General information

About the Cisco TelePresence Conductor

The Cisco TelePresence Conductor simplifies multiparty video communications. It lies within a video

communications network, working in conjunction with one or more conference bridge(s) and one or

more call control device(s) (either Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Servers (VCSs) or

Cisco Unified Communications Managers (Unified CMs)). It allows the video network to be configured

such that spontaneous or rendezvous* conferences may be easily provisioned, initiated, accessed

and managed.

* personal conferences with a unique conference ID that are often referred to as “MeetMe” conferences

Installing the Cisco TelePresence Conductor

Package contents

To avoid damage to the unit during transportation the Cisco TelePresence Conductor is delivered in a

special shipping box, which should contain the following components:

nCisco TelePresence Conductor unit

nrack ears, screws and Torx driver

nrubber feet

ncables:

lpower cables

lEthernet cable

lshielded serial cable

Report any discrepancies to your Cisco representative immediately.

We recommend that the shipping box is kept in case the Cisco TelePresence Conductor needs to be

returned.

Before you start

IMPORTANT: Before installing the Cisco TelePresence Conductor, you must read the safety

information at www.cisco.com/go/telepresence/safety.

Preparing the installation site

Before installing the Cisco TelePresence Conductor:

nEnsure that the Cisco TelePresence Conductor is accessible and that all cables can be easily

connected.

nEnsure that the power outlet is near to the Cisco TelePresence Conductor and is easily accessible.

nTo ensure adequate ventilation, leave a space of at least 10cm (4 inches) behind the unit’s rear

panel and 10cm (4 inches) in front of the front panel.

lThe Cisco TelePresence Conductor has side air intakes and rear air exhaust. A check should

be made to ensure there is sufficient ventilation, particularly at the sides.

lEnsure that other devices are not exhausting directly into the air intake on the Cisco

TelePresence Conductor. Note that Codian MCU airflow is from right to left, so be especially

careful if racking them to the right of Cisco TelePresence Conductor.

Figure 1: Cisco TelePresence Conductor ventilation

nThe room in which you install the Cisco TelePresence Conductor should have an ambient

temperature between 0ºC and 35ºC (32ºF and 95ºF) and between 10% and 90% non-condensing

relative humidity.

nUse a grounded AC power outlet for the Cisco TelePresence Conductor.

Installing the Cisco TelePresence Conductor

Preparing the unit

1. Unpack the unit.

2. Mount the rack ears (using a Torx T10 driver) or rubber feet.

3. Turn the unit back on its feet or mount it in the rack.

If this product is mounted in a rack you are recommended to use additional support

accessories such as rack side support angles (rack angle brackets) or rack shelves, due

to the unit’s weight and depth. Ensure that units in the rack do not touch each other.

Contact your rack supplier to request the accessories best suited for your rack.

Connecting the cables

1. Connect the power cable to the back of the Cisco TelePresence Conductor (see Figure 2).

2. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the LAN1 port on the front of the Cisco TelePresence

Conductor to your network (see Figure 3).

Powering on the Cisco TelePresence Conductor

1. Turn on the power switch on the back right of the unit (adjacent to the power cable). The system

will power up. If the unit does not start after 3 seconds, press the soft power button.

Wait until:

lthe green PWR LED on the front of the unit is a steady green color (it may flash briefly during

power up)

lthe red ALM LED on the front of the unit has gone out

lthe IP address is showing in the display panel on the front of the unit

If the red ALM LED flashes rapidly it indicates a hardware fault. Contact your local Cisco

representative. The yellow HDD LED indicates disk activity and may flicker during

normal operation, more so on a busy system.

Initial configuration

Before you can use the Cisco TelePresence Conductor, you must configure its IPv4 address, subnet

mask and default gateway. Consult your network administrator for information on which addresses to

use. Note that the Cisco TelePresence Conductor must use a static IP address.

This initial configuration can be done:

nby connecting from a PC to the Cisco TelePresence Conductor using a serial cable. This is the

recommended process, and is described in the following section

nby using the buttons on the front panel (see "Configuration using the front panel" on page 8)

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" on page 9)

Figure 3: Cisco TelePresence Conductor front view

Configuration using a serial cable

To set the initial configuration using a PC connected to the Cisco TelePresence Conductor DATA

port via a serial cable:

1. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the LAN1 port on the front of the unit to your network.

2. Connect the supplied serial cable from the DATA port on the front of the unit to the serial port on a

PC.

3. Start a terminal emulator program on the PC and configure it to use the PC’s serial port as follows:

lbaud rate: 115200 bits per second

ldata bits: 8

lparity: none

lstop bits: 1

lflow control (hardware and software): none

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.

4. Turn on the power switch on the back right of the unit (adjacent to the power cable). The system

will power up. If the unit does not start after 3 seconds, press the soft power button on the back left

of the unit.

5. Wait until:

lthe green PWR LED on the front of the unit is a steady green color (it may flash briefly during

power up)

lthe red ALM LED on the front of the unit has gone out

lthe default IP address (192.168.0.100) is showing in the display panel on the front of the unit

The terminal emulator program on the PC will display the Cisco TelePresence Conductor’s startup

information. After approximately four minutes you will get the login prompt (if the Cisco

TelePresence Conductor was already on when you connected the serial cable, press Enter to

get the login prompt):
