Installing

Installing the unit in a rack

See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/install.html#wp1341126

for information on how to install the unit in a rack.

Connecting and powering on the unit

Attach a power cord to the power supply in your server, and then attach the power cord to a grounded AC

power outlet. See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_

computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/spec.html#wp1070378 for power specifications.

The power button of the unit is located in the top left-hand corner of the front panel.

If this is the first time that the power switch has been turned on after connecting the power cable, the system

will perform a Self Test and the unit will automatically restart.This is expected behavior. The system will be

operational after it has booted up a second time. The first boot will take approximately 2 minutes.

To verify the power status look at the Power Status LED (see Figure 3: Front view of the CiscoTelePresence

VideoCommunicationServer unit. [p.12]):

nOff—There is no AC power present in the server.

nAmber—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the CIMC and some motherboard

functions.

nGreen—The server is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all server components.

Configuring

Before you can use the CiscoVCS, you must configure its IPv4 and/or IPv6 address, subnet mask and

default gateway. Consult your network administrator for information on which addresses to use. Note that the

CiscoVCS must use a static IP address.

This section describes how to connect to the CiscoVCS and perform the initial configuration.

Connecting to the CiscoVCS

Before you can use the CiscoVCS, you must configure its IPv4 and/or IPv6 address, subnet mask and

default gateway. Consult your network administrator for information on which addresses to use. Note that the

CiscoVCS must use a static IP address.

Note: an additional IPaddress is required if the CIMC(Cisco Integrated Management Controller) tool is used.

It can be a static IP address or assigned via DHCP.

This initial configuration can be done:

nby connecting from a PC to the CiscoVCS using a serial cable (see Connecting via the serial port [p.8]

followed by Configuring the CiscoVCS [p.9]).

nby connecting a monitor and keyboard directly into the unit (see Connecting via the KVM port [p.9] followed

by Configuring the CiscoVCS [p.9]).

nif your network is set up to allow it, by connecting using a web browser to the default IP address of

192.168.0.100 (see Using the web interface [p.10]).

Figure 1: Rear panel showing ports.

The rear panel ports are:

1 VGAport

2 Serial port

3 Dedicated management port (can be used for CIMCin the

future)

4 LAN1 (left-hand 1-Gb copper port)

5 LAN2 (right-hand 1-Gb copper port)

6 LAN3 (not currently used)

7 LAN4 (not currently used)

8 USB port

9 USBport

Figure 2: Front panel showing KVM connector.

The front panel port is:

1 KVMconnector

Connecting via the serial port

To connect to the CiscoVCS via the serial port:

1. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the LAN 1 port on the rear of the unit to your network.

The LAN 1 port is the left-hand port of the dual port adapter on the rear panel of the unit (shown in Figure 1:

Rear panel showing ports. [p.7]).

2. Connect a serial cable from the serial port on the rear of the unit to the serial port on a PC (see Figure 1:

Rear panel showing ports. [p.7]).

The serial cable used must be a cross-over cable. The pin assignment for the serial cable is:

Male RJ45 pin Female DB9 pin

1 8

2 6

3 TXD 2

4 GND 5

5 GND 5

6 RXD 3

7 4

8 7

Note:if there is no DB9 port on your PC, a DB9 to USBserial port adapter is required.

3. Start a terminal emulator program (for example PuTTY) on the PC and configure it to use the PC’s serial

port as follows:

Cisco TelePresence VCSCE500 Appliance Installation Guide (8.5) Page 8 of 16

Configuring

lbaud rate: 115200 bits per second

ldata bits: 8

lparity: none

lstop bits: 1

lflow control (hardware and software): none

Note: do not leave a terminal emulator session open after it is no longer in use. An open session may

cause issues during a system restart.

Connecting via the KVM port

1. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the LAN 1 port on the rear of the unit to your network.

The LAN 1 port is the left-hand port of the dual port adapter (shown in Figure 1: Rear panel showing ports.

[p.7]).

2. Either:

lconnect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor via a KVMadaptor to the KVM connector on the front panel

(see Figure 2: Front panel showing KVM connector. [p.8]), or

lconnect a USBkeyboard to the USBport and a VGA monitor to the VGAport on the rear panel (see

Configuring [p.7]).

Configuring the CiscoVCS

When you have connected to the CiscoVCS and powered up the system, perform the following steps for the

initial configuration:

1. If the system has just booted up, the terminal emulator program on the PC will display the CiscoVCS’s

startup information. After approximately four minutes you will get the login prompt.

If the CiscoVCS was already on when you connected the serial cable, press Enter to get the login

prompt.

The login prompt is

cisco login:

2. Enter the username admin and press Enter.

You will get the password prompt:

Password:

3. Enter the default password of TANDBERG and press Enter.

You will get the install wizard prompt:

Run install wizard [n]:

4. Type yand press Enter.

5. Follow the prompts given by the install wizard to specify the following:

lthe password you want to use for your admin account

Note: for security reasons you are advised to change the password from the default of TANDBERG.

lwhether you want to use IPv4, IPv6 or Both

lthe LAN 1 IP address of the CiscoVCS

lthe LAN 1 IPv4 subnet mask of the CiscoVCS (if you have selected IPv4)

lthe IP default gateway of the CiscoVCS

lthe Ethernet speed

Note: use the default value of Auto.

lwhether you want to use SSH to administer the CiscoVCS

6. After the wizard is finished the following message will appear:

Cisco TelePresence VCSCE500 Appliance Installation Guide (8.5) Page 9 of 16

Configuring

Setting other settings...OK.

The system must be restarted for new

settings to take effect..

And you will get a restart prompt:

Restart Now?

Type yand press Enter.

7. After it has rebooted, the CiscoVCS is ready to use. You can access the CiscoVCS's web interface via

the IP address assigned to the LAN 1 Ethernet port.

Note: for security reasons you are advised to change the password for the default admin account (if you

have not already done so) and the root account from the default of TANDBERG.

Using the web interface

To use the web interface:

1. Open a browser window and in the address line type either:

lthe IP address of the CiscoVCS

lthe FQDN of the CiscoVCS

The Login page will appear.

2. Select Administrator Login.

3. Enter a valid administrator username and password and select Login.

You will be presented with the Overview page.

See the online help or CiscoTelePresence VideoCommunicationServer Administrator Guide for information

on the configuration options available for each page of the CiscoVCS web interface.

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

The command line interface is available over SSH and through the serial port by default.

To use the command line interface:

1. Start an SSH session.

2. Enter the IP address or FQDN of the CiscoVCS.

3. Login with a username of admin and your system password.

You will see a welcome message.

For a full list of CLIcommands available on the CiscoVCS, see CiscoTelePresence

VideoCommunicationServer Administrator Guide.

Changing the admin account password

To change the password for the admin account using the web interface:

1. Go to Users > Administrator accounts. You are taken to the Administrator accounts page.

2. Click on View/Edit for the admin name.

3. In the Password and Confirm password fields, enter the new password, and click Save.

The Password strength box will indicate how secure your chosen password is.

To change the password for the admin account using the CLI:
