Chapter 3 - Initial System Setup

3-3

Installing the MGC Manager

To set up conferences and to control the MGC unit you must install the MGC 
Manager software on a PC. Up to 30 MGC Manager-enabled PCs can be 
connected to each MGC-25. A single MGC Manager-enabled PC can manage 
multiple MGC systems.

During the installation, default Reservation templates are installed.

To install the MGC Manager software:

1.

Insert the software CD into the CD drive.

2.

On the 

Start

 menu, click 

Run

.

The 

Run

 dialog box opens.

3.

Type 

D:\SETUP

 (where D is the name of the CD drive), and then click 

OK

.

The installation wizard starts and the

 License Agreement 

window opens.

The MGC-25 is shipped with a default IVR Service, default Entry 
Queue Service, and a default conference profile. For information 
about restoring these services when upgrading MCU software, refer 
to the 

MGC Administrator’s Guide, Chapter 5
