3. Configure Network Settings
Step 1.
Press the button on the front panel.
Initial power-up takes about two minutes.
Step 2.
Access the Windows
®
Network Control Panel and
configure the server TCP/IP settings as necessary
for your network.
❖
To allow LAN access only, configure a private
internal IP address. External users will have
access to the system only via VPN.
❖
To allow external WAN access, configure a
public IP address and open TCP port 80 if the
server is located in the DMZ, or configure a
private IP address with a NAT rule on the firewall
that allows access via a public IP address.
❖
For VoIP systems that require WAN access,
Sonexis suggests deploying Microsoft
®
Forefront
®
in the DMZ with forwarding rules to
the conferencing server on the LAN (contact
Customer Care for details).
❖
To use SSL, open TCP port 443 and install a
server certificate. There are multiple options
for configuring audio and web firewall
ports described in the
ConferenceManager
Administration Guide
.
You may also wish to configure a simple DNS entry
for the server, such as
conferencing.example.com
.
4. License the System
Step 1.
Open
http://
Your_Server_Name
:8097
in Internet
Explorer.
Step 2.
Log into the conferencing system as
sysadmin
using the password
Password!
.
The License page appears when you first log in.
Step 3.
Enter the license key provided with your system
and click
Apply
.
The license key is printed on a sheet included in the
accessory bag.
Step 4.
See the
ConferenceManager Administration Guide
,
available via the
Help
button on any conferencing
system screen, for details on configuring your
system’s telephony settings and other features.
1. Prepare the Installation Site
❖
Choose a site with proper temperature control and
adequate floor loading capacity for the current
installation and for future growth.
❖
Install near appropriate AC outlets and Ethernet switches
(10/1000 Base-T cables cannot be longer than 100m).
❖
All cabinets must be mounted securely. The installer
must provide the cabinet-specific installation hardware.
If you are installing the server in a rack, contact Sonexis
for a special-order rail kit.
❖
Leave sufficient clearance around the cabinet to allow
for free airflow and for server access.
❖
If you are installing multiple systems in a cabinet, make
sure the overall loading for each branch circuit does not
exceed the rated capacity.
❖
Install servers in the lower part of the cabinet because of
their weight and to allow easier access.
❖
Do not slide more than one server out from the cabinet
at a time — doing so may destabilize the cabinet.
❖
Install the server bezel and close cabinet doors to
maintain proper cooling when not being serviced.
2. Install and Cable the Server
Step 1.
Unpack the server and find the mounting hardware.
Step 2.
Choose the vertical position in the cabinet where
the rails will be installed.
Step 3.
Following the installation instructions provided with
the rails:
a.
Separate the inner members from the slides.
b.
Install the slides into the cabinet.
c.
Attach the inner members to the server chassis.
d.
Install the server chassis to the fixed slides and
slide the chassis into the cabinet.
Step 4.
Connect the power cords to two
separate
circuits.
Step 5.
Connect the server to your network via the leftmost
Ethernet port (LAN1) — see
Server Connections
on
the reverse side of this document.
Step 6.
Connect the server to a physical or network KVM,
or connect an external keyboard/mouse/monitor to
the USB and video ports.
Step 7.
For PSTN and Hybrid systems, connect the T1
cables as described in
T1 Cabling for PSTN & Hybrid
Systems
on the reverse side of this document.
VoIP systems require no additional cabling.
