Managing the System Remotely

Using the V500 Web Interface

Accessing the V500 Web Interface

You can configure, manage, and monitor the system from a remote computer
using the system's web interface, the V500 web interface. You can also use the
Polycom Global Management System, or SNMP.
Your choice of management tool depends on your network environment:
• V500 web interface requires only a web browser to control the system.
• Polycom Global Management System requires the Global Management
System application to be installed on your network.
• SNMP requires network management software on your network
management station.
You can use the V500 web interface to perform most of the calling and
configuration tasks you can perform on the local system.
To configure your browser to use the V500 web interface:
1. Be sure that you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later as your web
browser.
2. Configure these settings:
— Allow cookies: Enabled
— Force pages to reload on every visit to a page: Enabled
