Configuration
Initial monitoring and administration of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit are
performed from a remote PC via a serial connection. This allows you to access the boot configuration
menu of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU
unit . At power-up, the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit goes through the following boot phases:
• Auto-boot—The embedded operating system initializes and displays basic information.
• Configuration menu—A six-second countdown allows you to enter the configuration menu.
• Initialization—The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit completes its boot sequence
and is ready for operation.
Note You can perform serial port configuration of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU unit only
at startup, during a short period indicated by a six-second countdown. Once the initialization phase is
complete, the only way you can access the configuration menu is by restarting the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3515 MCU
unit .
