Cisco Cisco TelePresence MCU 4510 Maintenance Manual

■

If you select the User settings check box, the current user accounts and passwords will be overwritten with
those in the supplied file. If you overwrite the user settings and there is no user account in the restored file
corresponding to your current login, you will need to log in again after the file has been uploaded.

By default, the overwrite controls are not selected, and therefore the existing network settings and user accounts will
be preserved.

Note that you can also back up and restore the configuration of the MCU using FTP. For more information, refer to

Backing up and restoring the configuration using FTP

Enabling MCU Features

The MCU requires activation before most of its features can be used. (If the MCU has not been activated, the banner
at the top of the web interface will show a prominent warning; in every other respect the web interface will look and
behave normally.)

Advanced MCU features (such as Video Firewall) are not enabled as standard, and require additional activation. For
information about configuring the video firewall, refer to the Knowledge Base section in the support pages of the web
site.

If this is a new MCU you should receive the MCU already activated; if it is not, you have upgraded to a newer firmware
version, or you are enabling a new feature, you may need to contact your supplier to obtain an appropriate activation
code. Activation codes are unique to a particular MCU so ensure you know the MCU's serial number such that you
may receive a code appropriate to your MCU.

Regardless of whether you are activating the MCU or enabling an advanced feature, the process is the same.

To activate the MCU or enable an advanced feature:

Check the Activated features (MCU activation is shown in this same list) to confirm that the feature you
require is not already activated.

Enter the new feature code into the Activation code field exactly as you received it, including any dashes.

Click Update features. The browser window should refresh and list the newly activated feature, showing the
activation code beside it. Activation codes may be time-limited. If this is the case, an expiry date will be
displayed, or a warning that the feature has already expired. Expired activation codes remain listed, but the
corresponding feature will not be activated.
If the activation code is not valid, you will be prompted to re-enter it.

Cisco recommends that you record the activation code in case you need to re-enter it in the future.

Successful MCU or feature activation has immediate effect and will persist even if the MCU is restarted.

Note that you can remove some MCU feature keys by clicking the Remove link next to the feature key in this page.
