Adding the system to the network
Your service provider should have provided you with the information you need to
get online.
• For H.323 type of communication, this will include such things as system
name, H.323 alias, gatekeeper address, etc.
• For SIP type of communication, similar type of information will be supplied.
• For networks administrated through TMS (TANDBERG Management Suite),
your TMS administrator will be able to assist you when configuring.
The H.323 and SIP profiles are configured from the Advanced configurations
menu:
Navigate to Settings > Advanced > Advanced configuration and make a search
for H323 or SIP, or select H323 > Profile 1 or SIP > Profile 1 from the menu
• Expand the items in need of modification and enter the information supplied by
your service provider.
Verify your settings
We strongly recommend that you verify the settings by inspecting the System
Information list.
You do this by accessing the System Information in the same way as you did
when you verified you IP address setting.
1. Navigate to Settings > System Information
2. Verify the previous configurations.
• If you successfully registered to a Gatekeeper the Status will show
Registered. If the registration failed the Status will show Not registered.
• If you successfully registered to a SIP server the Status will show
Registered. If the registration failed the Status will show Not registered.
3. Press Home ( ) to exit.

The video outputs at Codec C90
About monitors
The main monitor
The main monitor can be connected to the default video output HDMI
1 or one of the other outputs which are HDMI 3, DVI-I 2 or DVI-I 4.
When connecting to HDMI 1
When you connect the main monitor to the default video output on
Codec C90 the menu, icons and other information on screen (OSD -
on screen display) will show on this monitor.
When connecting to DVI-I 2, DVI-I 4, HDMI 3
When connecting the main monitor to another video output, and no
menu shows on screen, you must run a shortcut on the remote control
to reset the resolution and move the OSD to this output.
The resolution will be set to the default value, which is
1280x720@60Hz for HDMI and 1024x768@60Hz for DVI.
The menu on screen, icons and other information (OSD - on screen
display) will be moved to the selected output.
Key sequence
If connected to DVI-I 2, DVI-I 4 or HDMI 3 you must run the following
shortcut or key sequence on the remote control.
• Disconnect * # * # 0 x # (where xis output 2, 3or 4)
Example: Set DVI-I 2 as the OSD output:
• Disconnect * # * # 0 2 #
You can also set the resolution and the OSD output by setting up a
serial port connection and run API commands. See the Codec C90
System Integrator Guide for information about API commands.
Dual monitors
When you want to run a dual monitor setup, connect the second
monitor to video output HDMI 3 on Codec C90.
Dual monitor configuration
Go to Administrator settings to set the monitor to dual:
1. Navigate to Settings > Administrator Settings > Video > Output >
