To set the initial configuration using a PC
connected to the VCS DATA port via a serial
cable:

Connect the supplied serial cable from the

DATA port on the VCS to the COM port on a
PC.
Start a terminal emulator program on the

PC and configure it to use the DATA port as
follows:

baud rate 115200

•

data bits: 8

•

parity: none

•

stop bits: 1

•

flow control: none.

•

Power on the unit (if it is not already on).

The terminal emulator program will display
start up information.
After approximately 2 minutes you will get
the login prompt (if the unit is already on,
press

The LAN1 IPv4 subnet mask of the system

(if you have selected IPv4).

The IP default gateway of the system.

in order

to skip the wizard.

A welcome message similar to the following
will appear:

Server Release X2.0
SW Release Date: 2008-03-20
OK

You must now reboot the system in order

for the new settings take effect. To do this,
type the command:

xCommand boot

•

Once it has rebooted, the VCS is ready to use.
You can continue to use the serial connection,
or you can connect to the system remotely over
IP using either or both:

the

•

web interface

via HTTPS

•

command line interface

via SSH or Telnet.

We recommend that you now configure the
following:

The system name of the VCS. This is used by

•

the TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) to
identify the system. See

About the System

Name

for more information.

Automatic discovery. If you have multiple

•

VCSs in the same network you may want
to disable automatic discovery on some
of them. See

Auto Discover

for more

information.

The DNS server address (if URI dialing

•

or FQDNs are to be used). See

DNS

configuration

for more information.

To start the VCS:

Ensure the power cable is connected.

Ensure the LAN cable is connected to the

LAN1 port.
Turn on the power switch on the back right

of the unit (adjacent to the power cable).
Press the soft power button on the back left

of the unit.

The system will power up. Wait until:

the green PWR LED on the front of the unit

•

is a steady green color (it may flash briefly
during power up).
the red ALM LED on the front of the unit has

•

gone out.
the IP address is showing in the display

•

panel on the front of the unit.

You now must set the system's IP address,
subnet mask and default gateway before the
system can be used. Consult your network
administrator for information on which
addresses to use. Note that the VCS must use
a static IP address.
The initial configuration can be done:

by connecting from a PC to the VCS

•

via a

serial cable
via the buttons on the front pane

•

if your network is set up to allow it, by

•

connecting via a web browser

to the default

IP address of 192.168.0.100.
