Configuring with the Setup Wizard

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 more information about these steps, refer to the corresponding sections in this chapter. This guide covers network types used worldwide. Please note that not all network types are available in all countries.

The setup wizard allows you to set a room password, which allows you to limit access to the Admin Settings. The default room password is the 14-digit system serial number.

Make sure you can recall the room password if you set one. If you forget the password, you will have to reset the system, delete the system files, and run the setup wizard again in order to access the Admin Settings and reset the password.

If Security Mode is enabled, the room password is required to access the Reset System screen. If you forget the room password while the system is in Security Mode, contact your Polycom distributor or Polycom Technical Support.

You can run the setup wizard or view the configuration screens in either of these two ways.

•In the room with the system — Use the remote control to navigate the screens and enter information. You can use the number pad on the remote control to enter text just like you can with a cell phone.

•From a remote location — Use a web browser to access VSX Web. For more information about using VSX Web, refer to Managing the System Remotely on page 5-1.

You can use VSX Web to configure all of the system settings except the remote management settings. These settings must be configured on the local system by an administrator. For more information about VSX Web, refer to Accessing VSX Web on page 5-1.
