This section describes sample hardware/software configurations that
support the 3Com IP Conferencing Module.
Three basic configurations are possible. The option you select depends on
the number of hardware servers you have. A minimum of one and a
maximum of twelve servers are supported.
™
All hardware servers run the 3Com VCX Linux operating system.
Definitions of these servers are contained in the 3Com price list.

Option 2: Dual Server If you have two servers, configure the primary server as a “provisioning”
server by installing the web console server, initial master database, VCX
user database, presence server, and conference server on it. Configure
the secondary server with the initial slave database and the conference
server. The database pair (master and slave) provides redundancy, with
the slave maintaining a copy of the master using MySQL database
replication. In the event the slave cannot communicate with the master
for ten minutes, switchover occurs. Note that both servers in a dual-server
configuration can host conferences.

Upgrades
Following the initial implementation, the system can be upgraded in
order to increase system capacity or provide database redundancy. For
example, adding a second server to a single-server implementation will
provide database redundancy.
Upgrades can be performed at any time on fully operational systems.
There is no need to disable any applications that are currently running
when you add a new server.
Post-installation After you run the installation script and assign a role to the servers in your
Setup network, you need to configure the following:
Setting up a Route to the Conference Servers
You must configure the VCX dial plan with a route to your conference
server pool. If your implementation has only one server, then a route to a
single endpoint is required. If your implementation has multiple servers,
then a route to multiple endpoints are required in order to provide
redundancy.
Gathering Site Information
13
Once the route is set up, the VCX system will forward conference calls to
the designated endpoints—conference servers that provide a “routing”
function by redirecting calls to ”hosting” conference servers. A single
conference server can provide both routing and hosting functionality.
Setting up a Route to the Conference Attendant Servers
As with conference servers, it is necessary to configure a route for
conference attendant servers. The VCX dial plan is used for this purpose.
If you have only one server, then a route to a single endpoint is required.
If you have multiple servers, then a route to at least two endpoints are
required for redundancy.
Test E-Mail Notification Setup
You must test the e-mail setup by logging in to the system and sending
an e-mail message using Send-only Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (sSMTP).
If you fail to receive the test e-mail message, you can check for errors in
/opt/logs/vcx-linux/maillog.
Adding the Presence Server as a Trusted Host
To enable presence to function properly, you must add the presence
server to the VCX system as a trusted host.
Gathering Site
Information
The 3Com VCX V7000 hardware servers communicate with each other
using IP addresses. These addresses must be dedicated (static) and must
be compatible with your network design.
One or more 3Com IP Conferencing Module servers may be added to a
VCX system.
Using DNS 3Com recommends that you configure your DNS servers so that they
know the IP addresses of all VCX servers and gateways. If you prefer to
not use DNS, you can edit the /etc/hosts files on the IP Conferencing
Module and all of the VCX servers.
3Com does not support NIS or WINS as domain name resolution methods
for VCX products.

End of System Configuration
The system configuration is complete. If necessary, you can re-run this
portion of the script by entering vcx-setconfigtype.
Start of E-mail (sSMTP) Configuration
After successful completion of the system configuration, the script will
prompt you to set up the e-mail notification utility. The utility sends
e-mails when conferences are created and modified, and when users
attempt to add contacts to their buddy lists. E-mail notification works
once users have added their e-mail addresses to the 3Com IP
Conferencing Module.
Configuration for sSMTP
(1) mailhub
This is the computer responsible for handling your outgoing mail. It could be the
SMTP server of your ISP, or a departmental mailhub. Use the fully-qualified domain
name (foo.bar.baz) of the mailhub; if it uses an unusual SMTP port number, use the
colon syntax
foo.bar.baz:2525
Otherwise sSMTP will use the standard SMTP port number (25).
(Note that sSMTP can support a user-dependent mailhub with the 'reverse aliases'
feature, for which see the man page.)
Please enter your mailhub []: mail.yourcompany.com
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer handling outgoing
mail.
(2) FromLineOverride
This specifies how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail. If
FromLineOverride=YES, sSMTP will leave the From: line alone if it already exists.
If FromLineOverride has any other value, or there is no From: line, sSMTP creates
the From: line using your username (or the -f command-line option), and the value of
the rewriteDomain option (step (4), below). If you use a mail user agent (MUA; e.g.
mutt, pine) I recommend using YES and having the MUA set the From: line.
(Exception: the 'reverse aliases' feature can be used to set up a particular From:
Single Server Initial Installation
29
address for each user, in which case don't use FromLineOverride=YES. See the man
page.)
FromLineOverride? [YES]:
Specify how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail.
(3) hostname
sSMTP uses the hostname of your computer to identify itself to the mailhub, and in
the Received: headers of the outgoing mail. This has relatively little effect on how
the mail is handled. Use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of your
computer(foo.bar.baz). If it doesn't have a FQDN, use some name for your box.
Hostname of your box [conf01.yourcompany.com]:
Enter the host name of your computer handling outgoing mail.
(4) rewriteDomain
Please enter the mail name of your system.
sSMTP uses this value to add a domain to unqualified e-mail addresses(addresses
without an @-sign).
You probably want to use the domain from your own e-mail address.You probably want
to set up your MUA to handle unqualified addresses itself, in which case sSMTP will
never have to use this.
Mail name [conf01.yourcompany.com]:yourcompany.com
Enter the mail name of your system.
(5) root
Last and least: if sSMTP finds an unqualified e-mail address among the recipients,
and it corresponds to a username on your local machine with a userid less than 1000,
then the e-mail is sent to this value instead. The idea is that mail sent to 'root'
should probably go to 'postmaster' instead.
If you set up your MUA to do its own handling of unqualified
addresses, this is irrelevant. Use the default value of 'postmaster' or your own
e-mail address if you're paranoid.
System users receive mail at [postmaster]:postmaster
Enter the system user e-mail address.
Note: check with your e-mail administrator for the proper system user
e-mail address.

name (foo.bar.baz) of the mailhub; if it uses an unusual SMTP port number, use the
colon syntax
foo.bar.baz:2525
Otherwise sSMTP will use the standard SMTP port number (25).
(Note that sSMTP can support a user-dependent mailhub with the'reverse aliases'
feature, for which see the man page.)
Please enter your mailhub []: mail.yourcompany.com
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer handling outgoing
mail.
Dual Server Initial Installation
45
(2) FromLineOverride
This specifies how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail. If
FromLineOverride=YES, sSMTP will leave the From: line alone if it already exists.
If FromLineOverride has any other value, or there is no From: line, sSMTP creates
the From: line using your username (or the -f command-line option), and the value of
the rewriteDomain option (step (4), below). If you use a mail user agent (MUA; e.g.
mutt, pine) I recommend using YES and having the MUA set the From: line.
(Exception: the 'reverse aliases' feature can be used to set up a particular From:
address for each user, in which case don't use FromLineOverride=YES. See the man
page.)
FromLineOverride? [YES]:
Specify how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail.
(3) hostname
sSMTP uses the hostname of your computer to identify itself to the mailhub, and in
the Received: headers of the outgoing mail. This has relatively little effect on how
the mail is handled. Use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of your
computer(foo.bar.baz). If it doesn't have a FQDN, use some name for your box.
Hostname of your box [master.yourcompany.com]:
Enter the host name of your computer handling outgoing mail.
(4) rewriteDomain
Please enter the mail name of your system.
sSMTP uses this value to add a domain to unqualified e-mail addresses(addresses
without an @-sign).
You probably want to use the domain from your own e-mail address.You probably want
to set up your MUA to handle unqualified addresses itself, in which case sSMTP will
never have to use this.
Mail name [master.yourcompany.com]:yourcompany.com
Enter the mail name of your system.
(5) root
Last and least: if sSMTP finds an unqualified e-mail address among the recipients,
and it corresponds to a username on your local machine with a userid less than 1000,
then the e-mail is sent to this value instead. The idea is that mail sent to 'root'
should probably go to 'postmaster' instead.
If you set up your MUA to do its own handling of unqualified
addresses, this is irrelevant. Use the default value of 'postmaster' or your own
e-mail address if you're paranoid.
System users receive mail at [postmaster]:postmaster

Start of E-mail (sSMTP) Configuration
After successful completion of the system configuration, the script will
prompt you to set up the e-mail notification utility. The utility sends
e-mails when conferences are created and modified, and when users
attempt to add contacts to their buddy lists. E-mail notification works
once users have added their e-mail addresses to the 3Com IP
Conferencing Module.
Configuration for sSMTP
(1) mailhub
This is the computer responsible for handling your outgoing mail. It could be the
SMTP server of your ISP, or a departmental mailhub. Use the fully-qualified domain
name (foo.bar.baz) of the mailhub; if it uses an unusual SMTP port number, use the
colon syntax
foo.bar.baz:2525
Otherwise sSMTP will use the standard SMTP port number (25).
(Note that sSMTP can support a user-dependent mailhub with the'reverse aliases'
feature, for which see the man page.)
Please enter your mailhub []: mail.yourcompany.com
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer handling outgoing
mail.
(2) FromLineOverride
This specifies how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail. If
FromLineOverride=YES, sSMTP will leave the From: line alone if it already exists.
If FromLineOverride has any other value, or there is no From: line, sSMTP creates
the From: line using your username (or the -f command-line option), and the value of
the rewriteDomain option (step (4), below). If you use a mail user agent (MUA; e.g.
mutt, pine) I recommend using YES and having the MUA set the From: line.
(Exception: the 'reverse aliases' feature can be used to set up a particular From:
address for each user, in which case don't use FromLineOverride=YES. See the man
page.)
FromLineOverride? [YES]:
Specify how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail.
(3) hostname
sSMTP uses the hostname of your computer to identify itself to the mailhub, and in
the Received: headers of the outgoing mail. This has relatively little effect on how
the mail is handled. Use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of your
computer(foo.bar.baz). If it doesn't have a FQDN, use some name for your box.
60
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION SCRIPTS
Hostname of your box [slave.yourcompany.com]:
Enter the host name of your computer handling outgoing mail.
(4) rewriteDomain
Please enter the mail name of your system.
sSMTP uses this value to add a domain to unqualified e-mail addresses(addresses
without an @-sign).
You probably want to use the domain from your own e-mail address.You probably want
to set up your MUA to handle unqualified addresses itself, in which case sSMTP will
never have to use this.
Mail name [slave.yourcompany.com]:yourcompany.com
Enter the mail name of your system.
(5) root
Last and least: if sSMTP finds an unqualified e-mail address among the recipients,
and it corresponds to a username on your local machine with a userid less than 1000,
then the e-mail is sent to this value instead. The idea is that mail sent to 'root'
should probably go to 'postmaster' instead.
If you set up your MUA to do its own handling of unqualified
addresses, this is irrelevant. Use the default value of 'postmaster' or your own
e-mail address if you're paranoid.
System users receive mail at [postmaster]:postmaster
Enter the system user e-mail address.
Note: check with your e-mail administrator for the proper system user
e-mail address.

End of System Configuration
The system configuration is complete. If necessary, you can re-run this
portion of the script by entering vcx-setconfigtype.
Start of E-mail (sSMTP) Configuration
After successful completion of the system configuration, the script will
prompt you to set up the e-mail notification utility. The utility sends
e-mails when conferences are created and modified, and when users
attempt to add contacts to their buddy lists. E-mail notification works
once users have added their e-mail addresses to the 3Com IP
Conferencing Module.
Configuration for sSMTP
(1) mailhub
This is the computer responsible for handling your outgoing mail. It could be the
SMTP server of your ISP, or a departmental mailhub. Use the fully-qualified domain
name (foo.bar.baz) of the mailhub; if it uses an unusual SMTP port number, use the
colon syntax
foo.bar.baz:2525
Otherwise sSMTP will use the standard SMTP port number (25).
(Note that sSMTP can support a user-dependent mailhub with the'reverse aliases'
feature, for which see the man page.)
Please enter your mailhub []: mail.yourcompany.com
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer handling outgoing
mail.
(2) FromLineOverride
This specifies how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail. If
FromLineOverride=YES, sSMTP will leave the From: line alone if it already exists.
If FromLineOverride has any other value, or there is no From: line, sSMTP creates
the From: line using your username (or the -f command-line option), and the value of
the rewriteDomain option (step (4), below). If you use a mail user agent (MUA; e.g.
mutt, pine) I recommend using YES and having the MUA set the From: line.
(Exception: the 'reverse aliases' feature can be used to set up a particular From:
address for each user, in which case don't use FromLineOverride=YES. See the man
page.)
FromLineOverride? [YES]:
72
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION SCRIPTS
Specify how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail.
(3) hostname
sSMTP uses the hostname of your computer to identify itself to the mailhub, and in
the Received: headers of the outgoing mail. This has relatively little effect on how
the mail is handled. Use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of your
computer(foo.bar.baz). If it doesn't have a FQDN, use some name for your box.
Hostname of your box [master.yourcompany.com]:
Enter the host name of your computer handling outgoing mail.
(4) rewriteDomain
Please enter the mail name of your system.
sSMTP uses this value to add a domain to unqualified e-mail addresses(addresses
without an @-sign).
You probably want to use the domain from your own e-mail address.You probably want
to set up your MUA to handle unqualified addresses itself, in which case sSMTP will
never have to use this.
Mail name [master.yourcompany.com]:yourcompany.com
Enter the mail name of your system.
(5) root
Last and least: if sSMTP finds an unqualified e-mail address among the recipients,
and it corresponds to a username on your local machine with a userid less than 1000,
then the e-mail is sent to this value instead. The idea is that mail sent to 'root'
should probably go to 'postmaster' instead.
If you set up your MUA to do its own handling of unqualified
addresses, this is irrelevant. Use the default value of 'postmaster' or your own
e-mail address if you're paranoid.
System users receive mail at [postmaster]:postmaster
Enter the system user e-mail address.
Note: check with your e-mail administrator for the proper system user
e-mail address.

portion of the script by entering presconf-setup.
Start of IP Conferencing Module Configuration
After successful completion of the database configuration, the script will
prompt you to select an initial configuration.
Enter the fully qualified hostname for this installation.
[host.yourcompany.com]:
Assuming default value as master.yourcompany.com
Enter the fully qualified hostname of the machine you are installing on.
Assuming the userid of the administrator who will manage the

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION SCRIPTS
If the system is configured to send e-mail notification of conference
events to users, the e-mails will appear to be sent from the administrator

this to be a valid e-mail address.

End of System Configuration
The system configuration is complete. If necessary, you can re-run this
portion of the script by entering vcx-setconfigtype.
Start of E-mail (sSMTP) Configuration
After successful completion of the system configuration, the script will
prompt you to set up the e-mail notification utility. The utility sends
e-mails when conferences are created and modified, and when users
attempt to add contacts to their buddy lists. E-mail notification works
once users have added their e-mail addresses to the 3Com IP
Conferencing Module.
Configuration for sSMTP
(1) mailhub
86
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION SCRIPTS
This is the computer responsible for handling your outgoing mail. It could be the
SMTP server of your ISP, or a departmental mailhub. Use the fully-qualified domain
name (foo.bar.baz) of the mailhub; if it uses an unusual SMTP port number, use the
colon syntax
foo.bar.baz:2525
Otherwise sSMTP will use the standard SMTP port number (25).
(Note that sSMTP can support a user-dependent mailhub with the'reverse aliases'
feature, for which see the man page.)
Please enter your mailhub []: mail.yourcompany.com
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer handling outgoing
mail.
(2) FromLineOverride
This specifies how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail. If
FromLineOverride=YES, sSMTP will leave the From: line alone if it already exists.
If FromLineOverride has any other value, or there is no From: line, sSMTP creates
the From: line using your username (or the -f command-line option), and the value of
the rewriteDomain option (step (4), below). If you use a mail user agent (MUA; e.g.
mutt, pine) I recommend using YES and having the MUA set the From: line.
(Exception: the 'reverse aliases' feature can be used to set up a particular From:
address for each user, in which case don't use FromLineOverride=YES. See the man
page.)
FromLineOverride? [YES]:
Specify how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail.
(3) hostname
sSMTP uses the hostname of your computer to identify itself to the mailhub, and in
the Received: headers of the outgoing mail. This has relatively little effect on how
the mail is handled. Use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of your
computer(foo.bar.baz). If it doesn't have a FQDN, use some name for your box.
Hostname of your box [slave.yourcompany.com]:
Enter the host name of your computer handling outgoing mail.
(4) rewriteDomain
Please enter the mail name of your system.
sSMTP uses this value to add a domain to unqualified e-mail addresses(addresses
without an @-sign).
You probably want to use the domain from your own e-mail address.You probably want
to set up your MUA to handle unqualified addresses itself, in which case sSMTP will
never have to use this.
Mail name [slave.yourcompany.com]:yourcompany.com
Multiple Server Initial Installation
87
Enter the mail name of your system.
(5) root
Last and least: if sSMTP finds an unqualified e-mail address among the recipients,
and it corresponds to a username on your local machine with a userid less than 1000,
then the e-mail is sent to this value instead. The idea is that mail sent to 'root'
should probably go to 'postmaster' instead.
If you set up your MUA to do its own handling of unqualified
addresses, this is irrelevant. Use the default value of 'postmaster' or your own
e-mail address if you're paranoid.
System users receive mail at [postmaster]:postmaster
Enter the system user e-mail address.
Note: check with your e-mail administrator for the proper system user
e-mail address.

hostname defined in the network configuration (above).
If the system is configured to send e-mail notification of conference
events to users, the e-mails will appear to be sent from the administrator
(sipadmin@yourcompany.com). Note that some mail agents may require
this to be a valid e-mail address.
Host Identifier (hostid) of this machine is: 75896dc20fa90922ddbb2b81

Please enter the software activation keys one by one; end with an empty line:
Send the host ID to 3Com, which will use it to generate your activation
keys. Once 3Com has returned the activation keys to you, you can paste
them into the install session when prompted.
The activation keys are validated as they are entered. If validation is
successful, the keys will be stored in a license file and the installation
session will continue. If validation is unsuccessful, the installation session
will be aborted.

End of System Configuration
The system configuration is complete. If necessary, you can re-run this
portion of the script by entering vcx-setconfigtype.
Start of E-mail (sSMTP) Configuration
After successful completion of the system configuration, the script will
prompt you to set up the e-mail notification utility. The utility sends
e-mails when conferences are created and modified, and when users
attempt to add contacts to their buddy lists. E-mail notification works
98
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION SCRIPTS
once users have added their e-mail addresses to the 3Com IP
Conferencing Module.
Configuration for sSMTP
(1) mailhub
This is the computer responsible for handling your outgoing mail. It could be the
SMTP server of your ISP, or a departmental mailhub. Use the fully-qualified domain
name (foo.bar.baz) of the mailhub; if it uses an unusual SMTP port number, use the
colon syntax
foo.bar.baz:2525
Otherwise sSMTP will use the standard SMTP port number (25).
(Note that sSMTP can support a user-dependent mailhub with the'reverse aliases'
feature, for which see the man page.)
Please enter your mailhub []: mail.yourcompany.com
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer handling outgoing
mail.
(2) FromLineOverride
This specifies how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail. If
FromLineOverride=YES, sSMTP will leave the From: line alone if it already exists.
If FromLineOverride has any other value, or there is no From: line, sSMTP creates
the From: line using your username (or the -f command-line option), and the value of
the rewriteDomain option (step (4), below). If you use a mail user agent (MUA; e.g.
mutt, pine) I recommend using YES and having the MUA set the From: line.
(Exception: the 'reverse aliases' feature can be used to set up a particular From:
address for each user, in which case don't use FromLineOverride=YES. See the man
page.)
FromLineOverride? [YES]:
Specify how sSMTP handles the From: line of outgoing mail.
(3) hostname
sSMTP uses the hostname of your computer to identify itself to the mailhub, and in
the Received: headers of the outgoing mail. This has relatively little effect on how
the mail is handled. Use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of your
computer(foo.bar.baz). If it doesn't have a FQDN, use some name for your box.
Hostname of your box [slave.yourcompany.com]:
Enter the host name of your computer handling outgoing mail.
(4) rewriteDomain
Please enter the mail name of your system.
sSMTP uses this value to add a domain to unqualified e-mail addresses(addresses
without an @-sign).
Multiple Server Initial Installation
99
You probably want to use the domain from your own e-mail address.You probably want
to set up your MUA to handle unqualified addresses itself, in which case sSMTP will
never have to use this.
Mail name [slave.yourcompany.com]:yourcompany.com
Enter the mail name of your system.
(5) root
Last and least: if sSMTP finds an unqualified e-mail address among the recipients,
and it corresponds to a username on your local machine with a userid less than 1000,
then the e-mail is sent to this value instead. The idea is that mail sent to 'root'
should probably go to 'postmaster' instead.
If you set up your MUA to do its own handling of unqualified
addresses, this is irrelevant. Use the default value of 'postmaster' or your own
e-mail address if you're paranoid.
System users receive mail at [postmaster]:postmaster
Enter the system user e-mail address.
Note: check with your e-mail administrator for the proper system user
e-mail address.

n
Presence Server Configuration
Test the E-mail Notification Setup.
Set up Conference You must program the VCX dial plan with one or more routes to the
Server Routes conference server pool. If you have only one server (an “all-in-one”
implementation), then only one route is required. If you have two or more
servers, then at least two routes are required to provide redundancy. The
VCX system uses the routes to forward SIP INVITE messages to the
designated “routing” conference servers, which in turn redirect callers to
the appropriate “hosting” conference servers.
Different conference types may require different routes. For example, if
users dial the prefix 76 to call Ad Hoc conferences and 74 to call other
conferences, then one route is required for dial pattern 76 and another is
required for dial pattern 74.
For information on how to program the VCX dial plan, see the 3Com VCX
Administration Guide.

Upgrade Installation 109
Upgrade
Installation
Software upgrades are completed by running two scripts: install-upgrade
and vcx-switchversion. The install-upgrade script upgrades the VCX Linux
operating system to the latest version (if necessary) and installs the
software packages. The vcx-switchversion script provisions the system
with the software packages.
It is possible to upgrade from Apps 2.0 to Apps 3.0 provided that the
server is designated as either an all-in-one or primary server.
Distributed For a distributed implementation with two or more servers, follow these
Implementation guidelines when upgrading the system software:
Upgrade Guidelines
1 Run the same version of the install-upgrade script on all servers.
2 From the Servers Monitor screen, stop all processes on all servers.
The db_watchdog process must be stopped manually. To do this, open a
command window on the primary server and enter ps -ef | grep
db_watchdog. The process ID displays. Next, enter kill <process ID>.
3 Ensure that the server that originally hosted the master database is
currently hosting the master database:
n
On the original master server, open cinema_conf. If this file points to
localhost, then the server is still the master. Otherwise, do the
following:
a On the original slave server, go to /opt/3Com/VCX/presconf and type
./scripts/make_slave.sh.
b On the original master server, go to /opt/3Com/VCX/presconf and type
./scripts/make_master.tcl.
4 Run the switchversion script, first on the master server, then on all other
servers.
Sample To run the install-upgrade script:
install-upgrade Script
1 Untar the software files and add them to a directory on the server.
2 Log in to the server as root.
3 Enter a password (default is pvadmin).
4 Go to the directory where the software files are located.
5 Press Enter (or Return).

Sample Run the switchversion script after completing the install-upgrade script
vcx-switchversion for a software upgrade. This script provisions the system with the latest
Script software application packages.

minutes. Accordingly, run the script during a period of low system activity.
To run the switchversion script:
1 Log in to the server as root.
2 Enter a password (default is pvadmin).
3 Go to the directory where the software files are located.
4 Press Enter (or Return).

If upgrading from release 2.0 to release 3.0, you will be required to add
new activation keys (license keys).
Managing the
Activation Keys
If you have purchased new applications, or need to increase the number
of users on your system, then you may need to upgrade your activation
keys (license keys). Each system has a unique system host ID that is used
in the generation of activation keys.
Before upgrading the activation keys, first ensure that the VCX Linux
operating system and the 3Com IP Conferencing Module software is
installed. Then do the following:
1 Using a browser, log in to the 3Com IP Conferencing Module as root.
2 Select Admin > System Config from the menu bar.
