LET'S GET STARTED
Before you begin, make sure that you have:
- Your credentials or the activation code for a new meeting room.
- Zoom Rooms, MS Teams, or Ringcentral are currently supported
- A wall-mount or cart that supports the VESA pattern and weight associated with your CollabTouch Avocor display solution.
- Our Mounting Solutions article should have all of the information you need for this, including recommend mounts, guidelines, and relevant specs for your chosen display solution.
Now, unpack the Logitech Rally Bar, Logitech TV Mount for Video Bars, and the CollabTouch accessory kit from the Avocor Accessory box.
Unclip and remove the top of the Avocor Interactive Display box, and peel down the plastic covers so that the top, back, and side-access connection panels are accessible. Leave the display here, secured in the bottom tray of the carton, while assembling and connecting the CollabTouch components.

MOUNT THE LOGITECH TV MOUNT FOR VIDEO BARS TO THE DISPLAY
Please follow the instructions provided in the Logitech TV Mount for Video Bars Setup Guide to properly attach your TV mount to the VESA pattern of the Avocor display, at this time.
- NOTE: it is not recommended to mount the Logitech Rally Bar to the display at this time; to ensure component integrity and personal safety, it's best to mount the Rally Bar after you have mounted the Avocor display to your preferred solution.
CONNECT AND ROUTE THE CUSTOM VIDEO/TOUCH/ETHERNET CABLE
Your CollabTouch kit includes a custom cable for video, touch, and ethernet for easy connectivity to your Avocor display. Additionally, we included adhesive anchors and zip-ties for optimal cable routing.
- NOTE: if you are mounting your Avocor display to a wall, enclosure, or other solution where the back panel will not be easily accessible, it's best to complete the cable routing step prior to mounting the display.
- Ensure you leave enough cable length at the top so that the cable connectors can properly seat into the Rally Bar*.
- *DISMOUNT THE RALLY BAR FROM THE LOGITECH TV MOUNT PRIOR TO LIFTING AND HANDLING THE AVOCOR DISPLAY TO PREVENT COMPONENT DAMAGE.
- Ensure you leave enough cable length at the top so that the cable connectors can properly seat into the Rally Bar*.
- Please consider your mounting choice when routing your custom video/touch/ethernet cable. You'll generally want to try to keep the cable clear of the VESA mounting pattern on the display to ensure that the cable does not get damaged by your mounting gear upon installation.
- For the AVE-6530, AVE-7530, and AVE-8630 displays, you'll need to connect the provided USB Type-B to Type-A adapter to the USB Type-B end of the custom cable.
MOUNT THE AVOCOR DISPLAY & RALLY BAR
After you have completed the prior steps and are ready to mount your display, please follow the below steps in order to ensure personal safety and prevent potential damage to components.
