How to use this guide
The top menu bar and the entries in the Table of contents are
hyperlinks. You can click them to go to the topic.
Use a provisioning system, or configure
each video 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 ser ver
to each video system; the rest of the configuration is done
automatically.
Without a provisioning system, you must configure each video
system individually. To be able to make calls, you must set
the IP address, if not provided by the network, and SIP/H.323
parameters. You should also set the correct time and date.
Basic configuration with or without a provisioning system is
described in this guide.
User interfaces
The principal operating device for your Cisco TelePresence
video conference system is either a remote control or a Touch
controller. The remote control is not available for the MX series
or the SX80.
You can configure your system through its web interface, if the
system is already connected to a network and you know the IP
address. A limited set of configurations is also available on the
Touch controller and the on-screen menu.
We describe the web interface, the on-screen setup assistant
and the Touch controller in the following chapter.
Passphrase
Initially, no passphrase is set for the default admin user. It
is mandator y to set a passphrase for any user with ADMIN
rights in order to restrict access to system configuration. This
includes the default admin user.
You can read more about how to set the passphrase in the
section ”Passphrase” on page 18.
When you start the system for the first time, the Setup assistant
starts automatically.
Read how to configure the system with the on-screen setup
assistant on page 20.
Settings menu
After the initial set up, you can revisit the configurations and
more in the Settings menu:
• Language: Select a language for the user interface.
• Time zone: Select your local time zone.
•
Screen adjustment: Adjust display and system settings for
correct rendering of video and graphics.
•
Network connection: Change the IPv4 settings, if those
have not been configured by autoprovisioning or the
network. VLAN settings are also available.
•
Service activation: Change provisioning settings, if those
have not been configured by autoprovisioning.
•
Microphone check: Check that the microphone is working.
If you are using an external microphone, use this test to
adjust its location.
• Sound test
• Defaultcamerapreset: Set the default camera position for
future calls.
•
Presentation: Test presenting from your computer. You
need an HDMI or VGA cable for this.
•
Factory settings: Reset your video system to its factory
settings, and you lose your current registration. You cannot
undo a factory reset.
•
Extended logging: Helps diagnose network issues and
problems during call setup. While in this mode more information is stored in the log files. Extended logging uses
more of the system’s resources, and may cause it to
underperform. Only use extended logging mode when you
are troubleshooting an issue.
