Instructing conference participants
You need to tell conference participants how to join conferences. You can also tell
them how to use the Far-End Camera Controls (FECC) to navigate menus in the auto
attendant and choose conference layouts. There is a document: Getting Started:
Accessing Conferences available in the documentation area of the web site, which you
can print out and give to conference participants.
Checking for updates
It is a good idea to regularly check for updates to the main MCU software image.
This section describes how to upgrade the MCU using the web. Note that you can
also upgrade the MCU using FTP; this can be more reliable if you are upgrading the
device remotely. Upgrading your device via FTP is described in the release notes that
are available alongside the software images in the support section of the web site.
To check for, and download, updates:
1 Log in to the MCU web interface and go to
Status > General.
2 Make a note of the software version that is currently installed.
3 Go to the support section of the web site and check if a more recent release is
available for the MCU.
4 If a more recent release is available, download it and save it locally.
To upgrade the MCU:
1 Unzip the software release file that you downloaded.
2 In the MCU web interface, go to
Settings > Upgrade.
3In the
Main software image section, click Browse and locate the unzipped file.
4Click
Upload software image. The browser begins uploading the file to the
MCU, and a new browser window opens to indicate the progress of the upload.
When finished, the browser window refreshes and indicates that the software
upgrade is complete.
5Go to
Settings > Shutdown to shut down and restart the MCU.
Note that shutting down the MCU will disconnect all participants.
