Chapter 1: About the XT Series

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series is a set of dedicated videoconferencing endpoints which incorporate
state-of-the-art video technology for high definition (HD) conferencing. You can also locally host
videoconferences with the built-in MCU on most XT Series models. The XT Series seamlessly
works with a wide variety of endpoints, including H.323, SIP, Scopia® Desktop Clients, Scopia
Mobile devices, and ISDN endpoints (via Scopia® 100 Gateway).

®

Figure 1: XT Series products

This section provides an overview of the general features and capabilities available in the XT Series:

• Excellent video quality, with resolutions of up to 1080p at an unprecedented 60 frames per
second (fps), depending on the model.

• Support for dual HD video streams, allowing PC presentations to be shared alongside video
from the camera in resolutions of up to 1080p at 60fps, depending on the model.

• Quickly and seamlessly share content on your computer with other endpoints.

• DVD-quality audio with up to 48 kHz sampling rate audio encoding capability, depending on the
model. The sampling rate is a measure of the accuracy of the audio when it is digitized. The XT
Series endpoints are shipped with different microphones depending on the model. You can add
dedicated Microphone Pods or additional analog microphones if required.

About the XT Series

• High quality video and audio even with limited bandwidth or poor network conditions, by using
these compression methods (in addition to standard H.263 and H.264):

- H.264 Scalable Video Coding Technology (SVC) in point-to-point calls. SVC extends the H.
264 codec standard to dramatically increase error resiliency and video quality without the
need for higher bandwidth.

- H.264 High Profile is a standard for compressing video by up to 25% over the H.264
Baseline Profile, enabling high definition calls to be held over lower call speeds. It requires
both sides of the transmission (sending and receiving endpoints) to support this protocol.

- H.265 supersedes H.264 as a compression standard, allowing high quality calls with even
lower bandwidth consumption (XT7000 Series only).

- NetSense is a proprietary Scopia® Solution technology which optimizes the video quality
according to the available bandwidth to minimize packet loss. As the available bandwidth of
a connection varies depending on data traffic, NetSense's sophisticated algorithm
dynamically scans the video stream, and then reduces or improves the video resolution to
maximize quality with the available bandwidth.

• Ability to record videoconferences to a locally connected USB drive or the network (may
require license, depending on the model).

You can only record to the network if your Scopia® Solution includes a recording server, the XT
Series is managed by Scopia® Management, and the meeting is hosted by an external
Scopia® Elite MCU (or an older model).

• For an even better experience, Scopia® Control enables you to remotely control the XT Series
features using the intuitive touch interface of an Apple® iPad® (may require license, depending
on the model).

• Secure point-to-point video calls and videoconferences, via encrypted connections or using
TLS certificates. You can have up to three remote encrypted participants in a videoconference.

Important:

Using encryption is subject to local regulation. In some countries it is restricted or limited
for usage. For more information, consult your local reseller.

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series includes the following models:

• Avaya Scopia® XT7000 Series

Designed for top performance and quality, the XT7000 Series offers excellent video quality
(1080p video at 60 frames per second) while saving on bandwidth costs. With the new H.265
video compression standard, you can have the same high quality video while consuming less
bandwidth (up to 50%, relative to endpoints with H.264 High Profile).

For unparalleled large room coverage, you can connect two PTZ cameras and two 3-way
Microphone Pods. The 3-way Microphone Pod provides superb signal-to-noise ratios, which
isolates speakers' voices over background noise and gives a crisp high quality sound.

Figure 2: Avaya Scopia® XT7000 Series

• Avaya Scopia® XT5000 Series

With HD video resolution of up to 1080p video at 60 frames per second (fps), the XT5000 sets
the standard for an exceptional videoconferencing experience, and is designed for easy setup
and control.

The 3-way Microphone Pod provides superb signal-to-noise ratios, which isolates speakers'
voices over background noise and gives a crisp high quality sound. You can also add a second
microphone for unparalleled large room coverage.

The XT5000 720 provides HD video resolution of 720p at 60 fps and 5x optical zoom, with the
option to upgrade to 1080p at 60fps and 10x optical zoom.

Comparing Between XT Series Models

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series SMB Edition allows you to host videoconferences with a variety
of different endpoints on your chosen XT Series model: Scopia® XT Desktop clients, Scopia
Mobile clients, H.323, SIP, and ISDN (via Scopia® 100 Gateway) endpoints.

It includes the software of the Scopia® XT Desktop server which must be deployed in the DMZ.

Important:

If your license allows nine participants, you can include up to eight remote endpoints.

About the Built-In MCU

About the Built-In MCU

You can use your Avaya Scopia® XT Series to join a videoconference hosted on an external MCU,
like the Scopia® Elite MCU, or you can host a meeting on the built-in MCU if available.

An MCU, or Multipoint Control Unit, connects several endpoints to a single videoconference. It
manages the audio mixing and creates the video layouts, adjusting the output to suit each
endpoint's capabilities.

Figure 8: Hosting a videoconference on the XT Series

You can add a license to most XT Series models to activate the built-in MCU to host
videoconferences locally (see Activating the XT Series and its Optional Features on page 78):

• MCU4 can host videoconferences with up to four participants (one local, three remote).

• MCU9 can host videoconferences with up to nine participants (one local, eight remote).

Important:

The Scopia® XT Executive and Avaya Scopia® XT4300 can host up to four participants.

The embedded MCU can mix standard definition and HD endpoints in the same meeting, without
one impacting on the other. The built-in MCU also supports both wide-screen (16:9) and standard
formats (4:3), incorporating them seamlessly into the video layout.

While generating the video layout, the built-in MCU must shrink each participant's image to fit the
layout. So while the composite video layout remains in HD, each participant's image within the
layout can reach a maximum resolution of 448p.

When using the XT Series as an MCU only, not participating locally, we recommend blocking the
audio and video input from this XT Series during the meeting.

For the best experience when using the Avaya Scopia® XT Series MCU Edition, we recommend
activating the license known as High Bandwidth Option (12Mbps total for all participants) to avoid

Chapter 2: Initial Workflow for Deploying

the Avaya Scopia® XT Series

About this task

To safely set up and perform the required initial settings to start using the Avaya Scopia® XT Series,
follow the recommended workflow described below.

Procedure

1. Decide how to incorporate the XT Series into your deployment, as described in

Topology of the Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment on page 24.

For example, decide whether to enable license options such as a built-in MCU, where to
deploy the XT Series, and the ports to open.

2. Read the safety information booklet. Check the XT Series to verify that no shipping damage
occurred, as described in

3. Decide where to place your XT Series, depending on the room setup (see Planning the

Optimal Room Setup on page 42).

4. To quickly connect your XT Series, refer to the Quick Setup Guide for Avaya Scopia® XT
Series. For more detailed information, see
which includes:

• Connect the XT Series to the network.

• Connect monitors if it is used as an endpoint (the Scopia® XT Executive has a built-in
monitor).

• Connect microphones and loudspeakers if it is used as an endpoint (the Scopia® XT
Executive uses a built-in microphone and monitor speakers).

• Connect cameras if used as an endpoint (the Scopia® XT Executive uses a built-in
camera).

5. Choose if you want to remotely control your XT Series (Controlling the XT Series on
page 68). To use the XT Remote Control Unit, first connect a monitor (

Monitors to the XT Series on page 47). Otherwise, use the web interface to control the

system (see Accessing XT Series Web Interface on page 75).

Checking the Product Shipment on page 21.

Setting Up the XT Series Hardware on page 42,

Connecting

Planning the

6. Register your license to activate the XT Series (see Activating the XT Series and its Optional

Features on page 78).

Without a license key to activate the product, you can only use the system in preview mode
for 30 days.

22 Avaya Scopia

7. Get started with the basic configuration to use the XT Series, as described in Initial

Configuration of the XT Series on page 78, including running the quick setup wizard, and

defining network settings.

8. (Recommended) You can prevent users from altering advanced settings by changing the
default administrator PIN code, and you can optionally set a user PIN code to protect basic
settings too (see

Setting PIN Codes for the XT Series on page 156).

To change the default login settings for the XT Series web interface, see

Securing Web

Access to the XT Series on page 157.

9. If your XT Series is an endpoint, not just a server, configure your camera and microphone
settings, as described in:

• Configuring Cameras on page 100

•

Configuring Microphones on page 104

10. If necessary for your deployment, configure your advanced network and call settings, as
described in Configuring Advanced Network Settings on page 116. This includes, for
example:

• Setting the IP address

• Configuring the system in a SIP deployment

• Configuring call settings

• Enabling NAT and Firewall Traversal

• Registering the system with the gatekeeper

• Configuring the system to use an LDAP directory

For more information about deployment setups, see

Planning the Topology of the Avaya

Scopia® XT Series Deployment on page 24 and the Avaya Scopia® Solution Guide.

11. (Optional) If necessary for your organization, you can secure videoconference sessions via
encrypted connections and TLS certificates (see

Securing your XT Series on page 156).

Important:

Using encryption is subject to local regulation. In some countries it is restricted or limited
for usage. For more information, consult your local reseller.

12. If your deployment includes Scopia® Management, you can set up remote monitoring and
management of the XT Series using SNMP messages to send alerts to a central SNMP
server (see Sending Status with SNMP on page 151)..

13. You can remotely backup and restore the XT Series configurations via Scopia
Management, as described in

Enabling System Logs and Remote Initialization on page 175,

®

or use the same configuration files to duplicate the same settings across multiple endpoints
in an organization.

14. To update your software, see

Updating the XT Series on page 153. Some upgrades require

an updated license.

Chapter 3: Planning the Topology of the

Avaya Scopia® XT Series
Deployment

There are a number of ways that the Avaya Scopia® XT Series can be deployed in a network,
depending on whether you use it as a room system endpoint or a conference hosting system, and
the type of the endpoints connecting to the unit.

As you add more XT Series endpoints, you can manage them centrally with Avaya Scopia
Management. This would enable centralized updating, backing up and control.

Avaya Scopia® XT Series SMB Edition enables you to locally host videoconferences using its built­in MCU, and extends your videoconferences to participants joining from a computer (with Scopia
Desktop Client) or a mobile device (using Scopia® Mobile).

For example, when you start a videoconference with the XT Series hosting the call, you can add
other participants by asking them to connect via a web link to the Scopia® XT Desktop server, which
would automatically install and launch Scopia® Desktop Client on their computers, or Scopia
Mobile on their mobile devices.

The main features of the Avaya Scopia® XT Series SMB Edition include:

• Remote users can easily connect to a meeting hosted by the built-in MCU on the XT Series, by
connecting via the Scopia® XT Desktop server.

The deployment has very few components. You do not need additional hardware like an
external MCU, Avaya Scopia® PathFinder for firewall traversal, or Avaya Scopia® ECS
Gatekeeper for routing calls.

• The included Scopia® XT Desktop provides built-in NAT and firewall traversal functionality,
enabling secure remote connections from Scopia® Mobile and Scopia® Desktop Clients.

You can enable this functionality via the XT Series license.

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series SMB Edition includes the following options:

• Full SMB4 - Basic MCU level with up to four participants: one local and three remote endpoints
or PC clients.

• Full SMB9 - Advanced MCU level, with one local participant and up to eight remote endpoints
or PC clients.

There is no local endpoint if you deploy the XT Series as a server.

Important:

The Scopia® XT Executive and Avaya Scopia® XT4300 can host up to four participants.

Planning NAT and Firewall Traversal with Avaya Scopia® XT Series

Planning NAT and Firewall Traversal with Avaya Scopia
XT Series

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series fully supports NAT and firewall traversal, enabling you to place the
unit behind a NAT router or firewall and connect with other endpoints seamlessly. This section
describes the available methods to incorporate NAT and firewall traversal with XT Series:

• Using a Avaya HTTP server or a STUN public server for NAT and firewall traversal

When the XT Series hosts a videoconference with endpoints outside the enterprise (

Using an HTTP/STUN Server for NAT and Firewall Traversal on page 27), it first queries an

HTTP or STUN server to discover its public IP address, then sends it to any external endpoints
wishing to join the conference. The external endpoints then answer the call using the IP
address provided. Configure the XT Series for HTTP or STUN autodiscovery. A STUN server
enables you to directly dial an endpoint behind a NAT or firewall by giving that computer’s
public internet address.

Figure 11:

®

Figure 11: Using an HTTP/STUN Server for NAT and Firewall Traversal

This approach works well in simple NAT and firewall traversal deployments, typically used by
home offices and Small Medium Businesses (SMBs).

• Using PathFinder server or other H.460 server for NAT/firewall traversal

Endpoints in the private network can communicate with public endpoints via an H.460 NAT/
firewall traversal server, like the PathFinder (see

Traversal Server on page 28). Endpoints in the public network can join a conference hosted

April 2015 Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment Guide 27

Comments? [email protected]

Figure 12: Using a separate NAT and Firewall

Planning the Topology of the Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment

in the private network via the traversal server if there is an open connection through the
firewall.

A dedicated PathFinder server offers external endpoints a static address when joining
conferences hosted in your organization. You can dial [email protected] to
access from outside the firewall, or you can dial 1234 directly if you deployed the Scopia
PathFinder client.

Configure the PathFinder server as the XT Series's gatekeeper and enable H.460.

®

• Using the XT Series for NAT and firewall traversal

In cases where your organization has no sophisticated firewall protection, the XT Series can
straddle the two network zones using the both network ports provided on the XT Codec Unit
(see

Supporting ISDN Connectivity

Figure 13: Using XT Series for NAT and Firewall Traversal

A gatekeeper allows the XT Series to dial aliases instead of IP addresses for endpoints in the
private network, while for public endpoints, you must dial IP addresses. Without a gatekeeper,
all endpoints must be referenced using IP addresses.

Supporting ISDN Connectivity

About this task

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series supports ISDN connectivity, allowing calls from endpoints to be
routed to the relevant videoconference via the Scopia® Gateway for ISDN.

For deployments without a gatekeeper, you can dial ISDN endpoints by simply dialing the ISDN
number. To do so, you must first configure the endpoint with your Scopia® Gateway for ISDN, as
described below. The system then automatically and transparently takes care of setting the bit rate
and call routing through the Scopia® Gateway.

A single gateway can serve multiple endpoints. For example, if your organization needs to enable 5
Avaya Scopia® XT Series endpoints with ISDN connectivity (at a speed of 256bps), you can use
one the Scopia® Gateway for ISDN, which supports 5 concurrent calls of 256bps each.

Planning the Topology of the Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment

With the gateway approach less communication lines are needed. As all gateways do not connect at
the same time and not all calls are ISDN, many more endpoints can share the same ISDN
connection and gateway.

Before you begin

Enable Peer-to-Peer mode in the Scopia® Gateway for ISDN. For more information, see the
Scopia® Gateway documentation.

Procedure

1. Access the XT Series web interface, as described in

Accessing XT Series Web Interface on

page 75.

2. Select Administrator Settings > Protocols > ISDN.

3. Configure the IDSN settings as described below:

Implementing Port Security for the Avaya Scopia® XT
Series

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series provides video technology for room conferencing, including support
for dual stream 1080p video, high quality data sharing, high quality full band audio and a high­capacity embedded MCU (selected models).

To enable an external XT Series endpoint to communicate with Scopia® Solution components within
the organization's network, you need to open firewall ports between the external XT Series endpoint
and the organization. This section details the ports used for the Avaya Scopia® XT Series and the
relevant configuration procedures:

Related Links

Opening Ports for the XT Series

You can deploy Avaya Scopia® XT Series endpoints either inside or outside the enterprise network.
When Scopia® Solution components are located inside the network, and one or more XT Series
endpoints are outside the network, you must open ports in the firewall to enable the endpoint's
functionality.

Since the location of the XT Series is not fixed, the ports' source and destination differ depending on
your XT Series topology. There are two main deployment topologies for the XT Series, each with
optional additional components:

• XT Series as an endpoint (standard topology)

• XT Series with Scopia® XT Desktop (Avaya Scopia® XT Series SMB Edition)

Typically, XT Series endpoints connect to a conference managed by Scopia® Management, and
hosted on the Scopia® Elite MCU. XT Series endpoints may be both within and outside the
enterprise. See

Figure 15: Standard topology for Avaya Scopia® XT Series on page 32.

Planning the Topology of the Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment

Figure 15: Standard topology for Avaya Scopia® XT Series

In contrast, in the Avaya Scopia® XT Series SMB Edition topology, Scopia® Desktop Clients join the
conference via Scopia® XT Desktop server, located in the DMZ. The Scopia® XT Desktop server
then connects to an XT Series endpoint with built-in MCU located inside the enterprise. External and
internal XT Series endpoints connect directly to the XT Series endpoint with built-in MCU. See

Figure 16: Avaya Scopia® XT Series SMB Edition topology on page 32.

Avaya Scopia® PathFinder provides a complete firewall and NAT traversal solution for H.323
deployments, enabling secure connectivity between enterprise networks and remote sites.
PathFinder enables registered external endpoints to traverse the firewall without requiring you to
open any dedicated ports for the XT Series. See

Implementing Port Security for the Avaya Scopia® XT Series

Figure 17: XT Series deployment with PathFinder

In each of the topologies, the XT Series can be located either inside or outside the enterprise. You
need to open different ports depending on the topology, and the location of the endpoints. The
source for a port is the sender of data packets, and the destination is the receiver. There are two
types of ports which require opening (see

Figure 18: Inbound and outbound ports for the XT

Series on page 33):

• Bidirectional ports, which allow the XT Series to send and receive data packets on the same
port.

• Unidirectional ports, which allow the XT Series to either initiate communication or receive data
packets.

For a unidirectional port, you must designate it as inbound or outbound. A port is inbound if its
source is sending to a destination protected by the firewall (for example, data sent from an
external XT Series to Scopia® Management). A port is outbound if its destination is receiving
data from a source protected by the firewall (for example, data sent from Scopia® Management
to an external XT Series).

Figure 18: Inbound and outbound ports for the XT Series

April 2015 Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment Guide 33

Comments? [email protected]

Planning the Topology of the Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment

Depending on the location of the XT Series, a unidirectional port might be inbound to the
organization or outbound from the organization. For example:

• Port 161 is an outbound port from Scopia® Management or an SNMP management server to
an external XT Series.

• Port 162 is an inbound port from an external XT Series to Scopia® Management or an SNMP
management server.

Important:

On stateful firewalls, ports are left open to response data for an allocated period of time after the
initial request. For unidirectional ports, this response is the only data allowed through in the
opposite direction. On bidirectional ports, data can be initiated and sent through in both
directions.

If you are opening unidirectional ports for the XT Series, see Table 6: Unidirectional ports to open

for the XT Series on page 34. You need to determine if they are inbound or outbound depending

on the source and destination.

If you are opening bidirectional ports for the XT Series, see Table 7: Bidirectional ports to open for

the XT Series on page 39.

Configuring the TCP or UDP Port Range on the Avaya Scopia® XT Series

About this task

You can configure the TCP or UDP port range by setting the base port, which is the lower end of the
port range (if, for example, port 3230 is busy).

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series uses dynamic TCP ports 3230-3250 for the following:

• H.225.0: An H.323 protocol that specifies the messages and procedures used by gatekeepers
to set up calls.

• Q.931: A telephony protocol used for establishing and terminating the connection in H.323
calls.

• H.245: A Control Protocol used for multimedia communication; enables transferring information
about the device capabilities, as well as opening/closing the logical channels that carry media
streams.

• SIP: A signaling protocol used for creating, modifying, or terminating multimedia connections
between two or more participants.

The Avaya Scopia® XT Series uses dynamic UDP ports 3230-3248 for enabling real-time H.323 and
SIP media, including audio, video, and H.224/data (RTP), and media control (RTCP).

Implementing Port Security for the Avaya Scopia® XT Series

Before you begin

If configuring from the endpoint, you must first enable advanced configuration, as described in

Enabling Advanced Maintenance on the XT Series on page 112.

Procedure

1. Access the port settings. From the XT Series web interface, select Administrator
Settings > Networks > Preferences > Dynamic Ports. From the endpoint's main menu,
select Configure > Advanced > Networks > Preferences > Dynamic Ports.

Figure 19: Configuring the TCP or UDP port range from the web interface

2. Define how the XT Series assigns ports by selecting one of the following from Auto detect:

• No: The XT Codec Unit uses the range of dynamic ports indicated and allows you to

define the base port (default and recommended setting).

• Yes: The XT Codec Unit assigns ports randomly, and you cannot define the base port.

3. If you selected No in the Auto detect list, you can modify the TCP or UDP base port in the

Ports field.

Important:

You can configure the base port to any value between 1024-65535. The number of ports
is calculated automatically by the system, depending on whether you have an MCU
license and its type.

Figure 20: Optimal Room Setup

Planning the Optimal Room Setup

• Walls and furniture

Choose a plain neutral wall color. Avoid white walls as they increase the back light, causing
cameras to reduce exposure and introducing a silhouetting effect. Avoid glass walls, or
patterned and textured walls as they may cause visual disturbances.

The room should be well and uniformly lit, with a brightness of at least 300 lux, avoiding a
mixture of natural and artificial light. Light should come from the top of the conference table, the
front and the rear (for depth of field). If the only light is from the ceiling, it should be gentle light
and generate as little heat as possible.

Use heavy curtains with a neutral color and install carpets to reduce noise interference from
resonance with hard surfaces in the room.

The room should be air-conditioned to avoid the XT Codec Unit activating its fan.

• Camera positions

Ensure the camera's view captures all the seats in the room (Figure 21: Camera scope covers

all seats on page 44).

April 2015 Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment Guide 43

Comments? [email protected]

Setting Up the XT Series Hardware

Figure 21: Camera scope covers all seats

All cameras should be at a height to ensure eye contact between local and remote participants.

Try positioning the camera between the two monitors either directly above or below them, at a
distance which captures all the seats.

Caution:

Do not place the camera on top of the XT Codec Unit. It can cause the system to overheat.

Place chairs so that you and other participants appear in full frame of the cameras, in the
middle of the monitors.

For larger rooms, a single XT Series can manage more than one camera. For more
information, see Connecting Cameras or DVD players on page 48.

• Microphone positions

Place the Microphone Pod at the center of the table, in front of the participants.

If you deploy the One-way Microphone Pod, note it has a limited three meter 180° range, so be
sure to place all participants on one side of the microphone. The Three-way Microphone Pod
picks up sound up to three meters away at all angles (360°).

Planning the Optimal Room Setup

Figure 22: Placing the Microphone Pods

Position the Microphone Pod as far as possible from loudspeakers and other noise sources.

Do not place paper or other objects in front of the Microphone Pod.

For large conference rooms, you can deploy two Microphone Pods, distributed evenly on the
table. In very large rooms, consider an audio mixer to add as many microphones as needed.
For more information, see Choosing a Microphone for Your XT Series on page 59.

• Position of the XT Codec Unit

Place the XT Codec Unit on a horizontal surface which stands firmly on its base. The surface
must be dry and free of dust, oil and other residues.

Position the XT Codec Unit and the camera so that their front panel infra-red (IR) sensors are
visible by someone holding the XT Remote Control Unit. If the XT Codec Unit is in a cabinet,
the XT Remote Control Unit sends to the main camera's sensor which relays to the XT Codec
Unit.

Ensure the infra-red sensors do not face sunlight or inverter fluorescent lamps.

Place the XT Codec Unit anywhere within a five meters reach of the camera cables.

Leave enough space around the XT Codec Unit for air circulation and for connecting cables
easily.

• Configuring the monitors

Configure the monitors while the cameras are in self-view mode to ensure the correct levels of
contract, brightness and sharpness.

If required, you can enable GLAN2 with a license to use both network ports (see Activating the

XT Series and its Optional Features on page 78).

For example, a small business can use the XT Series as a firewall traversal system (see Planning

NAT and Firewall Traversal with Avaya Scopia® XT Series on page 27), where the XT Series hosts

a call on its built-in MCU, and endpoints from both the public and private networks can access the
same videoconference. Connect one network port to the public network and the other to the private
network.

Another example of dual-NIC usage is when a large organization routes video on a higher
performance network, while routing the API control of the XT Series on another network.

Connecting the PTZ Camera

About this task

This procedure describes how to connect the main PTZ camera to the Avaya Scopia® XT Series.
The XT7000 Series and the XT5000 Series use the XT Premium Camera. The XT4300 uses the XT
Flex Camera, while the XT4200 uses the XT Standard II Camera.

For details about the camera's capabilities, see Technical Specifications on page 18. For more
information about the room setup, see

Procedure

1. Place the camera in a position to ensure eye contact between local and remote participants.

If the XT Codec Unit is housed in a cabinet, the XT Remote Control Unit sends the signal to
the infra-red receiver of the main camera to relay messages to the XT Codec Unit. In this
case, configure the camera settings so the camera's power is always on (see Configuring

Cameras on page 100).

Try positioning the camera between the two monitors either directly above or below them, at
a distance which captures all the seats.

Planning the Optimal Room Setup on page 42.

Caution:

Do not place the camera on top of the XT Codec Unit. It can cause the system to
overheat.

2. Remove the camera stabilizing cartons before connecting the camera to avoid damage to
the system.

3. Insert the following connectors on the camera cable to the ports on the back of the camera,
as shown in Figure 26: Connecting cables to the back of the camera on page 50:

• The DVI connector to the DVI socket

• The 8-pin connector to the IN (RS232C) socket

• The power connector to the DC IN 12V socket

Setting Up the XT Series Hardware

It also includes a 10-meter VISCA cross cable, enabling you to control both cameras with the same
XT Remote Control Unit on the XT5000 Series only, by connecting a VISCA cross cable between
the cameras. This disables the extra remote control. VISCA is a standard protocol to control PTZ
cameras.

Figure 28: Connecting an additional camera directly to the XT Series

Important:

Connecting cameras with a VISCA cable requires that both are exactly the same model.

Before you begin

For larger room setups, if you need a longer HDMI cable than the supplied five-meter DVI-HDMI
cable, be sure to add HDMI repeaters. For 1080p at 60fps, add a repeater every five meters. For
1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps, add a repeater every 10 meters. Compatible HDMI repeaters are
listed in Third-Party Accessories for Avaya Scopia® XT Series.

To control both cameras of the same model using one XT Remote Control Unit (on the XT7000
Series and XT5000 Series only), use the supplied 10-meter VISCA cross cable, or for large room
setups, buy a longer third-party cable, or create your own. The RS232 cable should be up to 15-20
meters long, where both ends have an 8-pin mini-DIN male connector. To create your own cable,
connect the pins as shown in

Choosing a Microphone for Your XT Series

This section provides an overview of the different types of microphones which are shipped with the
various models in the Avaya Scopia® XT Series. You can add more microphones to your XT Series
depending on the room setup.

Figure 37: Choosing the microphone for your XT Series

To determine the best microphone positioning, see Planning the Optimal Room Setup on page 42.
When deciding on the microphone best suited for the meeting room, consider the following factors:

• A larger room requires more microphones. Position the microphones to ensure all participants
are within range.

April 2015 Avaya Scopia® XT Series Deployment Guide 59

Comments? [email protected]

Setting Up the XT Series Hardware

• A digital microphone brings higher quality sound, and are usually connected via optical cables
which can be deployed over longer distances than analog (copper) wires.

• For more complex audio setups, you can connect the XT Series to an audio mixer.

•

The XT Codec Unit uses the same audio in port for third-party digital microphone, analog
microphones, line input, and computer audio, so you must choose between them. You can free
this port when you use the digital three-way XT Digital Microphone Array Pod, which uses its

own microphone

port, or by using an audio mixer.

There are several connections available to input audio to the XT Series:

•

The dedicated microphone

port is for the digital Three-way Microphone Pod. The XT5000

Series can support two of these microphones daisy-chained.

• The USB port is used for USB headsets, or for a USB camera with a built-in microphone (lower
USB only).

•

The audio input port

is for:

- The analog One-way Microphone Pod or any other analog microphone with a 3.5mm jack.

- A third-party digital microphone with a mini-TOSlink connector.

- Audio mixers like those from Clear One. An audio mixer connects multiple microphones (or
other audio inputs) to generate a single audio stream.

- A computer audio-out connection or line audio connection.

About this task

Select the microphones best suited to your deployment (see

Series on page 59), and ensure all participants are seated within the range of one of the

microphones. To determine the best microphone positioning, see Planning the Optimal Room

Setup on page 42.

More complex setups, like setting up an auditorium or mixing different types of microphones, may
require an audio mixer (for example Clear One mixers). An audio mixer connects multiple
microphones (or other audio inputs) to generate a single audio stream. Using an audio mixer
requires you disable echo-cancellation on the XT Series (see
page 104) and then enable it either on the audio mixer, or (ideally) on each microphone. The audio
mixer must have either an analog audio I/O (mini jack 3.5”) connector or a digital optical (mini­TOSlink) connector.

Chapter 5: Controlling the XT Series

There are a number of ways to interact with the Avaya Scopia® XT Series:

• Use the XT Remote Control Unit locally on the endpoint itself to navigate the menus and
perform user functions and advanced configuration. You view the results on a connected
monitor.

• (Scopia® XT Executive only) Use a keyboard and mouse of a computer connected to the
endpoint to navigate its menus instead of the XT Remote Control Unit. This also requires a
connected monitor.

• Use the Scopia® Control iPad app to control user-level functionality of the XT Series via an
intuitive touch interface. This app is limited to user features, and does not extend to
administration or advanced configuration. For more information, see User Guide for Scopia
Control.

• Use the XT Series's web interface to perform nearly all features from the unit's web page.

• Use Scopia® Management's administrator web interface to perform system upgrades, backups,
and add your endpoint to the organization's address book (see

Series from Scopia® Management on page 76).

Initial Configuration of the XT Series

Before you begin

Verify that you have the following:

• Access to the

Avaya Product Licensing and Delivery System.

If you do not have access, navigate to Avaya's login page and follow the instructions on the
page. If you do not have login information for Avaya's login page, contact your Avaya Support
Representative.

• The endpoint’s host ID (MAC address of the GLAN 1 port), located in your customer letter. You
can also find this information from one of the endpoint’s interfaces. For example, when you
start the Avaya Scopia® XT Series without a license, you can click Activate License on the
Enable Software Version screen to view the host ID. Alternatively, you can click Start Demo
Version to run the software without a license for 30 days. On the demo version, you can
navigate to Configure > About. For more information on this method, see

Viewing System
Information for Customer Support on page 172. The host ID is also displayed on the XT Series

web interface when you log on to http://<XT Series IP address> with the username
Admin and the password 1234. When you log on, click Licenses. You can also use the
Licenses page to enable your license once you receive it from PLDS.

• A License Activation Code (LAC) to activate the product itself and any optional features you
purchased. You can find the LAC in the customer letter shipped with the product, or the email
you received when you purchased the product or optional license.

Procedure

1. Obtain the product’s license keys from the Avaya Product Licensing and Delivery System, as
follows:

a. Access the

Avaya Product Licensing and Delivery System.

b. Using your license activation code (LAC) and your endpoint’s host ID, obtain the license

key as described in Getting Started with Avaya PLDS.

The LAC generates a license key to activate the product, as well as any optional
licenses you ordered when purchasing the product. If you purchased optional licenses
separately, perform this step for each license you purchased, using its unique LAC.

Note:

If the LAC is not recognized by the Avaya Product Licensing and Delivery System,
use the following alternative method:

From the Avaya Product Licensing and Delivery System Home page, navigate to
Asset > View Entitlements > Search Entitlements. Search for your LAC by
entering it in the %LAC field. From the Options menu, click Activate. During the
Activation Wizard, you must manually create a new MAC address (Host ID).

c. Write down the license keys, required to activate the endpoint and its optional features.

2. Activate the license and/or optional features on your XT Series:

a. From the XT Series web interface, select Enable License on the home page. From the

endpoint's main menu, select Configure > Advanced > Utilities > Licenses.

Configuring Monitors

About this task

After you connect one or two monitors to the HDMI ports on the Avaya Scopia® XT Series, you can
configure the number of monitors, their resolutions, and the allowed video layouts. However, the
Scopia® XT Executive only works with its own single monitor at a fixed resolution of 1080p.

For the XT4300, the additional monitor is available on a license.

Video layouts often require overlapping images when there are more video streams than available
monitors. For example, when your endpoint is disconnected, there is just local video stream which
fills the screen. If you call another endpoint with no presentation, there are two streams: the local
and the remote video. If you add a presentation, there are now three streams.

The available layouts depend on the number of monitors.

with presentation on page 97 shows the layouts for a single monitor. The PiP (Picture In Picture)

view shows a video image in the main screen, with an additional smaller image overlapping in the
corner. The PaP (Picture and Picture) view shows up to three images of the same size. The PoP
(Picture out Picture) view shows up to three images of different size, presented side by side, where
the image on the left is larger than the two smaller images on the right. For more information about
video layouts, see Avaya Scopia® XT Series User Guide.
