General information

About the TANDBERG Video Communications Server

(VCS)

The TANDBERG VCS enhances the video experience and provides seamless communication

between SIP and H.323 devices utilizing IETF and ITU standards. The VCS is the center of

the video communication network and connects all H.323 and SIP endpoints, infrastructure,

and management devices. The VCS provides unrivaled scalability and redundancy to video

communications, and is integral to TANDBERG interoperability with uniﬁed communications

and Voice over IP systems. The VCS can be deployed with either the Control application or

the Expressway™ application, with various optional packages including FindMe™ and Dual

Network Interfaces.

VCS Control

The VCS Control provides internal video control and administration for all SIP and H.323

devices. It is normally deployed within your wide area network with endpoints that are behind

the same ﬁrewalls or NAT devices.

The VCS Control replaces the need to have separate H.323 gatekeeper, SIP registrar and

H.323-SIP gateway servers.

VCS Expressway™

The VCS Expressway provides standards-based ﬁrewall traversal for SIP and H.323 devices

allowing secure traversal of any ﬁrewall or NAT device. It provides registration of traversal-

enabled devices and STUN Discovery and STUN Relay services.

The VCS Expressway is normally deployed within your DMZ.

Installing the VCS

General warnings

Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the VCS.

•

Do not place hot objects directly on top of, or directly beneath the VCS.

•

Preparing the installation site

Before installing the VCS:

Make sure that the VCS is accessible and that all cables can be easily connected.

•

To ensure adequate ventilation, leave a space of at least 10cm (4 inches) behind the VCS’s

•

rear panel and 10cm (4 inches) in front of the front panel.

The room in which you install the VCS should have an ambient temperature between 0ºC

•

and 35ºC (32ºF and 95ºF) and between 10% and 90% non-condensing relative humidity.

Use a grounded AC power outlet for the VCS.

•

Preparing the unit

Unpack the unit.1.

Mount the rack ears or rubber feet.2.

Turn the unit back on its feet or mount it in the rack.3.

TANDBERG recommends that if this product is mounted in a rack you use additional

support accessories such as rack side support angles (rack angle brackets) or rack

shelves, due to the unit’s weight and depth. Contact your rack supplier to request the

accessories best suited for your rack.

Connecting the cables

Connect the power cable to the back of the VCS (see Figure 1).1.

Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the2. LAN1 port on the front of the VCS to your

network (see Figure 2).

Powering on the VCS

Turn on the power switch on the back right of the unit (adjacent to the power cable).1.

Initial conﬁguration

Press the soft power button on the back left of the unit. The system will power up. Wait2.

until:

the green PWR LED on the front of the unit is a steady green color (it may ﬂash brieﬂy

•

during power up)

the red ALM LED on the front of the unit has gone out

•

the IP address is showing in the display panel on the front of the unit.

•

If the red ALM LED ﬂashes rapidly it indicates a hardware fault. Contact your local

TANDBERG representative. The yellow HDD LED indicates disk activity and may

ﬂicker during normal operation, more so on a busy system.

Initial conﬁguration

Before you can use the VCS, you must conﬁgure its IPv4 address, subnet mask and default

gateway. Consult your network administrator for information on which addresses to use. Note

that the VCS must use a static IP address.

This initial conﬁguration can be done:

by connecting from a PC to the VCS using

• a serial cable. This is the recommended

process, and is described in the following section

by using

• the buttons on the front panel. See the VCS Administrator Guide for details

if your network is set up to allow it, by

• connecting using a web browser to the default

IP address of 192.168.0.100 (described in “Using the web interface” on page 7).

Initial conﬁguration using a serial cable

To set the initial conﬁguration using a PC connected to the VCS DATA port via a serial cable:

Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the1. LAN1 port on the front of the VCS to your

network.

Connect the supplied serial cable from the2. DATA port on the front of the VCS to the serial

port on a PC.

DATA port LAN1 port

Figure 2: VCS front view

Initial conﬁguration

Start a terminal emulator program on the PC and conﬁgure it to use the PC’s serial port as3.

follows:

baud rate: 115200 bits per second

•

data bits: 8

•

parity: none

•

stop bits: 1

•

ﬂow control (hardware and software): none.

•

Do not leave a terminal emulator session open after it is no longer in use. An

open session may cause issues during a system restart.

Turn on the power switch on the back right of the unit (adjacent to the power cable).4.

Press the soft power button on the back left of the unit. The system will power up. Wait5.

until:

the green PWR LED on the front of the unit is a steady green color (it may ﬂash brieﬂy

•

during power up)

the red ALM LED on the front of the unit has gone out

•

the default IP address (

• 192.168.0.100) is showing in the display panel on the front

of the unit.

The terminal emulator program on the PC will display the VCS’s start up information.
