TANDBERG 4500 Series manual Instructing conference participants, Checking for updates

Instructing conference participants

You need to tell conference participants how to join conferences. You can also tell them how to use the Far-End Camera Controls (FECC) to navigate menus in the auto attendant and choose conference layouts. There is a document: Getting Started: Accessing Conferences available in the documentation area of the web site, which you can print out and give to conference participants.

Checking for updates

It is a good idea to regularly check for updates to the main MCU software image. This section describes how to upgrade the MCU using the web. Note that you can also upgrade the MCU using FTP; this can be more reliable if you are upgrading the device remotely. Upgrading your device via FTP is described in the release notes that are available alongside the software images in the support section of the web site.

To check for, and download, updates:

1Log in to the MCU web interface and go to Status > General.

2Make a note of the software version that is currently installed.

3Go to the support section of the web site and check if a more recent release is available for the MCU.

4If a more recent release is available, download it and save it locally.

To upgrade the MCU:

1Unzip the software release file that you downloaded.

2In the MCU web interface, go to Settings > Upgrade.

3In the Main software image section, click Browse and locate the unzipped file.

4Click Upload software image. The browser begins uploading the file to the MCU, and a new browser window opens to indicate the progress of the upload. When finished, the browser window refreshes and indicates that the software upgrade is complete.

5Go to Settings > Shutdown to shut down and restart the MCU.

Note that shutting down the MCU will disconnect all participants.
