Configuring the MCU

Step one: Log in to the MCU

All administration of the MCU is performed via the web interface. To log in to the web interface of the MCU:

1Use your browser to navigate to the IP address of the MCU (to discover the IP address, refer to the previous section).

2Click the Log in link on the top right of the screen, then click Change log in and enter the user name admin with no password.

Codian recommends that you change the admin account to use a

ipassword as soon as possible. To do that, go to Users, click the admin link, and provide the required user information.

Step two: Using an H.323 gatekeeper or SIP registrar (optional)

If you have H.323 endpoints, using an H.323 gatekeeper can make it easier for participants to call in to a conference. You can configure the MCU to use an external gatekeeper or its own built-in gatekeeper. For information about using the built-in gatekeeper, refer to the online help.

If you have SIP endpoints, using a SIP registrar can make it easier for participants to call in to a conference.

To configure the MCU to use an H.323 gatekeeper:

1In the web interface of the MCU, go to Settings > Gatekeeper.

2Enable H.323 gatekeeper usage and configure the settings you require, using the online help for further assistance.

3Click Apply changes.

To configure the MCU to use a SIP registrar:

1In the web interface, go to Settings > SIP.

2Configure the settings you require, using the online help for further assistance.

3 Click

i

Apply changes.

Before you configure the MCU to use, and register conferences to, a SIP registrar, you must set up the MCU and its conferences on that SIP registrar.
