Configuring Network Use

This chapter lists the information you need to get your network ready for video conferencing. Once you’ve gathered that information, you can begin configuring the system’s network options. Details on how to perform this configuration are also included in this chapter.

When you power on your system for the first time, the setup wizard detects the system’s IP and ISDN connections and leads you through the minimum configuration steps required to place a call.

If you need to change any of the initial settings to accommodate your organization’s environment, you can manually adjust them using the screens described in this chapter.

Note that if you establish an administrator’s password during the setup wizard, you will need to enter it each time you wish to change administrative settings.

Getting the Network Ready

Before you begin configuring the network options, you must make sure your network is ready for video conferencing.

To begin, refer to the Preparing Your Network for Collaboration document, available at www.polycom.com/videodocumentation. This document contains information you need to prepare your network, such as worksheets that will help you order ISDN.
