Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway
Connecting the Gateway to a Power Source
Connecting the Gateway to a Power Source
This section describes how to supply power to the gateway. The gateway is equipped with an
autoswitching power supply that supports 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
Warning
Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed
ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are
uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Procedure
Step 1 Plug a power cord into the power socket on the rear panel of the gateway.
Step 2 Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
Step 3 Turn the power on.
Accessing the Gateway Administrator Interface
The Gateway Administrator is a web interface that allows you to view and configure the gateway
hardware and application parameters. You can use the gateway interface to:
• Set administrative parameters to define access to the gateway
• Set gateway application parameters that specify how the gateway processes incoming and outgoing
calls
• Set chassis operating parameters for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway modules
installed in the top slot of a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis
Before You Begin
These are the requirements for accessing the gateway Administrator web interface:
• A Java-compliant browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later is recommended.
• The gateway IP address or a web link to the gateway.
• Administrator level-access
• The required user name and password.
Note For first-time installation, you must assign an IP address to the gateway using a serial port connection
before you can access the web interface. For more information, see the “Setting the IP Address” section
on page 2-11.
Procedure
Step 1 Launch your browser and type the IP address or the name of the gateway.
For example, http://125.221.23.44 or board_name.
