for the new settings take effect. To do this,
type the command:
xCommand boot
•
Once it has rebooted, the VCS is ready to use.
You can continue to use the serial connection,
or you can connect to the system remotely over
IP using either or both:
the
•
via HTTPS
•
via SSH or Telnet.
We recommend that you now configure the
following:
The system name of the VCS. This is used by
•
the TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) to
identify the system. See
for more information.
Automatic discovery. If you have multiple
•
VCSs in the same network you may want
to disable automatic discovery on some
of them. See
for more
information.
The DNS server address (if URI dialing
•
or FQDNs are to be used). See
for more information.
To start the VCS:
Ensure the power cable is connected.
1.
Ensure the LAN cable is connected to the
2.
LAN1 port.
Turn on the power switch on the back right
3.
of the unit (adjacent to the power cable).
Press the soft power button on the back left
4.
of the unit.
The system will power up. Wait until:
the green PWR LED on the front of the unit
•
is a steady green color (it may flash briefly
during power up).
the red ALM LED on the front of the unit has
•
gone out.
the IP address is showing in the display
•
panel on the front of the unit.
You now must set the system's IP address,
subnet mask and default gateway before the
system can be used. Consult your network
administrator for information on which
addresses to use. Note that the VCS must use
a static IP address.
The initial configuration can be done:
by connecting from a PC to the VCS
•
serial cable
via the buttons on the front pane
if your network is set up to allow it, by
•
to the default
IP address of 192.168.0.100.
Powering on the VCS
Initial Configuration via Serial Cable
!
Do not leave a terminal emulator
session open once it is no longer in
use. An open session may cause
issues during a system restart.
The IP configuration made via the serial
cable applies to the LAN 1 ethernet
port only. If you have enabled the
LAN 2 port (by installing the Dual Network
Interfaces option key) you must use the web
interface or CLI to configure the LAN 2
settings.
!
If the red ALM LED flashes rapidly it
indicates a hardware fault. Contact your
local TANDBERG representative.
The yellow HDD LED indicates disk activity and
may flicker during normal operation, more so
on a busy system.
