Polycom Audio and Video manual Using the Setup Wizard, Establishing an Administrator Password

Administrator’s Guide for the V500 System

Using the Setup Wizard

When you power on the system for the first time, a setup wizard begins to run. The setup wizard automatically detects your system’s IP and ISDN connections, and it leads you through the minimum steps you need to take to place a video call.

As you go through the setup wizard, you may need additional information or you may want to change a default setting. If this is your situation, refer to the rest of this chapter. You will find information there about how to configure your IP and ISDN connections for your particular network environment.

Establishing an Administrator Password

The setup wizard enables you to set an administrator password, which allows you to limit access to the Admin Settings. The administrator password may contain letters and numbers, but no other characters. The default administrator password is the system’s serial number.

If you change the password, make sure you remember it. If you forget the password, you will have to reset the system, delete the system files, and run the setup wizard again in order to access the Admin Settings and reset the password. You cannot set the administrator password from a remote location.

Note that if you establish an administrator’s password during the setup wizard, you will need to enter it each time you wish to change advanced settings.

Running the Setup Wizard

You can run the setup wizard in either of these two ways.

❑Directly on the system — Use the remote control to navigate the screens and enter information. You can use the number pad on the remote control to enter text just like you can with a cell phone.

❑From a remote location — Use a web browser to access the V500 web interface. To do this, your network must be set up and you need to know the IP address of the system; therefore, this may not be an option if you are installing your system for the first time in a new location. For more information about remote management, refer to Managing the System Remotely on page 5-1.
