Logging In to the Video Administration Configuration Tool
The Video Administration Configuration Tool is a client-server application based on Java Web Start that enables administrators to configure Video Administration system settings.
During Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence installation, network settings are defined for Video Administration while other values, such as page length and meeting identifier, are set to default values so that Video Administration can run after installation without additional configuration. The Video Administration Configuration Tool enables you to access and modify the default settings.
Restrictions
You can only access the configuration tool from a client machine with the Java Web Start application. When you log in, the configuration tool detects whether Java Runtime Environment is installed; if not, a message displays with a link to the download site.
Procedure
Step 1 Go to http://hostname:9090/va-config, where hostname is the Cisco Unified Conferencing for TelePresence server.
Step 2 Click Launch Video Administration Configuration Tool.
Step 3 Click Yes when the Warning-Security window displays.
Step 4 Enter sysadmin and the password.
Step 5 Click Login.
