Chapter 2 Setting Up Your Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU

Accessing the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU Administrator Interface

You can use your web browser from any remote PC station to monitor and to configure the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit. A web server is installed in the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit to facilitate the use of the remote web-based monitoring and management.

Access to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU configuration interface is controlled by a user name and a password. Once you have entered the settings you want, you should upload them to the unit for them to take effect, or you can save them to a configuration file to be loaded at a later time.

These are the requirements for accessing the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU

Administrator web interface:

•A Java-compliant browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later is recommended.

•The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit IP address or a web link to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit.

•The required user name and password.

Note For first-time installation, you must assign an IP address to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit using a serial port connection before you can access the web interface. For more information, see the “Setting the IP Address” section on page 2-5.
