Connecting HP Poly Studio A2 devices to Poly Studio X video bars

HP Poly Studio A2 is a next-gen audio solution that brings best-in-class audio, seamless scalability, and effortless setup to conference rooms.

HP Poly Studio A2 provides flexible configuration options that can easily adapt and expand as room requirements grow and change.

When you connect the adapter from the USB Type-A port of the video bar to the corporate network and restart the video bar, the built-in LAN port on the video bar becomes an LLN. The USB Type-A to Ethernet port becomes the primary network. To ensure compatibility, use the approved HP adapter, HP USB 3.0 to Gig RJ-45 Adapter G2 (part number: M91114-001).

Important: Use shielded twisted pair (STP) Ethernet cables between the PoE injector and the HP Poly Studio A2 Audio Bridge device, and between the PoE injector and the Poly video bar.

Notes:

1. You must connect the HP Poly Studio A2 Table Mic devices to the HP Poly Studio A2 Audio Bridge device before connecting the PoE power. If you connect the mics after you power up the audio bridge, the audio bridge doesn’t detect the mics.

2. If using a Poly Studio X32 system, power it up before powering up the HP Poly Studio A2 Audio Bridge device. Once the Poly Studio X32 system starts searching or gets an IP address, power up the HP Poly Studio A2 Audio Bridge device.
