This booklet is divided into three sections: Ready..., Set..., and Go...
Here’s what you’ll find in each section:
Ready...
How to make sure the network is ready, where you can set up your system, and what you should find in
each of the boxes.
Set...
How to connect the cables, including monitor cables, camera and audio cables, and the PC audio
jumper cable; how to set up the microphone, receiver, remote control, keyboard, and ImageShare; how
to connect network cables (LAN, ISDN, V.35 or RS-449); how to attach the power cable; and recom-
mendations on how to set up your room.
Go...
How to insert the boot diskette and start up the system, and where you can find more information.
To install the system, follow this booklet page by page. In most cases, however, you’ll be able to skip some
pages. For example, if your system has a PictureTel 80 camera and a LAN network interface, you can skip the
pages that discuss the PictureTel 70 camera and the other network interfaces.
About This Guide
Ready . . .

Before you begin installing the PictureTel
®
970 or PictureTel 960 system, you should make sure that the network is
ready.
The document
Preparing Your Network for Collaboration
that you received with the system contains worksheets
that will help you get the network ready. For example, for ISDN networks, the worksheets list the ISDN BRI dialect,
the Network Number Type, and so on.
If you’ve already followed the steps in the
Preparing Your Network for Collaboration
document or the network
administrator has already taken care of the network preparation for you, then you can continue with the
installation.
Make Sure the Network Is Ready

Before you unpack all of the PictureTel 970 or PictureTel 960 components, decide where you want to set up the
system. You can set it up either on a tabletop or on a cart, and you can position the computer box either
horizontally or as a tower:
