Video Processing Module Initial Configuration for the 3515 MCU

Connecting the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU Unit to the LAN

This section describes how to connect the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit to the Local Area Network (LAN).

Procedure

Step 1 Connect the supplied LAN cable from your network hub to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on the front panel of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit. The 10/100BaseT port accepts an RJ-45 connector.

Step 2 Turn on the power to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit.

Video Processing Module Initial Configuration for the 3515 MCU

You must also configure an IP address for the video processing module. The IP address of the video processing module must be different than the IP address configured for the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit.

Initial monitoring and administration of the video processing module 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 lower serial port on the front panel of the Cisco Unified

Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit as described in the “Connecting to a PC” section on page 2-5. 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 Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit IP address.

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