System 4.0 Restore Procedure

Use the restore procedure to configure the Intel® TeamStation™ System to its

factory-installed configuration.

WARNING! This procedure will erase all of the files on the disk, including the Intel

TeamStation System directory of numbers, any documents stored on the system

with the Intel TeamStation Document Server, and any applications and their data.

You will need to copy files and data that you want to keep to diskette, network drive,

etc. before beginning the restore procedure.

NOTE: Only the System Administrator should perform the restore procedure. (This process takes approximately

two hours.)

Installation of TCP/IP on the Intel® TeamStation™ System is required to make LAN (Local Area Network) calls

and for use of the Intel TeamStation Document Server services. Without this installation the LAN TCP/IP

Connection Type and the Intel TeamStation Document Server services will be disabled. The TCP/IP protocol

does not come preinstalled on the system due to the customization required during its installation.

To install the TCP/IP protocol you will need the following items before proceeding:

1. Microsoft Windows NT* 4.0 CD-ROM.

2. Static IP address if not using a DHCP server for assigning IP addresses.

3. Computer name.

4. Domain name if attaching to a Domain.

5. The Administrator password for the Intel TeamStation System 4.0.

6. Information on configuring RAS (Remote Access Services) if this service will be used.

If any of the above items or information is not available contact the Intel TeamStation System Administrator.

To install the TCP/IP protocol:

1. Login to the Intel TeamStation System as ‘Administrator’.

2. Open the ‘Control Panel’ from the ‘Settings’ menu on the ‘Start’ menu.

3. Open the ‘Network’ control panel.

4. Click ‘Change’ on the Identification tab.

5. Enter the appropriate ‘Computer Name’ and ‘Domain’ or ‘Workgroup’.

6. Click ‘OK’ to approve this information.

7. Switch to the ‘Protocols’ tab and click ‘Add’.

Dashboard-like Utility

The Dashboard-like utility is designed to keep track of the status of both B (bearer) channels on your ISDN line

during an Intel® TeamStation™ System connection. The Dashboard-like utility puts an icon in the systray to

graphically monitor the B channels. The icon has 2 columns, and each column has 4 color bars. The columns

represent each of the B channels, and the bars represent the progress of the connection.

How to use the Dashboard like utility

Watch the lights on the icon. On the first column, rows 1 and 2 should turn yellow, and then rows 1,2,3,4 turn

green when first making a connection. Row 4 may turn red or row 3 may turn blue, briefly. This is normal. If they

stay red or blue, then there is a problem. Next, the second column should repeat the process.

Description:

Dashboard displays (after Succeeding):

Establish a connection

(First and Second rows turns Yellow)

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

MultiFrame Alignment

(First, Second, Third and fourth rows turn Green)

(Aligning communications)

If CRC errors continue to occur, the Fourth row will turn red (Rows 1, 2, and 3 will all be green) This indicates a problem on

the ISDN line.

If there are transmit errors (the system receives notification from the remote side that it received an error in the transmission),

the third row will light up with blue.

It is possible to have both CRC errors and transmit errors at the same time. If the CRC and transmit errors occurred on the

first channel, before the second channel was initiated, the icon would look like:

When both lines are established, and with no errors, the icon should look like:

Troubleshooting errors on the Dashboard-like utility

Only one of the columns has any lights on it:

This is because there is only 1 b channel connected. The other hasn't dialed yet, or the channel was closed for

some reason. Some of the most common causes for channels being closed:

•

The second channel line is busy.

There are 2 numbers for the machine being called, but only 1 number is being dialed. Click the check box

labeled "Use two ISDN numbers" and enter the second number in the second box.

•

Too many CRC/Transmit errors on the first channel (the top bar will be red). This will prevent the second

channel from being initialized. If problems continue, contact the ISDN service provider to request a BERT

test on the line. This will help isolate the problem on the line.

The connection is a voice call. Voice calls only use 1 b channel.

One column has 4 green lights, but the second column has a steady blue and red on the third and fourth

row:

The second channel is experiencing a high rate of errors. Common causes include:

•

The connection is going over a 56K trunk. To specify using 56K channels instead of 64K channels,

append a # sign at the end of the first number.

Example:

15552251111#

15552251112

•

The ISDN line has a problem. Contact the ISDN service provider to test the ISDN line.

First channel shows 2 lights, but then the call disconnects:

This means the ISDN line is not able to align the packets. Common causes include:

•

Problems with the ISDN line.

Hardware conflicts caused by new hardware being added.

For additional assistance with connection problems refer to the ISDN Troubleshooting document.

•

Audio Information

Clicking noise using the mute function

Clicking noises may be heard when hanging up a call or muting/un-muting a call. This does not affect the

functionality or connectivity of the system.

•

Video Information

Display adapter not correctly configured

If the initial setup of Microsoft Windows NT* 4.0 and Intel® TeamStation™ System Admin Tools setup is canceled

or not completed, the Display Adapter driver may not be correctly installed. To resolve this issue follow the

instructions in the Installing ATI 3D Rage Pro* Display Driver section.

Video image distortion on white surfaces

The video camera may experience purple and blue patterns on white surfaces. This will not affect your ability to

conference with other video endpoints.

Black line on video window

A black line may appear on the left side of the video window. This will not affect your ability to conference with
