User interfaces
The principal operating device for your Cisco TelePresence
SX10 Quick Set is the TRC6 remote control.
Additionally, you can configure your system through its web
interface, provided that the system is already connected to a
network and you know the IP address. In the appendices we
describe how to use the remote control and the on-screen
menu. We also describe how to navigate and use the web
interface.
How to configure your system
Before you can start using your SX10 you must set the basic
configurations as described in this chapter.
Using a provisioning system, or configuring each
video conference system individually
Provisioning allows video conferencing network administrators
to manage many video systems simultaneously. In general, you
only have to put in the credentials of the provisioning server
to each video system; the rest of the configuration is done
automatically.
Without a provisioning system, you must configure each video
system individually. As a minimum, you must set the IP and SIP
parameters. You should also set the correct time and date.
Basic configuration with or without a provisioning system is
described in the remainder of this chapter.
Getting started
How to wake up the system and start using one of the user
interfaces.

Provisioning
(when using a provisioning system)
Your system may be configured by an external provisioning
system. This way a number of settings are provisioned
automatically, and you most likely do not have to set the IP, SIP
and Time and Date settings.

Web interface
IP parameters
(when not set by a provisioning system)
Your video conference system must be connected to an IP
network. Both IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6) are
supported. In both cases, the IP parameters can be assigned
automatically by the network, or you can set ever ything
manually.
Setup assistant
Web interface
SIP parameters
(when not set by a provisioning system)
To get online and ready to place and receive calls, your system
must be set up properly. Your system uses the SIP protocol for
video calls, and is on by default.
Web interface
Date and time
(when not set by a provisioning system)
When setting up your video conference system, you should
check that the date and time settings are correct. Among
other things this information is used to time stamp messages
transmitted to gatekeepers and other network elements.
Web interface
The codec/system password
To restrict access to system configuration, we strongly
recommend that you set a password for your video conference
system.
This password is used when you sign in to the web and
command line interfaces for your system.

User roles, user accounts and
password
You need ADMIN rights to configure the system via web
interface.
User roles: A user must possess one or a combination of
several user roles. Three user roles exist, representing
different rights: ADMIN, USER and AUDIT. It is important to note
that these roles have non-overlapping rights.
A complete administrator user account with full access rights,
like the default admin user, must possess all three roles.
You can read more on how to create and manage user
accounts in the administrator guide for your product.
NOTE: Initially, no password is set for the default admin user.
We strongly recommend that you set a password for this user,
and any other users possessing an ADMIN role, to restrict
access to system configuration.
A warning on the screen of your video system indicates if no
administrator password is set. To remove the warning you must
set an administrator password.
Make sure to keep a copy of the password in a safe place.
You have to factory reset the unit if you have forgotten the
password.

Setup assistant
When you start the system for the first time, the Setup
assitant runs automatically.
Start the Setup assistant
Navigate to the upper left corner on the home screen and
press OK on the remote control.
Navigate to Settings and press OK. Navigate to Setup
assistant and press OK. Follow the instructions on screen.
If the system does not show a menu on screen:
• Make sure the monitor is connected and has been
switched on.
• Make sure the remote control has batteries installed.
• Make sure the system is switched on.
If the system has just been switched on, wait a few minutes
to allow the system to start up.
If there is still no menu on screen, make sure the monitor
cable is connected to the video output connector. If in doubt,
see the installation guide for your product.
