Note:
Recording requires approximately 8000 bytes/second
(480 kbytes/minute or 0.5 MB/minute). When you are recording a presentation with
audio, an insignificant amount of space is needed for the presentation because a history
of time stamps is recorded for each appearance of a slide. (A single copy of each slide
that was presented is made; no matter how many times the same slide appeared.)
Example:
For a Powerpoint presentation, each page requires between 65 and 75 kbytes/page. If the
Powerpoint presentation contained 10 pages, regardless of how many times each slide
appeared during the session, the presentation would consume between 650 and 750
kbytes. The audio consumption would be added to this amount to yield the total space
needed.
To connect the server to the network
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
1
Mount the server in the rack.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2
Connect the server to a power source.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3
Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the server.
You will only need these temporarily, to assign the server its initial IP address.
(Alternatively, you could perform this step using the server’s serial port, connected to a
computer running a terminal emulator (for example, HyperTerminal) application.

4
Plug an Ethernet cable into the primary Ethernet port. Connect the other end of the cable
to your network.

For PSTN servers:
a. Connect the crossover cable: Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet
port in the PSTN board. Usually, this is the rightmost port on the board.
Connect the other end of the cable to the secondary Ethernet port.
b. Connect T1/E1 or PRI cables to the trunk ports on the PSTN card.
Note:
For a stack server, the PSTN board and secondary Ethernet are connected to
a backplane switch. A crossover cable is not used.
