Configuring the TelePresence Server

Configuring the TelePresence Server

Task 3: Connect to the console port

1. Ensure power is connected to the TelePresence Server and the Status LED is green. A status LED that is
not lit indicates the unit is still booting.
2. Connect the console port of the unit to the serial port of your PC using the RJ45 to DB9 cable supplied.
3. Use a serial terminal program, such as Secure CRT or HyperTerminal, to connect to the unit. Set your
terminal software to the following settings:
Baud rate: 38400
l
Data bits: 8
l
Parity: none
l
Stop bits: 1
l
Flow control: none
l
4. Press Enter and the following command prompt appears on the terminal:
TS:>

Task 4: Configure Ethernet Port A settings

The default setting for the TelePresence Server Ethernet ports is auto-sensing mode. If the switch port to
which you connect the TelePresence Server is not also set to auto-sensing mode, then you need to configure
the device's Ethernet port to use the same speed and duplex mode.
Note: To establish a 1000 Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be configured as auto-sensing.
To configure Ethernet Port A, enter the following for auto-sensing mode:
n
ethertype A auto
or to configure a speed and duplex, use the following command:
ethertype A <10 | 100> <half | full>
For example, to configure a full-duplex 100 Mbps link, enter:
ethertype A 100 full
To display the current configuration and status of the Ethernet ports, enter:
n
status
Task 5: Assign an IP address to the TelePresence Server
(optional)
The default setting for the TelePresence Server is to use DHCP to obtain an IP address. You can assign a
static IP address if you prefer, or if a DHCP server is not available. If you want the IP address of the
TelePresence Server to be assigned by your DHCP server, omit this step.
The TelePresence Server supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. The default configuration for Port A is:
i
Port A will acquire an IPv4 address using DHCP; IPv6 is disabled.
To assign a static IPv4 address to Port A, use the following command:
n
static A <IP address> <netmask> [<default gateway address>]
Note: If you do not have a DNS server, use 0.0.0.0 as the DNS server IP address.
