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.
