Technical Description of TANDBERG Gateway with software version G2

4.6 System Management

TANDBERG provides a comprehensive set of management tools, and is committed to the use of standards-based tools.

The TANDBERG Gateway can be managed in many ways:

￿The internal web server allows for remote control of the TANDBERG Gateway using a web interface from anywhere on the LAN/WAN/Internet (open browser http://TANDBERG Gateway-ipaddress)

￿The Application Program Interface (API) allows for connecting a computer directly to the system via the RS232 port or from anywhere on the LAN/WAN/Internet via Telnet or FTP.

￿The TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) may also be used to manage the system and the TANDBERG Scheduler may be used to schedule conference meetings (Optional).

4.6.1Ethernet/LAN Interface

There are two Ethernet/LAN interfaces on the TANDBERG Gateway, of which only one is currently in use. The LAN interface supported on the TANDBERG Gateway is 10base-T and 100base-T compatible, and is used for H.323 conferences as well as management features of the TANDBERG Gateway, such as connecting to the internal web-server, Telnet and FTP-server.

The system supports the following settings of this interface:

•	Auto	The TANDBERG Gateway will auto-detect the speed/duplex on the LAN
•	10/Half	The TANDBERG Gateway will connect to the LAN using 10Mbps
•		speed/Half Duplex
	10/Full	10 Mbps speed/Full Duplex
•	100/Half	100	Mbps speed/Half Duplex
•	100/Full	100	Mbps speed/Full Duplex

‘DHCP’ (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) can be selected when a DHCP server is present. When using DHCP, IP-address and IP-subnet mask and IP gateway are not used since the DHCP server assigns these parameters.

If ‘Static’ is selected, the system’s IP-address and IP-subnet mask must be specified in the IP configuration menu.

4.6.2Platform Requirements

The management tools are based on standard protocols, obviating the need for special programs running on the management computer.

The management computer may be any computer running a standard operating system (i.e. the management computer may be a Personal Computer running the Windows 95/98/2000/NT
