Chapter 2      Installing the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU

  Using the MCU Setup Wizard

Using the MCU Setup Wizard

The MCU setup wizard runs automatically the first time you access the MCU Administrator interface. 
In the setup wizard, you can configure addressing for the MCU IP, H.323 gatekeeper, and Session 
Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy. In the setup wizard, you can also set the regional date and time settings 
of the device on which you manage the MCU. 

Procedure

Step 1

In the Administrator interface, click 

MCU

Step 2

On the toolbar, click 

Setup Wizard

The MCU Setup Wizard dialog box appears, displaying the Board Settings section.

Step 3

To change the IP address information with which the MCU is currently configured, follow these steps:

  •

In the 

IP address

 field, enter the IP address you want to assign to the MCU.

  •

In the 

Subnet mask

 field, enter the subnet mask you want to assign to the MCU.

  •

In the 

Router IP address

 field, enter the IP address of the router that you want the MCU to use.

  •

Click 

Next

.

The H.323 Settings section appears.

Step 4

To set the gatekeeper you want the MCU to use, follow these steps:

  •

In the 

Gatekeeper IP

 field, enter the IP address of the gatekeeper that you want the MCU to use.

  •

In the 

Gatekeeper Port

 field, enter the port number that the MCU can use to communicate with the 

gatekeeper.

  •

Click 

Next

.

The SIP Settings section appears.

Step 5

To change SIP configuration, follow these steps:

  •

In the 

Proxy IP

 field, enter the IP address for the SIP proxy.

  •

In the 

Proxy Port

 field, enter the port for the SIP proxy.

  •

In the 

Default Domain

 field, enter the default domain for the SIP proxy.

  •

Select 

Using Microsoft LCS/OCS

 if the SIP proxy communicates with a Microsoft Live 

Communication Server or Office Communications Server device.

The Date and Time Settings section appears.

Step 6

To synchronize the MCU clock with the clock on the current computer, select 

Update to local time

.

Step 7

Click 

Finish
