You can manage and monitor the LifeSize Multipoint unit locally or from
remote connections. You can also upgrade LifeSize Multipoint software.
The LifeSize Multipoint unit is equipped with an SNMP agent. You can access
the LifeSize Multipoint unit using an SNMP management client.
You should access the LifeSize Multipoint unit using a local port connection for
preliminary configuration and monitoring.
The LifeSize Multipoint unit includes a DB-9 serial port connector and an RJ-45
serial port connector. The DB-9 serial port is used to access the boot sequence
menu from a local PC. Using a terminal emulation application running on the
PC, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to the LifeSize Multipoint
unit.
The RJ-45 serial port is used to connect a PC terminal to the LifeSize Multipoint
unit.
You can perform software upgrades by using the LifeSize Upgrade Utility to
upload files via a network or modem connection to the LifeSize Multipoint unit.
For more information, see the
chapter.
The LifeSize Multipoint Administrator is a web interface that allows you to
configure general LifeSize Multipoint unit settings, monitor LifeSize Multipoint
unit operation, create or edit services, manage media processor units and
perform maintenance.
You access the LifeSize Multipoint Administrator web interface in the LifeSize
Multipoint unit access window by signing in as an Administrator.
You can use your web browser from any remote PC station to monitor and to
configure the LifeSize Multipoint unit. A web server is installed in the LifeSize
Multipoint unit to facilitate the use of the remote web-based monitoring and
management.
Access to the LifeSize Multipoint configuration interface is controlled by a user
name and a password. Once you have entered the settings you want, you should
upload them to the unit for them to take effect, or you can save them to a
configuration file to be loaded at a later time.
