OVERVIEW
- In order to get the Ethernet connected Real-Port Coordinator to communicate with the VersaVision software, you will need to install the driver.
- Prior to receiving the Coordinator, you will need to have either provided VersaCall with the Static IP information or have your IT team setup a DHCP Reserved IP Address.
- When using a Static IP Address, the Coordinator will be pre-programmed before shipping from VersaCall.
- When using a DHCP Reserved IP Address, VersaCall Technician will provide you with the MAC Address prior to shipment.
- The guide below will explain uploading the files via an SSH Client, feel free to use a different SSH Client or upload the files using the Terminal if you have physical access.
REQUIREMENTS
- Computer/Server/VM must be loaded with Red Hat 8 or 9.
- IT must assign an Administrator level user name and password for VersaCall Installation/User.
- Internet Access Required for the Installation process. Access can be removed after installation.
- SSH Client is required if the User/Installer does not have physical access to the server.
- Server/Computer/VM must have a Static IP Address or a DHCP Reserved IP Address.
- Coordinator must have a Static IP Address or a DHCP Reserved IP Address.
- Link for Driver file provided by VersaCall Technician.
