2.5 Gatekeeper Initial Configuration

The TANDBERG Gatekeeper requires some configuration before it can be used. This must
be done using a PC connected to the serial port (Data 1).

The main thing that needs to be configured is the IP settings of the Gatekeeper. This includes
the IP address, the IP subnet mask, and the IP gateway. The Gatekeeper has to be
configured with a static IP address. Consult your network administrator for information on
which addresses to use.

To set the initial configuration, do the following:

1. Connect the supplied null-modem RS-232 cable from Data 1 to a PC running a

terminal program.

2. Start the terminal program and configure it with baud rate 115200, 8 data bits, no

parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

3. Power on the unit if it is not already on.

4. You should see the unit display start up information.

5. After approximately 1 minute you will get a login prompt.

6. Enter username

admin

and your password. The default password is TANDBERG.

7. You will be prompted if you want to run the install wizard. Type
