If the number is less than 340 MB, you need to purchase a new hard-disk drive. To comply with warranty and functional requirements, you should purchase a replacement hard-disk drive from your MCS supplier.

[. . . ] When the next conference is run in this mode, the participants will see the lecturer normally, but the lecturer will see a blank gray screen with no video participants. The MCU must be rebooted to allow one more CP Lecture Mode conference. 4. 10 Diagnostics When the site status is monitored for a site in a conference, the incorrect audio may be displayed if the CODEC being monitored is muted. Once the system is un-muted, the correct audio being transmitted/received will be displayed. 4. 11 Encryption In this release any disruption causing the Encryption devices to resync may require that device be reset and the connection re-established to restore service. 5 4. 12 Ethernet Four simultaneous Ethernet connections are supported for systems with a Pentium processor. All other non-Pentium systems only support two simultaneous Ethernet connections. The more users that are connected, the slower the system will respond. If your system does not have an RS-232 card, the maintenance modem must be connected to Comm 1 and all workstations must be connected through the Ethernet card. For workstation connections across a Router, see the instructions in section 5 of the Maintaining Your MCS guide. In the space for the Router Address, enter the address of the router the MCS is on. Once this is done for the first workstation, all other workstations can access the MCS without entering anything else. 4. 13 H. 243 Chair Control Sites that do not support H. 243 Chair Control will not always be seen in the conference list. 4. 14 Miscellaneous The Montage 570 System must have a Pentium processor for version 6. 0 or higher. Audio sites that disconnect from the MCS will indicate that they are still active for several minutes. When new Authorizations are set up for different users, Conference and Schedule screens they set up are not permanently stored. Occasionally, when using a Venue system, you will get an error message on the Venue stating: Far end does not support video If this happens, you need to hang up the call and redial the Venue. LiveLan 3. 0 and lower is not supported with Version 6. x of Montage / Prism. Concorde's operating at 768 kbps must have a VCP board (slot 4) at Rev 3 to receive audio and video. To determine if the VCP is at the proper level, reboot the system and observe the startup tests. If the VCP is displayed <vCP> then it is at the proper revision. If it is displayed <VCP> then you will not be able to run at 768 kbps with the Montage/Prism. 4. 15 Network Clock Repeaters A Network Clock Repeater may be installed in new Montage chassis.
