Configuring Network Use
The V500 system is factory configured to enable you to easily and quickly
make video calls in most network situations. However, because networks vary
from business to business and home to home, you may need to change some
of the default settings or perform other network configuration.
This chapter begins by helping you determine which type of network
configuration you have. It then provides you with the steps you need to take
to prepare your particular network for video calling.
If you need to change any of the initial settings to accommodate your
organization’s environment, you can manually adjust them using the screens
described in this chapter.
Because there are two models of V500 system, your system might not display
all of the configuration choices listed in this chapter.
Using the Setup Wizard
When you power on the system for the first time, the setup wizard detects
your system’s IP and ISDN connections, and leads you through the minimum
configuration steps required to place a call.
The setup wizard allows you to set a room password, which allows you to
limit access to the Admin Settings. The default room password is the 14-digit
system serial number.
Make sure you can recall the room password if you set one. If you forget the
password, you will have to reset the system, delete the system files, and run the
setup wizard again in order to access the Admin Settings and reset the password.
For information about resetting the system, see
Reset System on page 7-6 .
