Typical Applications
Here is a typical connection diagram used for the TOGGLE ROOMS device in a videoconferencing setup.
ROOM PC MODE WITH BYOD CONTENT SHARING
In this mode, only the Room PC USB and HDMI connections are routed to the main USB and HDMI peripherals.
The Room PC is the system that is currently selected to the main USB and HDMI peripherals. However, if the user would like to send HDMI content from the laptop's USB-C or HDMI connection to the Room PC, it is possible to do so with the HDMI SHARE output connection.
The user can also initiate a BYOM session on their laptop but a user trigger (front button, INO – BUTTON KIT or API call) needs to be done.
BYOM (BRING YOUR OWN MEETING)
In this setup, the laptop is the system that is currently selected to the main USB and HDMI peripherals.

Operating Modes
Here are the operating modes supported by the device. They will be explained here.
ROOM PC MODE WITH BYOD CONTENT SHARING MODE
This is the default mode. In this mode, only the Room PC USB and HDMI connections are routed to the main USB and HDMI peripherals.
The Room PC is the system that is currently selected to the main USB and HDMI peripherals. However, if the user would like to send HDMI content from the laptop's USB-C or HDMI connection to the Room PC, it is possible to do so with the HDMI SHARE output connection.
The user can also initiate a BYOM session on their laptop but a user trigger (front button, INO – BUTTON KIT or API call) needs to be done.
BYOM MODE
In this mode, the laptop is the system that is automatically selected to the main USB and HDMI peripherals when detected. The Room PC is completely disconnected from the setup. When the laptop gets disconnected, the Room PC takes over until a new laptop is plugged in.
CUSTOM MODE
In this mode, the user can configure the USB and HDMI switching modes independently.
AUTOMATIC
This mode will switch automatically to the last source (USB or HDMI) connected if the operation mode is set to Custom. If the current source is disconnected, the device will switch back to the other source if it is detected. Push-button action and remote control are also supported.
MANUAL
The manual mode will enable you to force a specific source selection. Push-button action and remote control are also supported.
MANUAL WITH FALLBACK
The manual mode with fallback supports the same features as the manual mode. It will only add the possibility to switch to the other detected source connection automatically if the selected source is disconnected.
USB FOLLOWS HDMI
In this mode, the USB host selection depends on the HDMI source selected. If the HDMI display switching mode is set to "Automatic”, the selected USB host will be the one associated to the last detected HDMI display source.
Applicable only on the USB host switching mode.
HDMI FOLLOWS USB
In this mode, the HDMI source selection depends on the USB host selected. If the USB host switching mode is set to "Automatic”, the selected HDMI display source will be the one associated to the last detected USB host.
NOTE: You cannot set "USB follows HDMI” and “HDMI follows USB” modes simultaneously.

Serial Communication Protocol
Here is the complete list of commands provided through the serial connection. As written on the back of the device, here is the pinout of the terminal block.
[Diagram showing pinout: R=T, SW=5V, T=Transmit, GND=Ground]
NOTE: The user needs to put a space character between the command name and argument.
You need to add a carriage return <CR> character and a line feed <LF> character at the end of the command string.
Typically, commands will return "ACK<CR><LF>" in case of success and "NACK<CR><LF>" in case of failure.
Baud rate: 9600 [default] // Data bits: 8 // Stop bits: 1 // Parity: None // Flow control: None
See the "API Commands" section for all the commands available.
TCP TO RS232 TUNNELING
The device can act as a TCP to RS232 bridge over the TCP port 5000. Any data sent/receive on this TCP socket will entirely be presented to the RS232 connection. Enabling this option through the device configuration or API will disable the "Serial communication protocol" of the device.
You can use the PuTTY or Hercules clients to test your device with your equipment.
[Screenshots of PuTTY and Hercules configuration utilities for TCP to RS232 tunneling.]
REST API
You can enable a bearer authentication in the HTTP header (Authorization: Bearer <token>) through our configuration page to increase security on the API.
There will be a return code to each call with the following commands:
- 200 => success
- 400 => error
- 401 => authorization error
The return body will usually be JSON formatted with a "message" field containing a JSON string explaining the cause of the error or “success” in case of success. Note that we are using self-signed certificates.
It is also possible to embed arguments to an API call inside the URL to ease configuration with some control systems with the following topology:
GET https://<IP>/api/v1/<COMMAND>?<ARG1>=value&<ARG2>=value
where <COMMAND>, <ARG1> and <ARG2> are command and associated arguments.
For example, using the usbHost command, you can issue the following request:
GET https://<IP>/api/v1/usbHost?host=1
This request will set the USB host to laptop USB-C port.
The following commands allow to perform password management and bearer token management. By default, no authentication is required to perform action using the REST API. Authentication can be enabled through the embedded webpage or the REST API itself.
>| Command URL / Description | Body arguments | Return body |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP POST https://<IP>/api/v1/ changePassword Change the password to <newPassword>. |
{ "oldPassword": "<oldPassword>", "newPassword": "<newPassword>" } | { "message": <String> } |
| HTTP GET https://<IP>/api/v1/ accessToken Return the bearer token. |
{ "token": <String>, "message": <String> } | |
| HTTP POST https://<IP>/api/v1/ accessToken Generate random access token and activate bearer token authentication for REST API. |
{ "token": <String>, "message": <String> } | |
| HTTP DELETE https://<IP>/api/v1/ accessToken Delete and deactivate bearer token. |
{ "message": <String> } | |
| HTTP GET https://<IP>/api/v1/ accessTokenEn? enable=<number> Activate (1) or Deactivate (0) access token for REST APIss |
{ "message": <String> } |
The bearer token is generated using a random process. The format of the bearer token only supports the following:
- Alphanumeric (A to Z) upper and lowercase characters.
- Numbers 0-9.
See the "API Commands" section for all the commands available.
TELNET
You can use any telnet application to communicate with the device using TCP. Make sure to use the right IP address and port 23.
Use the serial communication protocol to configure the device.
The quit command can be used to ask server for disconnection.
See the "API Commands" section for all the commands available.
API COMMANDS
Here is the list of the RS232 and RESTAPI commands available for the device. The two interfaces share the same API.
TX When command have all body arguments, it will apply the configuration to the device.
RX When command does not have any body arguments or only first argument is provided, it will return information from the device.

OPERATION MODE
- RoomPC + BYOD Content sharing: In this mode, as soon as a laptop is connected, video is routed to HDMI SHARE OUT. USB devices are not switched to the laptop to avoid disrupting video calls on RoomPC. A user trigger (front button, INO – BUTTON KIT, or API call) is needed to initiate a BYOM session.
- BYOM: In this mode, switching between RoomPC and BYOM is automatic upon host detection.
- Custom mode: In this mode, USB, HDMI display, and HDMI share switching modes can be independently controlled.
USB
USB configuration
- User can select the USB host.
- USB-C 4K60 support: You can turn ON/OFF 4K60 support over USB-C. Enabling 4K60 support disables USB3.0 over USB-C, leaving only USB2.0 active.
USB devices power control
- This control allows you to turn ON/OFF USB power on each port depending on the host selected.
- This can be useful when the unit is connected to a Room PC system that supports BYOM.
VIDEO
Video inputs
- HDCP: Can be turned ON/OFF and the appropriate HDCP version can be set.
- EDID mode: Can report EDID information based on the actual display, using preset EDIDs, or a user EDID that can be uploaded to the device.
Video outputs
- User can select the video source to be shown on the specified output.
CEC DISPLAY CONTROL
- Power: Can turn ON/OFF the connected display.
- Volume: Can send volume UP/DOWN commands.
- Can send toggle mute command.
- Automatic CEC power: Device can automatically send power ON/OFF commands to the display when selected video sources are detected or not.

TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION
Here is the troubleshooting section for the device.
>| Problem | Resolution |
|---|---|
| My laptop is not charging using my USB-C cable. | Check if the cable is rated to support USB-C power delivery. Also check if the cable used is among the ones that we already support. Visit https://inogeni.com/product/toggle-rooms/ for the complete list. Make also sure that tour BIOS and your system chipset drivers are up to date. |
| The device does not automatically switch USB host and HDMI source. | By default, the device is operating in “RoomPC with BYOD / content sharing" mode to avoid disruption of a current video meeting. See “Operation mode” API to properly set the operation you need. |
| My device is switching HDMI video slowly. | If your EDID mode is set to “passthrough”, the device is handshaking the EDID from the connected display to the source. This will take some time. To minimize video switching time, it is recommended to configure the EDID mode of the video sources to a preset EDID (e.g. 1080p60). |
| The Maestro software is not able to detect my device. | You are connected to Toggle Rooms through the laptop connections (USB-C or USB-B/HDMI), please make sure the laptop is selected by using the front “LAPTOP HOSTS THE MEETING” button. When laptop is selected, this button will light up. The Maestro software will connect to the device through USB, this is why the device is not detected if the host is not properly selected. |
