Instructing conference participants

You need to tell conference participants how to join conferences. You can also tell
them how to use the Far-End Camera Controls (FECC) to navigate menus in the auto
attendant and choose conference layouts. There is a document: Getting Started:
Accessing Conferences
available in the documentation area of the web site, which you
can print out and give to conference participants.

Checking for updates

It is a good idea to regularly check for updates to the main MCU software image.
This section describes how to upgrade the MCU using the web. Note that you can
also upgrade the MCU using FTP; this can be more reliable if you are upgrading the
device remotely. Upgrading your device via FTP is described in the release notes that
are available alongside the software images in the support section of the web site.
To check for, and download, updates:
1

Log in to the MCU web interface and go to

Status

2

Make a note of the software version that is currently installed.

3

Go to the support section of the web site and check if a more recent release is
available for the MCU.

If a more recent release is available, download it and save it locally.

To upgrade the MCU:
