Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU Unit Initial Configuration

Setting the IP Address

This section describes how to use the serial port to configure the unit with an IP address and other address information.

The upper serial port on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit front panel is used to assign a new IP address to your Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit. You can assign the IP address before or after you connect the hardware to the network.

Before You Begin

Gather the items listed in Table 2-3to assign an IP address to the Cisco Unified

Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit.

Table 2-3 Requirements for Setting the IP Address

Requirements

Notes

Dedicated IP address for the Cisco Unified

Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit

IP address of the default router the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit uses to communicate over the network

Subnet mask for the Cisco Unified

Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit if applicable

Domain Name Server and domain name for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit if applicable

PC with available serial port and terminal emulator software installed

RS-232 terminal cable (shipped with the unit)

Procedure

Step 1 Connect the RS-232 terminal cable to the PC terminal.

Step 2 Connect the power cable.

Step 3 Start the terminal emulation application on the PC.

Step 4 Set the communication settings in the terminal emulation application on the PC as follows:

Baud rate: 9600

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

Step 5 Turn on the power to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit.

A log of the auto-boot events appears on the computer.

Step 6 When the message “Press any key to start configuration” appears on the screen, press any key within six seconds.
