How to configure your system

Before you can start using your video conference system you
must set the basic configurations as described in this chapter.
Using a provisioning system, or configuring
each video conference system individually
Provisioning allows video conferencing network administrators
to manage many video systems simultaneously. In general,
you only have to put in the credentials of the provisioning
server to each video system; the rest of the configuration is
done automatically.
Without a provisioning system, you must configure each video
system individually. As a minimum, you must set the IP and
SIP/H.323 parameters. You should also set the correct time
and date.
Basic configuration with or without a provisioning system is
described in the remainder of this chapter.

menu. We strongly recommend that you set a menu password
to restrict access to the Administrator menu on the on-screen
display. The menu password can be set with the remote
control or on the web interface.
After setting the menu password, you need to enter it to
configure the video system when using a remote control.
The menu password, as from software version TC7.0, applies
only to the on-screen Administrator Settings menu. It does
not apply to the Administrator menu on the Touch 8 and
Touch 10 control panels.
