Preparing to Install the 3515 MCU
This section describes the installation requirements for installing the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit.
• Proper clearance at the sides of the unit to allow adequate ventilation, and at least 20 cm clearance
at the back of the unit to allow access to cable connections
• A PC with a serial port and terminal emulation software to assign the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit an IP address
• Two dedicated IP addresses—one each for the MCU and EMP units
• The IP address of the router that the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit will use to
communicate across the network
• For an H.323 environment, IP address of the H.323 gatekeeper with which you want the
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit to register
