Initial monitoring and administration of the LifeSize Multipoint unit are
performed from a remote PC via a serial connection. This allows you to access
the boot configuration menu of the LifeSize Multipoint unit. At power-up, the
LifeSize Multipoint unit goes through the following boot phases:
Auto-boot—The embedded operating system initializes and displays
basic information.
Configuration menu—A 6-second countdown allows you to enter
the configuration menu.
Initialization—The LifeSize Multipoint unit completes its boot
sequence and is ready for operation.
You can perform serial port configuration of the LifeSize Multipoint unit

only at startup, during a short period indicated by a 6-second countdown. Once the
initialization phase is complete, the only way you can access the configuration
