Replacing a Microphone—Part Number CTS-MIC

Required Information, Tools, and Equipment

To remove and replace a microphone for the Cisco TelePresence 3200, you need the following information, tools, and equipment:

Cisco TelePresence System Release 1.4 Administrator’s Guide, OL-13676-03

Power screwdriver with 2.5, 3, and 6 mm (standard or round) Allen bits, or standard 2.5, 3, and 6 mm Allen wrenches

Tip A round-head Allen bit allows the bit to work at an angle instead of only straight out, which is helpful in tight spots.

Manual screwdrivers, Phillips and flat head types

Metric wrenches, 10 to 15 mm

Masking tape

Laptop computer attached to the network

Caution Make sure all system power is turned off before beginning this disassembly.

Removing and Replacing a First Row Microphone

Note Make sure to retain all screws, brackets, and other parts during the disassembly.

Step 1 From the back of the Cisco TelePresence 3200, access the audio/video expansion unit.

Step 2 Detach the specific microphone cable from the audio/video expansion unit. Note the location for later reference.

Step 3 Remove the microphone cable by pulling it to the right through the various cable management systems. Take note of how the cable is routed.

See Chapter 9, “Routing Power and Signal Cables” for additional information.

Step 4 If you are replacing the left or right microphones in the first row, skip to Step 6.

Step 5 If you are replacing the center microphone, follow these steps.

a.Loosen, but do not remove, the mounting screws holding the projector assembly to the underside of the center tabletop.

b.Remove the projector assembly by sliding the unit to the left and away from the mounting screws.

c.Alternately, if the fit is too tight to remove in this manner, remove the mounting screws from the tabletop. Ensure the projector assembly is secured while removing the screws.

See Chapter 8, “Assembling the Remaining Cisco TelePresence Elements” for more information.

Step 6 From the underside of the tabletop, remove the two screws securing the microphone. Retain the screws.

3200 specifications

Cisco Systems 3200 Series routers are designed to deliver high-performance, reliable networking solutions for enterprise and service provider environments. They are part of Cisco's extensive portfolio that addresses the challenges of modern networking, particularly in connecting remote offices and branch locations efficiently and securely.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 3200 Series is its scalability. The routers support a variety of modular interfaces, allowing organizations to tailor their network infrastructure according to specific needs. This modularity ensures that as businesses grow and their networking requirements evolve, the Cisco 3200 can adapt without necessitating a complete overhaul of existing hardware.

Security is another critical characteristic of the Cisco 3200 routers. They incorporate robust security features such as integrated firewall capabilities, advanced encryption standards, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) support. This ensures that sensitive data transmitted over the network is protected from potential threats, making them ideal for businesses that prioritize security, especially in regulated industries.

Performance-wise, the Cisco 3200 is equipped with advanced processing capabilities, enabling it to handle high data throughput even in demanding environments. This performance is bolstered by the use of Cisco's proprietary technologies, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic shaping, which allow the prioritization of critical applications to ensure seamless connectivity.

The router series also benefits from Cisco's extensive software ecosystem, which includes Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System). IOS provides a familiar interface for network administrators, alongside a wealth of features for configuration and management. Furthermore, the Cisco 3200 Series is designed to integrate with Cisco's Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions, offering enhanced flexibility in managing network resources.

Connectivity options for the Cisco 3200 Series are extensive, offering support for various WAN technologies, including MPLS, LTE, and broadband internet. This versatility enables organizations to choose the best connectivity solutions according to their geographic and operational requirements.

Finally, the Cisco 3200 Series routers are built with reliability in mind. They are designed for high availability and redundancy, ensuring that network services remain uninterrupted in the event of hardware failures or maintenance activities.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems 3200 routers represent a comprehensive networking solution, combining scalability, security, performance, and reliability, making them a preferred choice for organizations looking to enhance their networking infrastructure in a dynamic digital landscape.
