read-only settings in the Admin Settings. For more information about automatic provisioning, refer to the

and configure LAN, regional, and security properties for the Touch Control. Refer to the following sections
for more information:
●
Configuring the Polycom Touch Control LAN Properties

An admin ID and password might be configured for the Touch Control Administration settings. The default
ID is admin and the default password is 456.
If your RealPresence Group system will be provisioned by the RealPresence Resource Manager
system and you plan to use PKI certificates, make sure you configure the Host Name setting on the
web interface in Admin Settings > Network > LAN Properties > LAN Options with the same name
as the name that the RealPresence Resource Manager system will provision so that certificate
signing requests (CSRs) generated during certificate installation have the correct host name
information in them. For more information about PKI certificates, refer to
Revocation
Service on page 147.
