Initial 3545 EMP Configuration

Connecting the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU to the LAN

This section describes how to connect the MCU to the Local Area Network (LAN).

Procedure

Step 1 Connect the supplied LAN cable from your network switch to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on the front panel of the MCU unit. The 10/100BaseT port accepts an RJ-45 connector.

Step 2 Turn on the power to the MCU unit.

Upgrading Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU Software

You can perform software upgrades by using the Cisco Upgrade Utility to upload files via a network or modem connection to the MCU. For more information, see Chapter 3, “Using the Cisco Software Upgrade Utility”.

Initial 3545 EMP Configuration

When you are working with a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 EMP, you must also perform network configuration of this module.

Initial monitoring and administration of the EMP are performed from a remote PC using a terminal emulation application, such as HyperTerminal. To make the serial connection, connect a PC terminal to the front panel serial port of the EMP board as described in the “Connecting to a PC” section on page 2-8. The serial configuration utility runs as a target configuration service. You can use the serial configuration utility to:

•Configure default network port values.

•Modify the configuration software password.

•Modify the MCU IP address.

•Modify advanced configuration settings such as the web server port and LAN port, and to restore the factory configuration.

Warning To enable the EMP to function properly, you must configure the EMP with a different IP address to your MCU.

Accessing the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 EMP Main Menu

You access the EMP Main configuration menu in the same way as you access the MCU network configuration Main menu as described in the “Procedure” section on page 2-9.

The EMP Main configuration menu appears as follows:

Main menu

N: Configure default network port values

P: Change the configuration software password
