Preventing toll fraud

"Toll fraud" is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system by an unauthorized party (for example, a
person who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf). Be
aware that there can be a risk of toll fraud associated with your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in
substantial additional charges for your telecommunications services.

Avaya fraud intervention

If you suspect that you are being victimized by toll fraud and you need technical assistance or support, call
Technical Service Center Toll Fraud Intervention Hotline at [phone] for the United States

and Canada. For additional support telephone numbers, see the Avaya Support Web site:

Preparing for Installation

As you prepare to install an Avaya video communications system, consider the physical
conditions of the room, compatibility with displays and your network configuration and
settings. Avaya recommends you collect your network settings and system identification
information before you begin installation. Refe r to “Initial Configuration” on page 6, which
explains what information you need to collect and provides space to record it.

Room Configuration

The size, shape, layout and occupancy of the room dictate where you place your video
conferencing components. For example, in a mu lti- us er con fer e nce ro om , pla ce an Avaya
Video MicPod 1000 or A vaya V ideo Conference Phone 1000 at the center of the p articipan ts
as their detection patterns are omnidirectional.

Warning: Avoid routing cables from the codec across foot-traffic areas as tripping on
the cables can cause both personal injury and permanent damage to the connectors in
the cables and codec. If cables must cross foot-traffic areas, use some form of cable
management system or strategy to avoid the possibility of tripping.

The lighting in your environment affects image quality. The optimal lighting for Avaya
systems is 300 to 500 LUX. If light levels are too low, consider adding artificial lighting.
Indirect light from shaded sources or reflected light from p ale walls of ten produces excellent
results. Avoid the following:

• direct sunlight on the subject matter, the background, or the camera lens

• direct illumination of the subject matter and camera lens

• colored lighting

• harsh side lighting or strong light from above
Consult your administrator for specific ligh tin g re qu ire m ents for your en vir on m en t.

Supported Display Types and Resolutions

Avaya video communications systems connect to HD displays (720p minimum), including:

• Plasma, LCD, and LED flat panel displays

• Large screen rear projection TV displays (720p/1080p displays)

• Front projection displays

• Rear projector A/V room configurations
Supported display resolutions include the following:
Display 1:

• 1280 x 720p60

• 1280 x 768p60

• 1920 x 1080p30

• 1920 x 1080i60
Display 2:

• 1280 x 720p60

• 1280 x 768p60

• 1920 x 1080p30

• 1920 x 1080i60
The primary output of Avaya 1050 defaults to 720p60 and will work with any 720p HDMI

display. To learn how to change the resolution for 1080 HDMI displays, refer to “Changing
Display Resolution” on page 18.

Note: The Display 1 Resolution and Display 2 Resolution preferences in

Administrator Preferences : Appearance : Displays default to Auto if you select

an option for these preferences that is not supported by the connected display. For
more information about troubleshooting exceptions to this behavior and changing
display resolution, refer to “Changing Display Resolution” on page 18.

Avaya recommends using a dual display configuration for presentations.
Note: If the resolutions are not the same, Display 2 will be limited to displaying

presentations and will not be able to mirror the primary display or display calls. For
more information, see “Configuring a Second Display” on page19.

Placement Behind a Firewall

Avaya recommends that you place your system b ehind a firewall and block, a t minimum, the
following ports:

• 22 (SSH)

• 23 (Telnet)

• 80 (HTTP)

• 443 (HTTPS)
If you require these ports to remain open, ensure that you change the default administrator

and command line interface passwords to be very secure. For information about changing
the default administrator password, refer to “Changing the Administrator Password” in the
Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide.

You can also disable SSH and web access on the system by configuring preferences in the
user interface. By default, Telnet access is disabled. For more information, refer to the
Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide.

Network Bandwidth

Poor audio and video quality may result from insufficient bandwidth on your network. Avaya
recommends that your network be capable of at least 1 Mb/s (incoming and outgoing) for a
high definition video call. During video calls with lower bandwidths, Avaya systems
automatically select the best resolution that can be achieved with the available bandwidth.

Initial Configuration

During the installation process, your Avaya system prompts you to configure it for the first
time. Avaya recommends that you gather all the necessary information prior to installation.
The following sections provide guidelines for collecting and a means of recording this data.
You may need to consult your network administrator for network settings and system
identification information.

Note: The initial configuration screens also appear when you perform a system reset. For

more information, refer to “Restoring Default Settings” in the Avaya Video
Communications Systems Administrator Guide.

Language

You can select the language to display in the user interface. The default is English.

Avaya 1050 Installation Guide 6

Administrator and User Passwords

Some functions and preferences available from the user interface are accessible only to
administrative users with a password. For security reasons, Avaya recommends that you
change the default administrator password (1 2 3 4) during the initial configuration.

Optionally, you can set a user password to control access to user preferences that enable
the user to do the following:

• Change the appearance of the user interface.

• Specify how calls are answered.

• Configure audio settings.

• Change cameras and DVI-I input settings.

• Reboot the system.
The administrator and user passwords can con tain any combination of the numbers 0- 9 and

the symbols * (star) and # (pound) up to 16 characters in length.
Note: If you set a user password, you can also use the administrator password to access

user preferences.
Administrator Password: ________________________________________________
User Password: _______________________________________________________

7 Avaya 1050 Installation Guide

System Identification

Information that identifies the system to users appears throughout the user interface.
Set the Location preference to your location. The default is the United States. The Time

Zone preference sets the system time that appears in the status bar on the main page of the
user interface. It defaults to Greenwich Mean T i me. You must set this preference even if you
specify an NTP server during the initial configuration (refer to “Network Settin gs” on page 9).

The System Name, Video Number, and Voice Number appear in the user interface on the
main screen. The system name may also appear in the local and corporate directories.
Avaya recommends that you change the default system name to one that meaningfully
identifies the system to your users.

System Name: (to identify this installation in the network): _______________________
Video Number: ______________________________________________ __________
Phone Number: ________________________________________________________
