DMA Getting Started Guide
8 Polycom, Inc.
Alternate Procedure: Configure the Polycom DMA System
Server(s) Without Using the USB Stick
If for some reason you don’t have or can’t use the Polycom DMA USB
Configuration Utility on the USB memory stick, the following procedure
enables you to complete the initial setup using only a laptop PC and an
Ethernet cable.
This is possible because Polycom DMA system servers are shipped with
default network settings that you can use to connect to the system. The settings
are:
IP address:
192.168.1.101
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
To configure the Polycom DMA system server(s) using a laptop PC
1
Follow the unpack and install procedure ( page 3 ) through step 7 . Do not
connect the server(s) to the enterprise network.
2
Configure the network settings on your laptop to put it on the same
network segment as the Polycom DMA system server(s) (see the server’s
default settings above). For instance, you can use the following settings:
IP address:
192.168.1.20
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
3
Connect an Ethernet cable between your laptop and the GB 1 interface of
the first (or only) server (the one you want configured as Node 1) .
You can use the cable that will later connect the server to the switch
(enterprise network). Be sure you connect to the server’s GB 1 interface,
not the GB 2 interface.
4
On the laptop, point your browser to
http://192.168.1.101
(if a
security certificate warning appears, ignore it) and log in with user ID
admin
and password
admin
.
The Polycom DMA system’s management interface appears, displaying
the
Dashboard .
5
Go to Configuration > System > Network , enter the network values from
the First-Time Setup Worksheet , and click Update . When asked to
confirm restarting the system, click Yes .
The system begins to reboot.
