Mago Room Management Console

Overview

The Mago Room Management Console is a key part of the Mago ecosystem and an account should be set up for every organisation deploying Mago Room. 

This allows the customer to remotely manage their Mago Room systems, update software and identify & resolve issues before they become problems in the meeting rooms.

Creating an Account

Prior to installing Mago Room and activating the licence, create an admin account on the Mago Management Console.

This will allow you to download the latest version of software and manage the Mago Room once the installation is complete.

Visit https://admin.mago.io/ to create your account.

A email will be sent to confirm your account details.  Follow the instructions on the email to activate your account.

Adding Licences to the Mago Console

Once your account is created, add your licences to the portal to enable management and analytics of your Mago Rooms.  Do this prior to installing Mago Room on your systems.

Go to the Licences section of the Mago Console.  Click Add Licence

Enter the licence information and Submit.  Once the licence is activated, the Mago Room will be shown in the Rooms section of the Console.

Installing Mago Room Software

You can now download the Mago Room software.  The quickest way to access the latest software release is via the Mago Management Console.

Log into the Console, go to Downloads and select Mago Room Production version.

On the host PC, run the .exe file to install the software and run the setup Wizard.

The below checklist gives you all the information you need to configure Mago Room v5 or above.

Prior to installing Mago Room, we strongly recommend that you read the Mago Room Knowledgebase (https://kb.mago.io) for detailed pre-requisites of hardware and software. 

* Google Resources can only be configured if you have a full, paid account and administrator login to Google Workspaces.  A Gmail address is not sufficient.

** If O365 calendar is used, Teams will be the default client.  If Webex, GoogleMeet, Zoom are required to host instant meetings, each must be set up with a free account

*** If host PC does not support Bluetooth Proximity, please disable this feature in Mago Room setup
