Configuring the MCU
Step one: Log in to the MCU
All administration of the MCU is performed via the web interface.
To log in to the web interface of the MCU:
1 Use your browser to navigate to the IP address of the MCU (to discover the IP
address, refer to the previous section).
2Click the
Log in link on the top right of the screen, then click Change log in
and enter the user name
admin with no password.
Step two: Using an H.323 gatekeeper or SIP registrar (optional)
If you have H.323 endpoints, using an H.323 gatekeeper can make it easier for
participants to call in to a conference. You can configure the MCU to use an external
gatekeeper or its own built-in gatekeeper. For information about using the built-in
gatekeeper, refer to the online help.
If you have SIP endpoints, using a SIP registrar can make it easier for participants to
call in to a conference.
To configure the MCU to use an H.323 gatekeeper:
1 In the web interface of the MCU, go to
Settings > Gatekeeper.
2Enable
H.323 gatekeeper usage and configure the settings you require, using
the online help for further assistance.
3Click
Apply changes.
To configure the MCU to use a SIP registrar:
1 In the web interface, go to
Settings > SIP.
2 Configure the settings you require, using the online help for further assistance.
3Click
Apply changes.
Codian recommends that you change the admin account to use a
password as soon as possible. To do that, go to
Users, click the admin
link, and provide the required user information.
Before you configure the MCU to use, and register conferences to, a SIP
registrar, you must set up the MCU and its conferences on that SIP
registrar.
