Configuring With The Setup Wizard - Polycom VSX Series Administrator's Manual

Configuring with the Setup Wizard

© Polycom, Inc.
When you power on your system for the first time, the setup wizard detects the
system's IP and ISDN connections and leads you through the minimum
configuration steps required to place a call. If you need more information about
these steps, refer to the corresponding sections in this chapter.
This guide covers network types used worldwide. Please note that not all network types are
available in all countries.
The setup wizard allows you to set an administrator password, which allows you
to limit access to the Admin Settings.
If you set an administrator password, make sure you remember it. If you forget the password,
you will have to reset the system, delete the system files, and run the setup wizard again in
order to access the Admin Settings and reset the password. You cannot set the administrator
password from a remote location.
You can run the setup wizard or view the configuration screens in either of these
two ways.
❑
In the room with the system — Use the remote control to navigate the screens
and enter information. You can use the number pad on the remote control to
enter text just like you can with a cell phone.
❑
From a remote location — Use a web browser to access VSX Web. To do this,
you need to know the IP address of the system. Polycom recommends using
Microsoft ® Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.
You can use VSX Web to configure all of the system settings except the remote management
settings. These settings must be configured on the local system by an administrator. For
more information about VSX Web, refer to
Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Use
Accessing VSX Web on page 5-2.
