Easily check the status and schedule the use of shared desk space with the Crestron DSS-100 Desk Scheduling Status Indicator. The DSS-100 can be mounted to the underside of a desk or similar flat surface or placed on top, providing a clear indication of availability with its integrated tricolor LEDs.
A custom scheduling placard is generated and installed that includes a unique QR code linking directly to the desk schedule and reserve functions. The DSS-100 also integrates with a variety of third-party scheduling partners via the XiO Cloud service.
XiO Cloud Service
An active XiO Cloud account is required to commission the DSS-100 or to authorize a scheduling partner. The DSS-100 works exclusively with the XiO Cloud service, which is an IoT (Internet of Things) based platform for remotely provisioning, monitoring, and managing Crestron devices across an enterprise or an entire client base. XiO Cloud is built on the Microsoft Azure software platform and utilizes Microsoft's industry leading Azure IoT Hub technology. XiO Cloud enables installers and IT managers to deploy and manage thousands of devices simultaneously. Unlike other virtual machine based cloud solutions, Azure services provide unlimited scalability to suit the ever growing needs of an enterprise.
Crestron Device Assistant Setup
Device setup occurs entirely through the Crestron Device Assistant mobile application for Apple iPhone and Android OS devices over Bluetooth communications. After a BLE connection has been established, the Crestron Device Assistant app claims the device into the XiO Cloud service and places it on the Wi-Fi network in only a few simple steps.
Integrated LEDs
The DSS-100 provides an integrated LED ring that gives visual indication of the desk availability as part of a complete enterprise scheduling solution. The tricolor LEDs can illuminate solidly, flash, or breathe to indicate the desk availability. The LED behavior is controlled by the scheduling partner.
Single-Wire USB Power
Power is supplied to the DSS-100 by a single USB cable. A 6' USB-A to USB-C cable is included with the device that connects to a USB power source. Wire saddles and tie wraps are also included to neatly route the cable from the power source to the device.
Custom Scheduling Placards
Custom scheduling placards must be created for each reservable desk that is associated with a DSS-100. Each custom scheduling placard contains the name of the desk and a QR code that opens the schedule and reservation functions for that desk on a mobile device. Custom scheduling placards are generated within the scheduling partner account and can be printed locally or ordered via a partnership with the MOO online printing service. A removable tray allows the placards to be easily installed into or removed from the DSS-100.
