User interfaces
The principal operating device for your Cisco TelePresence
video conference system is either a remote control or a Touch
controller. The remote control is not available for the EX Series
and MX Series.
Additionally, you can configure your system through its web
interface, provided that the system is already connected to a
network and you know the IPaddress.
In the appendices we describe how to use the Touch control-
ler and the remote control and the on-screen menu. We also
describe how to navigate and use the web interface.

How to configure your system
Before you can start using your video conference system you
must set the basic configurations as described in this chapter.
Using a provisioning system, or configuring
each video conference system individually
Provisioning allows video conferencing network administrators
to manage many video systems simultaneously. In general,
you only have to put in the credentials of the provisioning
server to each video system; the rest of the configuration is
done automatically.
Without a provisioning system, you must configure each
video system individually. As a minimum, you must set the IP
and SIP/H.323 parameters. You should also set the correct
time and date.
Basic configuration with or without a provisioning system is
described in the remainder of this chapter.
Different user interfaces
We describe how to configure the video system using the
Touch controller, the remote control or the web interface.
We also describe how to set the menu password using the
command line interface.
The descriptions are marked with the following colors.
About user roles, user accounts and passwords
System/codec password
You need ADMIN rights to configure the system via web.
User roles: A user must possess one or a combination of
several user roles. Three user roles exist, representing differ-
ent rights: ADMIN, USER and AUDIT. It is important to note
that these roles have non-overlapping rights.
A complete administrator user account with full access rights,
like the default admin user, must possess all three roles.
You can read more on how to create and manage user accounts
in the administrator guide for your product.
NOTE: Initially, no password is set for the default admin user.
We strongly recommend that you set a password for this user,
and any other users possessing an ADMIN role, to restrict
access to system configuration.
A warning on the screen of your video system indicates if no
administrator password is set. To remove the warning you
must set an administrator password.
Menu password
NOTE: Initially, no menu password is set. We strongly recom-
mend that you set a menu password to restrict access to the
Administrator menus on the Touch controller and the remote
control. The menu password can be set with the remote
control or on the web interface.
You need to enter this password to configure the video system
using a Touch controller or a remote control.

Provisioning set-up
(when using a provisioning system)
Your system may be configured by an external provision-
ing system. This way a number of settings are provisioned
automatically, and you (most likely) do not have to set the IP,
H.323, SIP and Time and Date settings.

Setting the IP parameters
(when not set by a provisioning system)
Your video conference system must be connected to an IP
network. Both IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6) are
supported. In both cases, the IP parameters can be assigned
automatically by the network, or you can set everything manually.

For networks administered through Cisco TMS (Cisco
TelePresence Management Suite) your Cisco TMS adminis-
