Chapter 10 First-Time Setup

Setting Up CTS Components

Step 1 Using the IP address displayed in the Cisco IP telephone welcome message, log in to the CTS Administration software.

Step 2 From Troubleshooting, choose Hardware Setup to initially set up the components in the

Cisco TelePresence system. Cisco suggests that you set up CTS components in the following order:

•Setting Up the Displays, page 10-5

•Setting Up the Cameras, page 10-6

•Setting Up the Speakers, page 10-13

•Setting Up the Microphones, page 10-13

•Setting Up the Projector, page 10-14

•Other Devices, page 10-18

Setting Up the Displays

A display is set up correctly when the color on the display has been adjusted for the lighting in the meeting room. Each display must be set up individually.

•From the Hardware Setup page under Troubleshooting, click the Display radio button.

•Click Start to begin the adjustment process.

Each display in the meeting room should now be showing a set of horizontal grey bars and that display's relative position. Select the color temperature of the lighting in the meeting room and click Apply.

Selecting the Light Level

When adjusting the images on the display screens for the Cisco TelePresence system, you must take the color temperature of the ambient light in the room into consideration.

Sources of light in most rooms are either incandescent light bulbs that use tungsten filaments or fluorescent lights. Each of these light sources, and the amount of light in terms of lumens or watts, produces a different color temperature. This color temperature is sometimes expressed using terms such cool, warm, or daylight, but can be expressed more precisely in kelvins (K) as a numeric value.

Following are the temperatures that can be selected for adjusting the image on the Cisco TelePresence display screens:

•3500 K

•4000 to 4100 K (recommended setting)

•5000 K

•6500 K

•7500 K

In many cases, the color temperature is printed on the light bulb. If you are unable to ascertain the type and color temperature of light bulbs in the meeting room, experiment with color temperature settings until the color and images on the display screen look lifelike.

3200 specifications

Cisco Systems 3200 Series routers are designed to deliver high-performance, reliable networking solutions for enterprise and service provider environments. They are part of Cisco's extensive portfolio that addresses the challenges of modern networking, particularly in connecting remote offices and branch locations efficiently and securely.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 3200 Series is its scalability. The routers support a variety of modular interfaces, allowing organizations to tailor their network infrastructure according to specific needs. This modularity ensures that as businesses grow and their networking requirements evolve, the Cisco 3200 can adapt without necessitating a complete overhaul of existing hardware.

Security is another critical characteristic of the Cisco 3200 routers. They incorporate robust security features such as integrated firewall capabilities, advanced encryption standards, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) support. This ensures that sensitive data transmitted over the network is protected from potential threats, making them ideal for businesses that prioritize security, especially in regulated industries.

Performance-wise, the Cisco 3200 is equipped with advanced processing capabilities, enabling it to handle high data throughput even in demanding environments. This performance is bolstered by the use of Cisco's proprietary technologies, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic shaping, which allow the prioritization of critical applications to ensure seamless connectivity.

The router series also benefits from Cisco's extensive software ecosystem, which includes Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System). IOS provides a familiar interface for network administrators, alongside a wealth of features for configuration and management. Furthermore, the Cisco 3200 Series is designed to integrate with Cisco's Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions, offering enhanced flexibility in managing network resources.

Connectivity options for the Cisco 3200 Series are extensive, offering support for various WAN technologies, including MPLS, LTE, and broadband internet. This versatility enables organizations to choose the best connectivity solutions according to their geographic and operational requirements.

Finally, the Cisco 3200 Series routers are built with reliability in mind. They are designed for high availability and redundancy, ensuring that network services remain uninterrupted in the event of hardware failures or maintenance activities.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems 3200 routers represent a comprehensive networking solution, combining scalability, security, performance, and reliability, making them a preferred choice for organizations looking to enhance their networking infrastructure in a dynamic digital landscape.
