The LifeSize Multipoint Administrator is a web interface that allows you to
configure general LifeSize Multipoint unit settings, monitor LifeSize Multipoint
unit operation, create or edit services, manage media processor units and
perform maintenance.
You access the LifeSize Multipoint Administrator web interface in the LifeSize
Multipoint unit access window by signing in as an Administrator.
You can use your web browser from any remote PC station to monitor and to
configure the LifeSize Multipoint unit. A web server is installed in the LifeSize
Multipoint unit
to facilitate the use of the remote web-based monitoring and
management.
Access to the LifeSize Multipoint configuration interface is controlled by a user
name and a password. Once you have entered the settings you want, you should
upload them to the unit for them to take effect, or you can save them to a
configuration file to be loaded at a later time.
