Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway

Connecting the Gateway to a Power Source

Connecting the Gateway to a Power Source

This section describes how to supply power to the gateway. The gateway is equipped with an autoswitching power supply that supports 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz.

Warning Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Procedure

Step 1 Plug a power cord into the power socket on the rear panel of the gateway.

Step 2 Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

Step 3 Turn the power on.

Accessing the Gateway Administrator Interface

The Gateway Administrator is a web interface that allows you to view and configure the gateway hardware and application parameters. You can use the gateway interface to:

•Set administrative parameters to define access to the gateway

•Set gateway application parameters that specify how the gateway processes incoming and outgoing calls

•Set chassis operating parameters for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway modules installed in the top slot of a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis

Before You Begin

These are the requirements for accessing the gateway Administrator web interface:

•A Java-compliant browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later is recommended.

•The gateway IP address or a web link to the gateway.

•Administrator level-access

•The required user name and password.

Note For first-timeinstallation, you must assign an IP address to the gateway using a serial port connection before you can access the web interface. For more information, see the “Setting the IP Address” section on page 2-11.

Procedure

Step 1 Launch your browser and type the IP address or the name of the gateway.

For example, http://125.221.23.44 or board_name.
