All Neat devices run Neat OS, a hardened and secure firmware locked to work with Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams.

Neat Pad is a simple and elegant touch screen you can configure as a controller inside any meeting room or use as a scheduling display outside any meeting room. Neat Pad is included with Neat Bar but can be paired with any Zoom Rooms or Microsoft Teams Room system, eliminating the need for an iPad, or other consumer-grade tablets. Thanks to just one Power over Ethernet cable, Neat Pad never runs out of battery either. It’s always on, ready for you to leap into action.

Detailed specifications for Neat Pad can be found on our website on Neat Pad Specifications.

You can also find more information through the Explore the technology interactive menu.

Neat Pad includes a wall-mount and side mount, so it’s easy for anyone to install and set up. Use the wall mount to fix Neat Pad to the wall as a controller in your meeting room or scheduling display outside your meeting room. Apply the side mount to attach Neat Pad to your doorframe or mullion.

Yes. The Neat Bar ships with a Neat Pad and both will need to be paired together to operate as a complete Zoom Room device.

When installing a Neat Bar with its dedicated Neat Pad, choose the setup: ‘Set up Neat Bar with controller’.

You can also buy additional Neat Pads to work as either extra Zoom Room Controller or Zoom Room Schedular (however, these do not need to be paired with a Neat Bar at the Neat level). If you are using the Neat Pad as an extra controller either for a Neat Bar/Neat Board or a 3rd party Zoom Room system, choose the setup ‘Add a controller’. To use Neat Pad as a Schedular, choose the ‘Add a schedular’ option.

Neat Bar and Neat Pad need to be on the same subnet to be able to find each other and pair together. In most cases, pairing problems occur because the Bar and Pad are not connected to the same subnet (and are unable to send/receive multicast packets between each other). For example, if you have connected your Bar to wired network, but Pad on Wi-Fi network, it is possible they are on two different networks in your company.

Please see Neat’s network and firewall requirements guide for further understanding of this topic.

A quick way to find out if you are in the same network is by finding the IP address and subnet mask of both Neat Pad (through the Pad settings) and Neat Bar (press the reset button once at the back of the Bar). If you are not familiar with IP addressing, please reach out to your Network administrator for confirmation, or email Neat’s technical support team at support@neat.no.

The short answer is no. The Neat Board is a self-sufficient Zoom Room or Microsoft Teams room device with touch screen so all the setup can be done directly on your Neat Board, without the need of a Neat Pad. This is unlike a Neat Bar, which requires a Neat Pad to configure it.

However, you have the option to purchase additional Neat Pad(s) and set them up as a controller or scheduler for your room. For example, you may have a large meeting room and do not want to walk to the Neat Board every time you want to join/leave/mute the meeting and instead would like to have a Neat Pad on a desk closer to your participants. You can then buy a Neat Pad and choose the setup ‘Add a controller’ to use with the Neat Board. Similarly, you can use the Neat Pad as a Scheduler for your meeting room as well.

All Neat devices run Neat OS, a hardened and secure firmware that is locked to the Zoom Room and Microsoft Teams Room software.

Yes! All Neat devices support Wi-Fi and are compatible with both 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. Users can choose the Wi-Fi option during the setup process. For more information, please see the article Wi-Fi support on Neat devices.

All Neat devices support Wi-Fi, and are compatible with both 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. Users can choose the Wi-Fi option during the setup process. For Neat Bar and Neat Pad, the Wi-Fi configuration is done through the Neat Pad during the initial setup and pairing process. For a step-by-step guide on how to configure Wi-Fi on a Bar and Pad, please see the article: How to connect Neat Bar and Neat Pad over Wi-Fi

The Zoom Rooms activation code is in your Zoom portal. If you’ve already added the meeting room to your Zoom account, scroll down to that room name in the Zoom Portal to find your activation code.

The Zoom software and Neat firmware versions for both Neat Bar and Neat Pad can be viewed from the Neat Pad.

On your Neat Pad, navigate to Settings (lower left corner) -> About. The Zoom software version numbers will be displayed on the right (e.g. “5.5.0”). In most circumstances the Neat firmware versions (called “Controller Firmware Version” for the Pad and “Zoom Rooms Firmware Version” for the Bar) will be displayed in a format like “NFA1.20210213.0033”.

To check Neat firmware and serial numbers, go to Settings -> General on your Neat Pad. Next to it, there will be an option called ‘System Settings’. Click on this and enter the Room’s passcode*. Then navigate to Systems Settings -> System -> About -> Neat Pad and Neat Bar serial numbers and firmware versions.  (If you do not see Neat Bar listed here, it is quite likely your Neat Bar and Neat Pad are not paired)

*Note: The room passcode is configured in the Zoom portal. To access it, login to Zoom portal using Administrator’s account and navigate to Room management -> Zoom Rooms-> find your Zoom room and click ‘Edit’ next to its name -> Rooms profile and search for ‘Room Passcode’. By default, this is set to 00000 or 012345.

No. To ensure that it’s always ready for you to jump into meetings or share content, Neat Pad has been purpose-built as a reliable always-on device. This means that it relies on either PoE (Power over Ethernet) where available or a AC injector (supplied in the box) for power. However, it is able to join both Wi-Fi or wired networks.

Yes. The Neat Pad can be connected to a third-party Zoom Rooms system to replace an iPad and other off the shelf controllers. With Neat Pad as your Zoom Rooms controller you no longer have to worry about individual iOS updates. Its integrated ultrasonic speaker ensures wireless content sharing works every time. And with an upcoming software release, Neat Pad will enable you to manage everything directly from the Zoom Portal.

Turn on Neat Pad and choose ‘Add controller’ to configure Neat Pad as a controller for any Zoom Room. Our setup wizard visually guides you through the simple steps for setup. From Neat Pad, you can sign in to your Zoom account or pair using a Zoom Room activation code. Within minutes you’ll be completely set up and ready for action.

No. Neat Pad connects to your calendaring system through Zoom so that you can reserve a meeting room directly from your calendaring system. However, with Neat Pad configured as a scheduling display, you can also book the room directly from Neat Pad without having to go through your desktop calendaring system.

No. Neat Pad’s built-in microphones leverage Neat Audio Processing which is not supported by third-party Zoom Rooms systems. Neat Pad’s built-in microphones will be supported with Neat Bar after an upcoming software release

You can clean the screen of a Neat Board or a Neat Pad with any cleaning agent that is meant for PC screens. The panel consists of glass, so any alcoholic cleaner like isopropyl sanitiser should do the job. For the rest of the product, a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild detergent should work.

Yes. Kensington lock can be added to Neat Pad by attaching the wall adaptor to Neat Pad to secure.
