Step 1 is all that is required to set up your QSX system. If you plan to use it with
a Polycom conference phone, please connect the following cables as well:
•
8-wire cable
for phone console. Connect the 8-wire cable from the back
of the QSX unit to the Polycom conference phone.
•
Conference Link Cable
. For use with a Polycom VTX 1000 conference
phone only. Connect the cable from the phone to the back of the QSX
unit.
Note:
You will also need a POTS module cable that connects to the SoundStation
console. This cable ships with the SoundStation phones.
Set an IP Address
By default, the QSX system obtains its IP address automatically. You need the IP
address of the QSX system in order to access its Admin Web interface.
If your QSX system obtains its IP address automatically, it is displayed as
My IP
on the
Info screen when you press the Info button on the content controller, or the
INFO
soft
key on the SoundStation VTX 1000 conference phone.
If your location does not allow dynamic IP address assignment, contact your IP network
service provider or system administrator to obtain an IP address and system name. You
must manually assign the static IP address to the QSX system before you use it.
Note:
The default mode for IP Address is dynamic. This means that the QSX system
will automatically request an IP address from a DHCP server if there is one on your
network.
Accessing the QSX Web Admin Page
To see if your QSX system obtained its IP address automatically, follow these steps:
1.
Once QSX is connected, hit the Info button on Content Controller.
2.
If screen shows an IP address in the “My IP” field, go to the next step. You may
need to wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
QSX unit. Otherwise, proceed to the following sections for setting a Static IP
Address.
3.
Open your internet browser and type in the IP address, followed by “/admin.htm”
(e.g. https//140.242.16.45/admin.htm) as shown in the picture below.
Setting a Static IP Address via the QSX Web Admin Page
1.
