Connect an IAdea room booking panel
Power an IAdea room booking panel over PoE+, launch the Offision player, and pair it with its six-character registration code. Covers WRP-1000 and XDS-1078-A9 models and built-in HID card decoding.
Connect an IAdea room booking panel in three steps: supply PoE+ power, launch the Offision player on the panel, and enter its six-character registration code in the management console.
You can run the player as the installed Android app or in the built-in browser. Install the Offision Android app if you need the built-in card reader, side LED light bars, front-camera face verification, or offline video caching. See Run the player as an app or in the browser.
Supported IAdea models
- Certified models: WRP-1000 and XDS-1078-A9.
- Power: 802.3at PoE+ (XDS-1078-A9 also supports 802.3af PoE in eco mode).
- Network: Wired Ethernet with access to your Offision server.
Built-in card reader and HID facility code decoding
The WRP-1000 includes a built-in RFID card reader centered below the screen:
- HID facility code decoding: Instead of returning only a raw chip serial number (CSN), the WRP-1000 decodes HID Global facility codes and card numbers. If your staff directory already stores printed HID badge numbers, the panel matches those numbers directly.
- Hardware variants: The WRP-1000-A reads 13.56 MHz cards. The WRP-1000-H reads both 13.56 MHz and 125 kHz HID cards. Order the matching part number up front, because reader hardware cannot be upgraded by firmware.
1. Connect PoE+ power and Ethernet
Mount the panel outside the room and plug in a PoE+ Ethernet cable. The panel starts Android and gets an IP address over DHCP.
2. Launch the Offision player on the panel
When starting a new IAdea panel, choose one of two ways to launch the player:
- Android app (recommended): Install the Offision APK on the panel and open it. See Install the app on an IAdea panel.
- Browser mode: Tap the screen while PAUSE is shown, set the network and time zone, choose Set content, and enter the player URL:
https://app.offision.com/player
Once the player loads, the screen displays a six-character registration code.
3. Select IAdea in the pairing wizard
- In the management console, go to Devices › Booking panel › Devices and click Add.
- Select Room booking panel and choose the room.
- Under Certified devices, click IAdea panels.
Select IAdea panels in the Certified devices grid.
4. Enter the six-character registration code
In the Connect step, enter the six-character code shown on the panel screen. The wizard submits automatically when you enter the sixth character.
Enter the six-character registration code from the panel screen.
After pairing, change the panel’s default 0000 settings pass code before mounting it outside a room. See Connect a booking panel to Offision and Set a device pass code.
5. Verify status, light bars, and card check-in
The panel loads the room schedule within a few seconds, and its row in Devices › Booking panel › Devices turns online within a minute.
Confirm that the paired IAdea panel shows as online in the device list.
Book a test meeting to confirm that the screen and side LED light bars change color. If you use card check-in, tap an enrolled badge on the front reader to verify check-in.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Panel does not power on | Confirm that the switch port supplies 802.3at PoE+ power (or enable eco mode on XDS-1078-A9 for 802.3af). |
| Panel starts but cannot reach Offision | Check DHCP IP assignment and outbound access to your Offision server. See Put Offision devices on a locked-down network. |
| Screen shows a browser start page with no code | Confirm that the saved URL ends with /player, or launch the installed Offision Android app. |
| Registration code is rejected | The code refreshes if the panel restarts or reconnects. Enter the code currently displayed on the panel. |
| Card tap does nothing | Confirm that the Offision Android app is running instead of browser mode. For HID cards, confirm that the panel is a WRP-1000-H. |
| HID card returns a long chip serial number | The card was tapped on an external USB reader instead of the built-in front reader. Only the built-in reader decodes HID facility codes. |
What this setup does not cover
- Android system settings: Screen brightness, network configuration, and kiosk startup settings are managed in IAdea’s own Android menus.
- Face verification: The front camera supports face check-in when enabled in your check-in settings. See Identify at the booking panel.
