Cisco UC320W Administration Manual page 6

Startup Process
After you log on to the configuration utility, one of the following processes occurs.
• If you are launching the configuration utility for the first time, you will be prompted to enter a new
username and password. Then the Getting Started with the Cisco UC320W appears, guiding
you through the initial setup tasks.
• If you have applied a configuration, the system loads your settings and the latest status
information. You can review or modify the settings as needed. Note: If you have a saved
session with a more recent time stamp than the most recent applied configuration, you will be
prompted to choose the file that you want to launch.
Getting Started with the Cisco UC320W
The Getting Started menu provides access to essential tasks. Especially if you are a new user of this
tool, it is strongly recommended that you click each link and perform each task in the specified order. A
new window will display more information about the selected task. Experienced users may choose to
skip tasks. Click the Begin configuration button to proceed into the Configuration module.
Note: The Begin configuration button is available after you either complete or skip the tasks in the
menu.
Goal: Watch the introductory video
You can launch the tutorial from the Getting Started menu or the Help menu near the top right corner of
the window. If you are using the configuration utility for the first time, you may find it helpful to watch this
short video to become familiar with the features. After viewing the video, close the pop-up window.
Goal: Choose your network topology
Choose your network topology. For help, click the Help Me Choose button or position your mouse
pointer over the pointer icons on the screen. Choose your topology, enter any required settings, and
then click Apply Now. The Cisco UC320W may reboot as the settings are applied. Depending on the
topology changes, you may need to align your PC with new network addressing. You also may need to
reconnect to the configuration utility by entering a new LAN IP address into the web browser.
Caution: This task is especially important if you are installing the Cisco UC320W in a network where
another device acts as the DHCP server. IP address conflicts will result if two DHCP servers exist on the
same network. If you have another DHCP server, be sure to complete this task before you connect any
LAN devices.
Goal: Upgrade firmware
Configure your Internet connection to enable access to the web. Although you can click Skip and
complete this step later, it is recommended that you enable your Internet connection immediately.
When your Internet connection is enabled, the Cisco UC320W Configuration Utility accesses the
following types of Cloud Features:
• Additional Help menu items, such as Small Business Support Community
• Additional top-level menu items running Cloud Applications, such as a Feedback form
• A Cloud Application that runs automatically and may perform any of the following functions:
• Offers firmware upgrades that you can install with the click of a button.
• Sends notifications providing helpful information for UC320W administrators.
• Remotely administers Platform Modification Files.
• Collects system information, such as configuration files (excluding passwords), installed
firmware, Platform Modification Files, and language settings.
WAN Settings
WAN Type: Choose the type of Internet connection that is required by your service provider. Then enter
the information for the selected WAN type. (A DHCP connection is made automatically.) Refer to the
information provided by your service provider for your Internet service account. For information about the
fields on the screen, you can position your mouse pointer over a field to view a tooltip.
After entering your settings, click Apply Now to apply the settings immediately.
If you want to upgrade the firmware by using a file from your PC, click Upgrade from your PC, and
select the file.
