To access the system using the V500 web interface:
1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the system's IP address (for example,
http://10.11.12.13) to go to the V500 web interface.
3. Enter admin as the user name, and the remote access password, if a
password has been established.
You can use the V500 web interface to configure all of the system settings
except the remote management settings. For security reasons, these settings
must be configured on the local system by an administrator.
The Web Director feature within the V500 web interface allows administrators
of the V500 system to monitor a call or the room where the system is installed.
For security reasons, this feature can only be enabled on the local system by an
administrator.
To enable room and call monitoring:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > Security.
2. Select and enable Allow Video Display on Web to allow the room
or call to be viewed remotely.
To view a room or call:
1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the system's IP address (for example,
http://10.11.12.13) to go to the V500 web interface.
3. Go to Utilities > Web Director.
4. Perform any of the following tasks:
— Place or end a call
— View near and far sites
— Change PIP properties
— Adjust system volume settings
— Mute and unmute the microphone
You can view near and far sites without opening Web Director by clicking on
System Setup and then clicking on the monitor icon in the top right corner of
the browser window.
