Powering on the VCS |
| Initial Configuration via Serial Cable |
|
|
|
To start the VCS:
1.Ensure the power cable is connected.
2.Ensure the LAN cable is connected to the LAN1 port.
3.Turn on the power switch on the back right of the unit (adjacent to the power cable).
4.Press the soft power button on the back left of the unit.
The system will power up. Wait until:
•the green PWR LED on the front of the unit is a steady green color (it may flash briefly during power up).
•the red ALM LED on the front of the unit has gone out.
•the IP address is showing in the display panel on the front of the unit.
You now must set the system's IP address, subnet mask and default gateway before the system can be used. Consult your network administrator for information on which addresses to use. Note that the VCS must use a static IP address.
The initial configuration can be done:
•by connecting from a PC to the VCS via a serial cable
•via the buttons on the front panel
•if your network is set up to allow it, by connecting via a web browser to the default IP address of 192.168.0.100.
To set the initial configuration using a PC connected to the VCS DATA port via a serial cable:
1.Connect the supplied serial cable from the DATA port on the VCS to the COM port on a PC.
2.Start a terminal emulator program on the
PC and configure it to use the DATA port as follows:
•baud rate 115200
•data bits: 8
•parity: none
•stop bits: 1
•flow control: none.
3.Power on the unit (if it is not already on).
The terminal emulator program will display start up information.
After approximately 2 minutes you will get the login prompt (if the unit is already on, press Enter to get the login prompt):
tandberg login:
4.Enter the username admin and press Enter.
You will get the password prompt:
Password:
5.Enter the default password of TANDBERG and press Enter.
You will get the install wizard prompt:
Run install wizard [n]:
Type y and press Enter.
c.The LAN1 IP address of the system.
d.The LAN1 IPv4 subnet mask of the system (if you have selected IPv4).
e.The IP default gateway of the system.
f.The ethernet speed.
g.Whether you want to use SSH to administer the system.
h.Whether you want to use Telnet to administer the system.
7.Once the wizard is finished you will be prompted to log in again. Login with the username admin and your new password.
8.You will again get the install wizard prompt; this time select n and press Enter in order to skip the wizard.
A welcome message similar to the following will appear:
Welcome to
TANDBERG VCS Release X3.0
SW Release Date: 2008-07-01
OK
9.You must now reboot the system in order for the new settings take effect. To do this, type the command:
•xCommand boot
Once it has rebooted, the VCS is ready to use. You can continue to use the serial connection, or you can connect to the system remotely over IP using either or both:
•the web interface via HTTPS
•a command line interface via SSH or Telnet.
We recommend that you now configure the following:
•The system name of the VCS. This is used by the TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) to identify the system. See About the System Name for more information.
•Automatic discovery. If you have multiple VCSs in the same network you may want to disable automatic discovery on some of them. See Auto Discover for more information.
•The DNS server address (if URI dialing or FQDNs are to be used). See DNS configuration for more information.
If the red ALM LED flashes rapidly it
!indicates a hardware fault. Contact your 
local TANDBERG representative.
The yellow HDD LED indicates disk activity and may flicker during normal operation, more so on a busy system.
6.Follow the prompts given by the install wizard to specify the following:
a.The password you want to use for your admin account. See Default Administrator Account for details.
b.Whether you wish to use IPv4, IPv6 or
Both. See IP Protocol for details.
The IP configuration made via the serial
cable applies to the LAN 1 ethernet port only. If you have enabled the
LAN 2 port (by installing the Dual Network Interfaces option key) you must use the web interface or CLI to configure the LAN 2 settings.
!session open once it is no longer in use. An open session may causeDo not leave a terminal emulator
