NCast Telepresenter M4 - Manual (Page 16)

NCast Telepresenter Reference Manual
The Contact e-mail should be the address of the owner/administrator of the unit or an address where
questions or service requests concerning the unit are sent. The email address should be formatted according
to RFC 822, for example, [email protected].
3.1.4. Contact phone
The Contact phone should be the number of the owner/administrator of the unit or a number of a service
desk, which a user could contact for help with regards to the media stream being generated. The phone
number should be formatted with a + sign replacing the international access code. For example, a phone
number in the United States would appear as “+1-800-555-1212”.
3.1.5. Contact location
The location of the unit. The degree of precision of the location is at the discretion of the systems
administrator. For example, one might enter “Sunnyvale, CA” or “Room 23B, Building 5, San Jose Campus,
2050 Tasman Drive, San Jose, CA”.
3.1.6. Contact web page
The Contact web page can be the URL of the Contact name’s personal web page, department, service
group, help page or course material outline.
3.1.7. Time zone
The Time zone setting is required so that the timestamp information embedded in the archive filenames
correctly matches the local time-of-day.
3.1.8. Network Time Protocol
When enabled the unit’s system time is synchronized with public or private NTP servers. When disabled the
system time is not synchronized and may drift over longer time periods. This option takes effect immediately.
If the NTP client is disabled an additional setting for manual time and date setup shows up. The NTP client
requires a proper DNS configuration to work correctly.
Selection of this option requires that the network in use allows the Telepresenter to access external, publicly
available time servers. If you are on a private or closed network, local NTP servers may be listed in the “NTP
server N” fields.
Disable this selection if access to the network time servers is not available (closed network) or if the unit is
being used in a temporary location with a standalone hub or router (e.g. a tradeshow, conference or demo).
Bootup time will be substantially reduced if the system does not wait for a response from non-existent time
servers.
3.1.9. Serial Number and Revision Information
At the bottom of the Unit Options page internal system information is listed including:
• Serial number of the hardware unit
• System ID – Required for entry of license information
• Options – Software configuration options valid for this unit
• Hardware architecture in use and firmware revision numbers
• Software release revision and date
• System date and time
3.1.10.Configuration/Reset Buttons
On the right side of the web page are seven buttons which may be used to configure, restart or reset the
unit:
• Shutdown – Powers down the unit and is recommended as the proper means to turn off a
Telepresenter if it will be idle for some time or is to be moved or reconfigured. All operating
parameters will be properly saved and restored.
