This booklet is divided into three sections: Ready..., Set..., and Go...
Here’s what you’ll find in each section:
Ready...
How to make sure the network is ready, where you can set up your system, and what you should find
in each of the boxes.
Set...How to connect the cables, including monitor cables, camera and audio cables, and the PC audio
jumper cable; how to set up the microphone, receiver, remote control, keyboard, and ImageShare;
how to connect network cables (LAN, ISDN, V.35 or RS-449); how to attach the power cable; and
recommendations on how to set up your room.
Go...How to start up the system, and where you can find more information.
To install the system, follow this booklet page by page. In most cases, however, you’ll be able to skip some
pages. For example, if your system has a PictureTel 80 camera and a LAN network interface, you can skip
the pages that discuss the PictureTel 70 camera and the other network interfaces.

Before you begin installing the PictureTel®970 or PictureTel 960 system, you should make sure that the
network is ready.
The document Preparing Your Network for Collaboration contains worksheets that will help you get the network
ready. For example, for ISDN networks, the worksheets list the ISDN BRI dialect, the Network Number Type,
and so on. You can find a copyof the Preparing Your Networkfor Collaboration document at the PictureTel
documentation web site,http://documentation.picturetel.com. You or your network administratorshould
follow the procedures in thisdocument to prepare the network.
To connect to a LAN, you must have a LAN cable. If you don’t have a LAN cable, contact your system
administrator.

Before you unpack all of the PictureTel 970 or PictureTel 960 components, decide where you want to set up the
system. You can set it up either on a tabletop or on a cart, and you can position the computer box either
