become a client of the existing Microsoft Exchange server.

The latest version of Room Agent software offers new features including a new Scheduling Activity File for capturing events from each meeting room for convenient analysis, a Check-In button that confirms attendance for the scheduled meeting, support for 23 languages, and more. With Room Agent, booking a room from the touch panel is as easy as tapping the ‘Reserve’ button. The intuitive interface also provides at-a-glance room availability and a timeline view of the room’s status for the rest of the day.

In addition to the customisable touch panel interface, bright LEDs within the bezel provide at-a-glance room availability status even from down the hall.

“Since its launch last spring, Extron Room Scheduling has simplified the room booking experience, worldwide,” says Extron vice president of sales Casey Hall.

“This new version of Room Agent makes things even easier by adding more tools, speeding up installation, and enhancing language support.”

Room Agent makes setting up TouchLink Pro touch panels a snap. Simply connect the touchpanel to your computer, open the software, fill in the required fields that compose the user interface, and you’re done. Customisation options allow fields to be shown or hidden, depending on user preference. Multiple mounting options are available, including on-wall, in-wall, as well as secure mounting to almost any flat surface, including glass or granite.
