Single-User CRCS/OpCenter and OpCenterSP Installation Installation Overview CRCS/OpCenter and OpCenterSP can be set up as a single-user system on a dedicated PC connected to up to 2 Lucent Technologies MultiPoint Conferencing Units (MCU). The CRCS/OpCenter PC can run either Microsoft® Windows NT 4.0 or Microsoft Windows 95. The connection between the CRCS/OpCenter or the OpCenterSP PC and the MCU can be local if the distance between the two is less than 5000 feet. The con- nection is cons

Upgrading from a Previous Release Upgrading from a Previous Release Each new release of the CRCS/OpCenter program and the MCU offers additional features. If any endpoint already included in your previous release supports some or all of the new enhancements, you may need to update the bandwidth, proto- cols, and feature entries in the Conference Template, Endpoint, Site, and MCU databases. Beginning with release 6.0, CRCS is backward compatible with the previous release MCU. The two MCUs con

CRCS/OpCenter and OpCenterSP Checklist Pre-Installation Requirements As a single-user dedicated system on a PC connected to one or two Lucent Tech- nologies MultiPoint Conferencing Units (MCU), CRCS/OpCenter or OpCenterSP can be set up as either local or remote. For a local connection, the distance between the PC and MCU must be less than 5000 feet. Distances beyond 5000 feet are considered remote. Also, if the PC is not connected to the TN754B or TN2223 on the MCU side, the connection is r

Pre-Installation Requirements Remote Configurations For remote configurations where the MCU and CRCS/OpCenter or OpCenter SP are not collocated, modem pooling is used (see "Appendix A: Modem Pooling" on page 44). The modems must support a minimum of 9600 baud. Additional serial ports may be required which must support non-shared interrupts. Login and Passwords Be sure you know the following information: n Login, password, dialed number and COM port for each MCU n CRCS or OpCenterSP Serial Nu

Local Connection to MCU Connecting the PC to the MCU This procedure establishes the connection between the CRCS/OpCenter PC and the data module or modem. For information about connecting the data module or modem to the MCU, see the MCU Installation and Test manual. To connect the PC using the standard serial ports to the modem or data module, follow these steps: Local Connection to MCU The following hardware is required for a local MCU connection: n 8400B data module (supplied) NOTE: 7400B d

Connecting the PC to the MCU Remote Connection to MCU When the PC is located remotely from the MCU, the MCU’s modem pooling capa- bility is ideal for connecting the data link needed to support CRCS/OpCenter. With modem pooling, Hayes-compatible analog modems are used at the PC to connect over the PTSN to the MCU. The MCU implements an external 7400A data module combined with a 3800 modem running 9600 bps to provide conversion resources needed to route the analog voice calls from the CRCS to
