Getting the Network Ready

Connecting to the LAN

Configuring LAN Properties

This chapter 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 Network Planning Worksheets for Video Conferencing
document, available on the Polycom web site. This document contains
information you need to prepare your network.
You must connect the system to a LAN to:
• Make H.323 or SIP calls
• Use a Global Directory Server
• Register with a management system
• Access the web interface
• Use People+Content™ IP
In IPv4/IPv6 hybrid networks, the system tries IPv6 first. If that fails, the
system tries to place the call using the IPv4 address.
