The default username is admin and the default password is password.
5. Click Login.
The VidyoRouter Configuration Page appears.
6. Click the Upload tab.
Note: You can determine your VidyoRouter type by the Version label (Ver:) displayed on the VidyoRouter Configuration Page Upload tab. If the version ends in (64-bit), as shown in the pre-vious illustration, then the VidyoRouter type is 64-bit. Otherwise, the VidyoRouter type is 32-bit as shown in the following illustration.
6. Click Upload & Upgrade.
7. Click OK to proceed with the upgrade.
Wait for the installation to complete.
8. After the VidyoRouter reboots, return to the Super Admin Portal and click the Components tab.
Caution: The VidyoRouter (and corresponding VidyoProxy) may both have a Status of DOWN or NEW, or they may show an Alarm (as shown in the following illustration). DO NOT attempt to reconfigure
Each will update or clear automatically once the VidyoPortal is upgraded.
9. Verify that the Software Version displayed is correct for the VidyoRouter that you upgraded.
10. Repeat the steps in this section for each additional VidyoRouter for your VidyoConferencing system.
VidyoRouter Restart Tab
This tab enables you to restart or shut down to enter your username and password before you can do either.
Caution: Once the server shuts down you can power it back up only by physically pressing the power button on the front of the unit. Additionally, when the system is restarted or shut down, all calls in progress are ended.
You might want to email users ahead of time and perform the upgrade when system usage is lowest.
CONFIGURING THE VIDYOROUTER COMPONENT
To access the Component page for the VidyoRouter, you must double-click anywhere on the VidyoRouter line in the Components Table, except on its IP address.

Name Is the display name, or label, for the VidyoRouter.This is the minimum required to authorize a VidyoRouter. give your routers names that help you remember their locations, such as NYC VidyoRouter 1 and NYC VidyoRouter 2.
SCIP Listen Address The IP and port VidyoDesktop, VidyoRoom, and VidyoGateway clients useto communicate wit proprietary network protocol. This is the
listening address of the VidyoRouter. The address 0.0.0.0 means to bind to all Ethernet ports.
required for NAT traversal or enabling Security.
Refer to Firewall and NAT Deployments Appendix on page 170 and Security Appendix page 184 before editing the SCIP settings.

set-2. Select the NAT Firewall tab.
3. Enter the following information:
STUN Server Address If the system is NATed without a 1:1 port mapping, you must configure the VidyoRouter to use a STUN server residing on the WAN side for network traversal.A STUN server generally uses port 3478.
Note: The Media Address Map feature is the preferred configuration option. Choose only one option; enabling both options causes the system to malfunction.
Media Address Map If the system is NATed with a 1:1 port mapping, hence no port translation, you can define local <-> public address mappings.The remote IP address is the IP address that the system is NATed to from the side that users connect from.
Media Port Range Enables you to define a range of ports available in a firewall.Select or enter the Start and End port numbers or, if only one port is available, enter the same port number in each field.

CONFIGURING VIDYOROUTERS AND VIDYOPROXYS VIA THE CONFIG SERVER
The VidyoRouter transports video and audio streams between endpoints. It also intelligently identifies and adjusts to bandwidth and network constraints.
VidyoRouters need to be configured in order to register with the VidyoPortal Configuration Server. Each VidyoRouter comes bundled with a VidyoProxy component that you must also configure in order for it to reg-ister to the Config Server.
This section describes how to configure VidyoRouter and VidyoProxy Config Server addresses as well as how to configure these new components via the Config Server.
Configuring the VidyoRouter and VidyoProxy Config Server Addresses
Before you configure the VidyoRouter and VidyoProxy, you must configure their Config Server addresses.
To configure a VidyoRouter Config Server address:
1. Launch your browser and enter the address of your VidyoRouter:
http://<FQDN or IP>/vr2conf/
The VidyoRouter Configuration Page opens.
The Config Server field tells the VidyoRouter (and other components) where to register for its configuration information. The Config Server is the IP address or FQDN of your VidyoPortal.
3. Enter the VidyoPortal IP Address or FQDN.
4. Click Apply to register the VidyoRouter.
To configure a Standalone VidyoProxy Config Server address:
1. Launch your browser and enter the address of your Standalone VidyoProxy:
http://<FQDN or IP>/vp2conf/
2. Log in using the new password that you have set. Otherwise, log in using the default Admin user name and password:
User Name: admin
Password: password (case sensitive)
Note: Although the default username for this page is admin, only the Super Admin accesses these pages.
The VidyoProxy Configuration Page opens.
The Config Server field tells the VidyoProxy, and other components, where to register for their configuration information. For a Standalone VidyoProxy, the Config Server is the IP address or URL of the portal. (For the local embedded VidyoProxy, localhost is the default Config Server address.) 2. Enter the VidyoPortal IP address or FQDN.
3. Click Apply to register the VidyoProxy.
a VidyoRouter and VidyoProxy in a NATed environment and/or with SSL or encryption, each must use the portal FQDN as the Config Server address. For more information, refer to the
170 and Security 184. You can also refer to 77 for information about the other tabs on the VidyoRouter and VidyoProxy configuration pages.
Configuring a VidyoRouter via the Config Server
After you apply the Config Server settings, the is shown as NEW on the Super Admin Components table. You must now configure each new component to function within the system.
To configure a VidyoRouter:
1. Double-click the word NEW in the Status column of the VidyoRouter you wish to configure.
2. Type a name for the VidyoRouter in the Name field.
3. Keep your Listen Address (SCIP) as
0.0.0.0
environment and/or with security (SSL and/or encryption).
For more information, refer to the Appendix 170 and the
Security Appendix 184.
4. Click Save.
5. Confirm the changes in the Confirmation dialog box.
Configuring a Standalone VidyoProxy via the Config Server
To configure a Standalone VidyoProxy:1. Double-click the word NEW in the Status column of the VidyoProxy you wish to configure.
2. Type a name for the VidyoProxy in the Name field (for example, Standalone VP or SAVP1).
3. In the URL field, change localhostto your VidyoRouter server address or FQDN, and then enter a colon and the port you wish the VidyoProxy to use (such asvr1.yourcompany.com:443).
Note: Vidyo recommends using port 443 for the VidyoProxy to allow for typical access available for restricted clients.
4. Click Save.
5. Confirm the changes in the Confirmation dialog box.
