How to configure your system

Before you can start using your video conference system 

you must set the basic configurations as described in this 

chapter.

Using a provisioning system, or configuring each
video conference system individually

Provisioning allows video conferencing network 

administrators to manage many video systems 

simultaneously. In general, you only have to input the 

credentials of the provisioning server to each video system; 

the rest of the configuration is done automatically.

Without a provisioning system, you must configure each 

video system individually. As a minimum, you must set the IP 

and SIP/H.323 parameters. You should also set the correct 

time and date. 

Basic configuration with or without a provisioning system is 

described in the remainder of this chapter.

Different user interface

We describe how to configure the video system using 

either the Touch controller, the remote control or the web 

interface.

We also describe how to set the menu password using the 

command line interface.

The descriptions are marked with the following colors.

About user roles, user accounts and passwords

System/codec password

You need ADMIN rights to configure the system via web.

User roles: A user must possess one or a combination 

of several 

user roles

. Three user roles exist, representing 

different rights: ADMIN, USER and AUDIT. It is important to 

note that these roles have 

non-overlapping rights

. 

A complete administrator user account with full access 

rights, like the default 

admin

 user, must possess all the three 

roles. 

NoTE:

 Initially, no password is set for the default 

admin

 

user. We strongly recommend that you set a password for 

this user, and any other user possessing an ADMIN role, to 

restrict access to system configuration. 

You can read more about how to create and manage user 

accounts in the Administrator guide for your product. 

Menu password

NoTE:

 Initially, no menu password is set. We strongly 

recommend that you set a menu password to restrict access 

to the Administrator menus on the Touch controller and 

remote control. 

You need to enter this password to be able to configure the 

video system using a Touch controller or remote control.
