Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway

Connecting the Gateway to a Power Source

Connecting the Gateway to a Power Source

This section describes how to supply power to the gateway. The gateway is equipped with an
autoswitching power supply that supports 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz.

Warning

Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed
ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are
uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Procedure

Step 1

Plug a power cord into the power socket on the rear panel of the gateway.

Step 2

Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

Step 3

Turn the power on.

Accessing the Gateway Administrator Interface

The Gateway Administrator is a web interface that allows you to view and configure the gateway
hardware and application parameters. You can use the gateway interface to:

•

Set administrative parameters to define access to the gateway

•

Set gateway application parameters that specify how the gateway processes incoming and outgoing
calls

•

Set chassis operating parameters for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Gateway modules
installed in the top slot of a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis

Before You Begin

The following requirements are necessary to access the gateway Administrator web interface:

•

A Java-compliant browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later is recommended.

•

The gateway IP address or a web link to the gateway.

•

Administrator level-access

•

The required user name and password.

Note

For first-time installation, you must assign an IP address to the gateway using a serial port connection
before you can access the web interface. For more information, see the

“Setting the IP Address” section

on page 2-11

.

Procedure

Step 1

Launch your browser and type the IP address or the name of the gateway.

For example, http://125.221.23.44 or board_name.
