Please verify the following items are included with your shipment; camera with
mounting bracket, camera power supply, wireless keyboard, PC power supply,
DVD player power supply, panel IR remote, and software (including Windows XP
Pro).
1. Camera mounting
B. Using a Philips screwdriver remove
the large silver screw from the bottom of
the camera and use it to mount the
camera mounting plate to the camera. Be
careful not to over tighten the screw.
Note: The L-shaped part of the mounting
plate (containing two small holes) should
face toward the back of the camera.
A. Remove camera and
camera mounting plate from the
camera box (located in the
accessories box).
+
C. Use two screws to mount camera
bracket and camera to the mounting plate
holding the PC. Be careful not to over
tighten the screws.
Align the camera bracket with the front
of the monitor and stick it down with the
double sided tape.
+
D. Connect the two cables (top of the LCD monitor) to
the camera --Yellow to composite, black to RS-232.
Make sure the camera power supply is connected to
camera and AC outlet.
All camera cables must be connected before
powering on the computer.
2. Power and network
A. Connect an RJ45 cable from your Internet or
LAN (local area network) connection to the
bottom of the computer in either RJ45 port.
B. Connect the power supply
adapter-- a transformer (“brick”)
receptacle located on the bottom
left side of the computer. The
power supply adapter is found in
the accessory box.
C. Check all cables to ensure none came loose
during shipping.
2. Power and network
(continued)
D. On the back of the panel ensure the power cable is connected
E. Configure your External IP network using the Network Configuration Guide in Section 6.
F. The hardware set up is complete. You should not have to do this again unless the system is
moved to a new location.
3. Starting up the system
A. Power on the system using the power
button on the top of the computer and the
power button on the left side of the monitor
B. The system will start up like any other Windows
XP computer going through familiar screens.
C. This computer screen should be on the left side of
the monitor. If it isn’t go now to 3A “Arranging Proper
Displays” . Your monitor needs to be configured for
NORMAL Videoconferencing mode.
D. Double click on the red “V ball”
(“Start VTEL VCS” shortcut)
in the upper left corner. This launches the
videoconferencing software.
E. After a brief loading process, a large
VTEL “V ball” appears on the lower right
of the screen. This says that the videoconferencing software is loaded.
Note: if you do not see the
usual Windows XP screen on
the left side during start up go
to section 3A to configure
monitor and then return to this
section.
3A. Startup -- Arranging Proper Displays
When you turn on the flat panel and the PC you may find a display other than
The NORMAL videoconferencing mode of PC on the left (HDMI 1) and Videoconferencing (VGA) on the
right.
The flat panel will start up in the same mode that it was when it was turned off.
So, if someone was watching TV and then turned off the system, the panel will
return (start up) in TV mode.
The following steps will get you to the NORMAL videoconferencing mode regardless
of the configuration of the panel during startup.
Steps:
A. Toggle the
button until you see two equal side-by-side displays
The goal is to get HDMI on the left and RGB on the right.
B. Press the
C. Press
button until HDMI appears on the left.
until RGB appears on the right.
Now you are in NORMAL Videoconferencing mode.
Return to step 3.

Note: VCS 6.0 only detects the user’s IP address when it
launches. If you change your IP while VCS 6.0 is running
it will not know about it and your calls won’t work. To
remedy this problem, just Exit VCS (by selecting Exit

Note: The time it takes to transfer a slide is
dependent upon the bandwidth of the connection
between IPanel systems.
Note: If you are sending PC slides to the far site
and they start “Send PC” at their end, it will cancel
your Send PC and you will start receiving their PC
data.
Tip: Bring your flash drives to the meeting (videoconference or
local). Load your PC files into the IPanel. There is a convenient
USB port on the upper right-hand side of the IPanel computer.
System modes -- videoconferencing
The IPanel has three main videoconferencing modes of operation.
You can toggle from one mode to another using the keyboard function

6. IPanel Network Setup for Public Internet
• The IPanel is designed to videoconference over the public Internet. The initial setup may involve
your local IT (computer network) support person to configure your IP network parameters-especially your network firewall and some internal IPanel settings.
• This will only have to be done once at initial system installation. Thereafter, the user will
simply call other videoconferencing systems using the IPanel address book.
• This decision tree flow chart covers all of the common network configuration conditions. Go to the
next page for the detailed step-by-step actions required (items A, B, and C)

6. IPanel Network Setup for Public Internet
A

By default, your IPanel is setup to use automatic IP detection (DHCP)
on both of its Ethernet ports. If your internal network is configured to
use DHCP (which is the most common case) then simply plug in a
network cable into either port on the IPanel.
• Once you have this information, open up the network properties page
on the IPanel by going to START->CONTROL PANEL->NETWORK
CONNECTIONS on Windows XP
• RIGHT CLICK on "Local Area Connection" or "Local Area Connection
2" and select PROPERTIES (see note below) One connection will
say connected, one will say network cable unplugged. Use the
connected network choice.
• In the properties page LEFT CLICK on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" to
highlight it and then press the PROPERTIES button.
• Toggle both selections from "Obtain...Automatically" to "USE THE
FOLLOWING…” and then enter the five pieces of information you
gathered earlier into the appropriate boxes. Once you've entered this
information press OK to close the dialog.
• Verify network connectivity by selecting Internet Explorer on the
IPanel and connecting to a public web site (it is the same process as
any other computer).
• Note: there are 2 Ethernet adapters on the back of the IPanel. You
can use either one, but if you are setting up a static IP address on your
IPanel make sure you setup the same network properties for the same
port you plug your cable into. (Facing the back of the iPanel adapter 1
is on the left ("Local Area Connection") and adapter 2 ("Local Area
Connection 2") is on the right. It's perfectly ok to set-up both adapters
with the same information.)
Load VTEL's System Configuration. Under the Network tab, check the
"Enable NAT" box and enter your public/external IP address in the box (you
may have to ask your ISP/Network Administrator for this address). Press
"OK" to close System Configuration and apply the settings.
