Connecting the MCU

Connecting the MCU

Before you start

Step one: Connect power

Connect the power connector on the rear of the unit to the power supply using the 
supplied power cable. (There is no On/Off switch.)

Step two: Connect to Ethernet Port A

Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet Port A to an Ethernet switch (rather than a 
hub, to minimize interference from other devices on the network). The Ethernet 
port is a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing connection.

IMPORTANT

: Before installing the MCU, you must read the safety 

information at 

http://www.cisco.com/go/telepresence/safety

.

Only connect to Ethernet Port B if you need to connect the MCU to a 
second subnet.

Do not connect Ethernet Port A and Ethernet Port B to the same subnet.
