Getting the Network Ready

Connecting to the LAN

This guide covers network types used worldwide. Please note that not all
network types are available in all countries.
Before you begin configuring the network options, you must make sure your
network is ready for video conferencing.
To begin, refer to the Preparing Your Network for Collaboration document,
available on the Polycom Resource Center at extranet.polycom.com. This
document contains information you need to prepare your network, such as
worksheets that will help you order ISDN.
Polycom also offers high-definition readiness services. For more information,
please contact your Polycom distributor.
You must connect the system to a LAN to:
• Make H.323 or SIP calls
• Use the Global Directory Server
• Access the web interface
• Use People+Content™ IP
• Update system software
