Avaya XT Series - Connecting Avaya Room System XT Series to the Network

Ensure the infra-red sensors do not face sunlight or inverter fluorescent lamps.
Place the XT Codec Unit anywhere within a five meters reach of the camera cables.
Leave enough space around the XT Codec Unit for air circulation and for connecting cables
easily.
• Configuring the monitors
Configure the monitors while the cameras are in self-view mode to ensure the correct levels
of contrast, brightness and sharpness.
If the monitor has visual preset modes, choose Cinema or Movie as the best choice for
videoconferencing. For more information, see
Checking Monitor Image on page 269.
If using the monitor's speakers, enable the monitor's noise reduction setting if available. See
the monitor's documentation for details.

About this task
Your Avaya Room System XT Series comes with two network ports (dual-NIC), where each is a
gigabit LAN port (GLAN), operating at speeds of 10 or 100 or 1000 megabits per second (Mbps).
Connect the network cable to the GLAN1
port.
If required, you can enable GLAN2
with a license to use both network ports.
For example, a small business can use the XT Series as a firewall traversal system (see Planning
NAT and Firewall Traversal with Avaya Room System XT Series on page 34), where the XT
Series hosts a call on its built-in MCU, and endpoints from both the public and private networks
can access the same videoconference. Connect one network port to the public network and the
other to the private network.
Another example of dual-NIC usage is when a large organization routes video on a higher
performance network, while routing the API control of the XT Series on another network.
