Component	Description
10/100 BaseT connector	An RJ-45 connector that provides the primary Ethernet connection for the IP
	network port.
Serial connector	A DB-9 connector that allows you to connect a PC terminal for local
	configuration.
RST button	Allows you to reset the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit
	manually.
GK Reg and MC LEDs	Lights green when the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit is
	registered with a gatekeeper.
CPU High LED	Lights green when more than 50% of the Cisco Unified
	Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit resources are in use.
ACT LED	Lights green to indicate that there is at least one currently active conference
	on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit.
ALARM LED	Lights green to indicate that an error has occurred and the Cisco Unified
	Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit requires resetting.
10/100 BaseT LEDs	The top part of the 10/100 BaseT connector contains two LED indicators.
	The left-hand LED lights green when the local IP network link is active. The
	right-hand LED lights green if the connection speed is 100 Mbps, and is off
	when the connection speed is 10 Mbps.

Preparing to Install the 3515 MCU

This section describes the installation requirements for installing the Cisco Unified

Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit.

•Proper clearance at the sides of the unit to allow adequate ventilation, and at least 20 cm clearance at the back of the unit to allow access to cable connections

•A PC with a serial port and terminal emulation software to assign the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit an IP address

•Two dedicated IP addresses—one each for the MCU and EMP units

•The IP address of the router that the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit will use to communicate across the network

•For an H.323 environment, IP address of the H.323 gatekeeper with which you want the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit to register
