The gateway module installs in the front of the chassis and provides ISDN or serial functionality. The RTM installs in the rear of the chassis and provides the physical interface for the ISDN or serial line. You must install these modules in corresponding slots in the chassis. That is, if you insert the gateway module in the top slot in the front of the chassis, you must insert the RTM in the top slot in the rear of the chassis.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Warning Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
Warning Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone network cables to avoid contact with telephone network voltages.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Warning The telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector and/or 2) while the housing is open.
Installing the RTM Module
This section describes how to install the RTM module in the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis. The Rear Transition Module (RTM) provides the ISDN or serial line connections for the gateway.
Warning You must install the RTM module before you install the gateway module. Inserting an RTM module in the rear of the chassis when a gateway module is already installed in the same position at the front of the chassis may damage the chassis.
Procedure
Step 1 On the back of the chassis, loosen the screws of the blank panel covering the slot into which the RTM module is to be installed.
Step 2 Remove the blank panel.
Step 3 Remove the new RTM from the antistatic bag.
Step 4 Press the red buttons and open the handles of the RTM module.
Step 5 Align the edges of the RTM module with the chassis guide rails.

Figure 2-19 DB-25 Pin Layout
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.
Installing Online Help on the Network
Online help files for the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Seriess are shipped on the IPVC Software CD-ROM. To use the online help in the gateway interface, you must install the appropriate help files in a shared directory on your network and register the directory location with the gateway interface. This section describes how to install the online help files on your network.
Procedure
Step 1 Identify or create a shared directory on the network in which you want to install the online help files.
Note Make sure that the gateway interface for each gateway you install can access the shared directory.
Refer to your network operating system documentation for instructions about how to configure a shared directory.
Step 2 Insert the Cisco IPVC Software for the IPVC 3500 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of a computer that is connected to your network.
The CD-ROM is configured to automatically start the installation program.
Step 3 Read the Welcome dialog box and click Next.
Step 4 Click Browse and navigate to the shared directory in which you want to install the online help files, and click Next.
Step 5 Select the Custom option button and then click Next.
Step 6 Select your Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Series type option button, and click Next.
Step 7 In the Program Folders field, enter the name of the folder in which you want to copy the online help files and click Next.
The CD-ROM copies the files.
Step 8 Click Finish.
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 Series modules installed in the top slot of a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis
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.
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.
The gateway login page appears.
Step 2 Type the Administrator user name and password in the appropriate fields and click Login. The default global user name is admin. The default password is <null>.
The gateway Administrator interface appears.
Note If you try to sign in as an Administrator and another Administrator is currently signed in, the gateway signs you in as a Read only user and the words Read Only appear at the top of the window. Read only users cannot edit any of the gateway settings.
Registering the Online Help
The online help files for the gateway Administrator interface are shipped on the Cisco IPVC Software CD-ROM. To use the online help, you must install the help files for the appropriate Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Series in a shared directory on your network and register the directory location in the Administrator interface.
Procedure
Step 1 Ensure that you have installed the online help library from the Cisco IPVC Software CD-ROM on your PC.
Step 2 Open a Java-compliant web browser and access the gateway Administrator web interface.
The Administrator login page appears.
Step 3 In the Name field, type you user name.
Step 4 In the Password field, type your password.
Step 5 Click Go.
Step 6 On the sidebar, click Board.
Step 7 Click the Web tab.
Step 8 In the Online Help URL field, type the path to the directory in which the gateway online help files that you want to use are stored as follows:
–If the directory is located on a file server, type:
file://.../shared_directory_name /program_folder
–If the directory is located on a web server, type:
http://.../shared_directory_name /program_folder
Note The online help files are stored in the folder 3500gw by default. The gateway interface retrieves online help text from these files. In the path statement, include all directories in the path up to, but not including, 3500gw
Step 9 On the toolbar, click Upload.
Netscape Navigator Users
Online help files located on the local network and accessed using Netscape Navigator 4.x must be located on a mapped network drive.
