Adding and Connecting Kleeo Devices

How to add and connect Kleeo desk booking managers to a Biamp Workplace organization.

 

Preparation

Requirements

  • You must be on site. Adding Kleeo desk manager devices to your organization and connecting them to Desk resources in the system must take place onsite where the Kleeo devices are installed.
  • An active Biamp Workplace account with an active administrator role in the Workplace organization you will be adding and connecting Kleeo devices in. 
  • An NFC-enabled mobile phone with the Biamp Workplace Booking mobile app installed on it.
    • Near Field Communications (NFC) is a common feature in major mobile phone brands. Lists of NFC-enabled devices can be found online.
  • We recommend bringing a laptop with Biamp Workplace on it for viewing the administration console of the organization you will be adding Kleeo to. Specifically to verify the connection on the admin side.
  • Desks should already be listed in the organization as resources. You will be connecting each of those organization desks resources to the hardware Kleeo devices to link them in the system.
