Configuring Startup Network Settings
If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network settings on the
conference station after installing the conference station on the network:
•
IP address
•
Subnet mask
•
Default gateway IP address
•
TFTP server IP address
You also may configure the domain name and the DNS server settings, if necessary.
Collect this information and see the instructions in
Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on the Conference

Guidelines for Best Performance
Follow these guidelines to ensure optimum performance with the conference station and the external
microphones.
Note
See the
“Conference Room Setup Examples” section on page 3-10
for an illustration of proper
equipment placement for different conference room configurations.
•
Use the conference station in closed offices and conference rooms up to 20 feet by 20 feet (without
external microphones) and 20 feet by 30 feet (with external microphones).
•
Place the conference station base on a flat surface and make sure that it is clear from any reflective
surfaces.
•
Maintain a minimum distance of four feet between each external microphone and the
conference station base and other objects.
•
Make sure that all microphones are acoustically unobstructed.
•
Position the external microphones toward the areas that need to be covered, and so that the main
pickup direction is pointed away from the conference station.
•
Seat all conference participants the same distance from the conference station.
•
Speak at normal conversation levels and direct your voice toward the conference station.
•
Do not move or handle the conference station base or the external microphones while on a call, and
do not shuffle papers near the equipment.
•
Minimize background noise from air conditioning units, fans, or other equipment in the office or
conference room.
