About the Initial EMP Configuration
When you are working with a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 EMP, you must also perform
network configuration of this module.
Initial monitoring and administration of the EMP are performed from a remote PC using a terminal
emulation application, such as HyperTerminal. To make the serial connection, connect a PC terminal to
the front panel serial port of the EMP board as described in the
“Connecting to a PC” section on
page 2-18 . The serial configuration utility runs as a target configuration service. You can use the serial
configuration utility to:
• Configure default network port values.
• Modify the configuration software password.
• Modify the MCU IP address.
• Modify advanced configuration settings such as the web server port and LAN port, and to restore
the factory configuration.
Warning To enable the EMP to function properly, you must configure the EMP with a different IP address to your
MCU.
