video conference system individually
Provisioning allows video conferencing network
administrators to manage many video systems
simultaneously. In general, you only have to input the

the rest of the configuration is done automatically.
Without a provisioning system, you must configure each
video system individually. As a minimum, you must set the IP
and SIP/H.323 parameters. You should also set the correct
time and date.
Basic configuration with or without a provisioning system is
described in the remainder of this chapter.

user. We strongly recommend that you set a password for
this user, and any other user possessing an ADMIN role, to
restrict access to system configuration.
