Configuring Direct Connections to the
Collaboration Server
Direct connection to the Collaboration Server is necessary if you want to:
• Modify the Collaboration Server’s Factory Default Management Network settings without
using the USB memory stick.
• Connect to the Collaboration Server’s Alternate Management Network for support
purposes.
• Connect to the Collaboration Server via a modem.
Management Network (Primary)
If you do not want to use the USB memory stick method of modifying the Collaboration
Server’s Management Network parameters, it is necessary to establish a direct connection
between a workstation and the Collaboration Server.
Configuring the Workstation
The following procedures show how to modify the workstation’s networking parameters
using the Windows New Connection Wizard.
For non-Windows operating systems an equivalent procedure must be performed by the
system administrator.
Before connecting directly, you must modify the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
settings of the workstation to be compatible with either the Collaboration Server’s Default
Management Network or Alternate Management Network.
To modify the workstation’s IP addresses:
1On the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Network Connections.
