After the administrator installs and configures the codec, you can power it on using the adapter supplied with the device. You can power Avaya Room System C130 using PoE or plug the power adapter into a power outlet. You can power Avaya Room System C170 and Avaya Room System C190 by plugging the power adapter and turning on the power switch.

Before using codec capabilities, study the state descriptions for the status indicator on the front panel at Indicator status. The status indicator helps to check if the codec operation is normal and detect potential issues. To access codec features more easily, study remote control button functions and shortcuts at Remote control.

If you are not actively using the codec, you can put it into Standby mode. If there is an issue and the codec is stuck at a certain operation, you can power off and restart it. For more information about codec troubleshooting, see Installing and Administering Avaya Room System C100 Series.
