Rs-232 / Serial Connection; User Roles - Cisco TelePresence SX20 Codec Reference Manual

Cisco TelePresence SX20 Codec

Introduction

RS-232 / serial connection

The serial connection can be used without an IP address,
DNS or a network. Serial connection is allowed by default.
xConfiguration SerialPort Mode: <Off/On>
For the SX20 codec you need a USB to RS-232 adapter to
connect to the USB port.
Baud-rate and other serial port parameters
The serial port uses 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. The
default baud rate is set to 38400 bps.
The codec can give very much feedback. We therefore
recommend keeping the connection at this speed or higher
to avoid sluggishness.
You can change the baud rate if required.
xConfiguration SerialPort BaudRate:
<9600/19200/38400/57600/115200>
During the initial boot sequence, the codec uses a baud rate
of 38400 bps regardless of the baud rate you have set.
Login and password
You can choose whether login is required or not for serial
connections. For security reasons the password prompting is
turned on by default, but it can be turned off if preferred.
xConfiguration SerialPort LoginRequired: <Off/On>

User roles

A user account may hold one or a combination of user roles.
A user account with full access rights, like the default admin
user, should possess the ADMIN, USER and AUDIT roles.
These are the user roles:
ADMIN: A user with this role can create new users, change
most settings, make calls, and search the contact lists. The
user cannot upload audit certificates and change the security
audit settings.
USER: A user with this role can make calls and search the
contact lists. The user can modify a few settings, for example
adjust the ringtone volume and set the time and date format.
AUDIT: A user with this role can change the security audit
settings and upload audit certificates.
ROOMCONTROL: A user with this role can create in-room
controls. The user has access to the In-room control editor
and corresponding developement tools.
INTEGRATOR: A user with this role has access to settings,
commands and status that are required to set up advanced
AV scenarios, and to integrate our video systems with 3rd
party equipment. Such a user can also create in-room
controls.
Cisco Spark registered systems
If a video system is registered to Cisco's cloud service
(Cisco Spark), only local users with the INTEGRATOR and
ROOMCONTROL user roles are available.
