We recommend that you use the accessories provided or approved by Yealink. The use of unapproved third-party accessories
may result in reduced performance.
The VC500 endpoint should be used with Yealink original power adapter (48V/0.7A) only. The use of the third-party power
adapter may cause the damage to the endpoint. The cable and wire should be replaced at once if its skin is broken.

Network Deployment
VC500 supports two network deployment methods: Cloud deployment and traditional deployment. You can choose the deployment method
according to your need.
Cloud Deployment
Select More->Setting->Advanced (Default Admin Password:0000)->Video Conference Platform.
In the Cloud Account field, check the Enabled checkbox.
Select the desired platform from the pull-down list of Platform Type.
.
.
.
With Cloud service, organizations can communicate using the Cloud platform, so that complex network settings are unnecessary. You
can log into Yealink VC Cloud Management Service/Yealink Meeting Server/StarLeaf/Zoom/Pexip/BlueJeans/Mind platform using VC500
video conferencing endpoint. Get account information from your administrator.
Do the following to log into your VC500 via remote control:
Configure the desired platform and log in.
.
Traditional Deployment
If you do not log into the Cloud platform, you can choose traditional deployment method to deploy your VC500, and dial the IP address
of other device to make a call.
In order to ensure that the VC500 can work properly, please configure it according to the actual situation.
If it is in the head office, please make sure that it is reachable from public network. If it is in the branch office, please use intelligent
traversal to deploy it or just follow the same steps as for the head office.

Head Office
If you deploy VC500 in the head office, at least one static public IP address is required in the head office to allow branch offices to
connect.
Option2: To deploy the VC500 in an Intranet (behind the firewall), you must assign a static private IP address to the VC500. In the
meantime, do port mapping on the firewall for VC500.
Option1: To deploy the VC500 on a public network, at least one static public IP address is required, you need to assign a static public IP
address to the VC500.
Configure a Static IP
It is recommended that you forward the web management port(443/TCP) to the public network, so that the head office can remotely
manage the branch office.

Bandwidth Requirements
To ensure the performance of video conference, the recommended bandwidth for VC500 is as below:
For more information of the configurations, contact your system administrator.
The bandwidth mentioned above is based on two-way conference. Bandwidth in head office should be increased along with the
growing number of connected branch offices .
Troubleshooting
After installation and deployment, you can test the VC500 by dialing the Yealink Demo Room. If you can’t dial out successfully, please
contact your IT administrator to check the internal network configuration.
If you do not use Cloud platform and deploy your VC500 in an Intranet, you have configured port mapping on the firewall or gateway,
but you find that local endpoint appears black screen and you cannot hear sound when you call Yealink Demo or other endpoints. The
most likely reason is that the firewall or gateway in your environment does not support the H.323 ALG feature. In this situation, please
take the following actions so that the NAT feature on the VC500 can solve this problem.
Select More->Setting->Advanced (Default Admin Password:0000)->NAT/Firewall.
Select Auto from the pull-down list of Type, the endpoint will obtain public IP address automatically.
To configure NAT via the remote control:
.
.
Yealink Test Room IP: 117.28.251.50, 117.28.251.51
If the endpoint does not obtain a public IP address automatically, select Manual Settings from the pull-down list of Type, and then
enter the public IP address in the Public IP Address field.
