You see the number of bytes of disk space youhave available. If the number is less than 340 MB, you need to purchase a new hard-disk drive. [. . . ] 4. 11 Encryption In this release any disruption causing the Encryption devices to resync may require that device be reset and the connection re-established to restore service. 5 4. 12 Ethernet Four simultaneous Ethernet connections are supported for systems with a Pentium processor. All other non-Pentium systems only support two simultaneous Ethernet connections. The more users that are connected, the slower the system will respond. If an Ethernet card is used in the Prism, Comm 2 must be disabled. If your system does not have an RS-232 card, the maintenance modem must be connected to Comm 1 and all workstations must be connected through the Ethernet card. For workstation connections across a Router, see the instructions in section 5 of the Maintaining Your MCS guide. In step 3, enter "d" (default) for the Route type. In the space for the Router Address, enter the address of the router the MCS is on. Enter a workstation IP address in the destination address. Once this is done for the first workstation, all other workstations can access the MCS without entering anything else. 4. 13 H. 243 Chair Control Sites that do not support H. 243 Chair Control will not always be seen in the conference list. 4. 14 Miscellaneous The Montage 570 System must have a Pentium processor for version 6. 0 or higher. Audio sites that disconnect from the MCS will indicate that they are still active for several minutes. When new Authorizations are set up for different users, Conference and Schedule screens they set up are not permanently stored. Occasionally, when using a Venue system, you will get an error message on the Venue stating: Far end does not support video If this happens, you need to hang up the call and redial the Venue. LiveScheduler is not supported with Version 6. 1 of Montage / Prism. LiveLan 3. 0 and lower is not supported with Version 6. x of Montage / Prism. Concorde's operating at 768 kbps must have a VCP board (slot 4) at Rev 3 to receive audio and video. To determine if the VCP is at the proper level, reboot the system and observe the startup tests. If the VCP is displayed <vCP> then it is at the proper revision. If it is displayed <VCP> then you will not be able to run at 768 kbps with the Montage/Prism. 4. 15 Network Clock Repeaters A Network Clock Repeater may be installed in new Montage chassis. [. . . ] Options previously loaded on a system will be brought forward if the database is upgraded along with the system. For upgrades that do not include the old database and for all new options purchased, the options must be loaded. To load the options, insert one of the option disks in the system and in the Workplace shell, type the following commands: a: install After the first option is loaded, you will be prompted to insert the next option disk or reboot the system. Continue following the prompts by inserting each new option disk until they are all installed. [. . . ]
