Environmental Issues

Thank you for buying a product, which contributes to a reduction in pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper) and low energy consuming products.

Waste handling

There is no need to send any products or material back to TANDBERG as there are no consumables to take care of. Please contact your local dealer for information on local waste handling and recycling of electronic products.

Production of products

Our factories employ the most efficient environmental methods for reducing waste and pollution and ensuring the products are recyclable.

Digital User Manuals

TANDBERG is pleased to announce that it has replaced the printed versions of its User Manuals with a digital CD version. The environmental benefits of this are significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge. A simple web-based search feature helps users directly access the information they need. If desired, the user manuals on the CD can still be printed locally.

Operator Safety Summary

User Manual

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the equipment and keep this manual for future reference. The information in this summary is intended for operators. Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions both on the apparatus and in the operating instructions.

Equipment Markings

The lightning flash symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltages” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock. The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions accompanying the equipment.

Warnings

 Water and moisture - Do not operate the equipment under or near water - for example

near a bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool or in areas with high humidity.

 Cleaning - Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing. Do not

use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water for cleaning the exterior of the apparatus.

 Ventilation - Do not block any of the ventilation openings of the apparatus. Install in

accordance with the installation instructions. Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other material. Never install the apparatus near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

 Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician.

 Power-Cord Protection - Route the power cord so as to avoid it being walked on or

pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the apparatus.

 Attachments - Only use attachments as recommended by the manufacturer.  Accessories - Most systems should only be used with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

 Lightning - Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods

of time.

TANDBERG Content Server User Manual

 Servicing - Do not attempt to service the apparatus yourself as opening or removing

covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards, and will void the warranty. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

 Damaged Equipment - Unplug the apparatus from the outlet and refer servicing to

qualified personnel under the following conditions:

 When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed  If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus  If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture  If the apparatus has been subjected to excessive shock by being dropped, or the

Content Library Host Name

Database Source

Restart Service

The default for the Content Server installation is (local). It is recommended to leave the H.323 address in the Site Settings as (local), unless instructed otherwise by TANDBERG support.

Standard videoconferencing port. Users only need to change this setting if the local videoconferencing port at customer site is set to a different port.

The default for the Content Server installation is (local). It is recommended to leave the Content Library Host Name in the Site Settings as (local), unless instructed otherwise by TANDBERG support.

By default, the Database Source is set to (local). To optimize the performance of the Content Server, it is strongly recommended that the administrator changes the Database Source to the <Machine name> (which can be set up from the Windows SAK at the time of installation).

If the TANDBERG Content Server is not responding, restart the Service here. This will only affect calls that are currently live (that is, the calls will be ended and conferences will not be available

TANDBERG Content Server User Manual

for on demand playback). Before restarting the Endpoint, check if there are live conferences in progress in the Live Conferences page or check the call status on the LCD panel of the unit.

TANDBERG Content Server User Manual

4.1.2 Gatekeeper

The Gatekeeper configuration menu contains the following settings:

 Gatekeeper Discovery  IP Address  Port

Gatekeeper Discovery

Gatekeeper Discovery configuration can be set to OFF, MANUAL or AUTO.

OFF - The system will not use a gatekeeper for calls.

MANUAL - The system will use a specific gatekeeper identified

by Gatekeeper IP-address.

IP Address

Port

AUTO - The system will automatically try to register on any

available gatekeeper. If a gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this specific gatekeeper will be used. This requires auto discovery on the gatekeeper as well. If no gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a gatekeeper for making H.323 calls and hence an IP-address must be specified manually.

This gatekeeper IP-address will be used if you specify Gatekeeper Discovery: Manual.

This port setting should not be changed unless the local network configuration specifies a different port.

4.1.3 H.323 ports

The H.323 ports configuration menu contains the following settings:

 Use static ports  TCP  UDP

Use static ports

‘Use static ports’ is disabled by default. This means that the system will dynamically allocate which ports to use when opening a TCP/UDP connection. The reason for doing this is to avoid using the same ports for subsequent calls as some firewalls consider this as a sign of attack. Static ports can be enabled by selecting the checkbox and specifying the required range of ports.
