Frequently Asked Questions - UMI LINKSYS

How to configure the LINKSYS UMI router?
Plug in the power adapter and connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. Open a browser and go to the default IP address (often 192.168.1.1). Follow the setup wizard to set your network name (SSID) and password.
How to reset the router to factory settings?
Use a paperclip to press and hold the Reset button on the back of the device for about 10 seconds until the lights flash. Factory settings will be restored.
What to do if I forgot the admin password?
Reset the router as described above. This will erase all settings, including the password. You can then use the default password (often 'admin' or left blank) to log in.
How to improve the Wi-Fi range of the router?
Place the router in a central, elevated location away from metal obstacles. Avoid interference from other electronic devices. You can also change the Wi-Fi channel in the settings to reduce interference.
How to update the router firmware?
Log into the admin interface, go to the 'Administration' or 'Firmware Update' section. Download the latest version from the LINKSYS website and select the file. Do not turn off the power during the update.
What are the router LEDs and their meaning?
The Power LED lights up green when the device is powered on. The Internet and LAN LEDs indicate connectivity. The Wi-Fi LED flashes when there is network traffic.
Can I connect a USB hard drive to the router?
The UMI model does not have a USB port. For shared storage, use another router with NAS functionality or connect the drive to a computer on the network.
How to secure my Wi-Fi network?
Enable WPA2-PSK encryption with a strong password (at least 8 characters, mix of letters, numbers, and symbols). Disable WPS and SSID broadcast if necessary.
Does the router heat up normally?
Slight heating is normal. Ensure the ventilation openings are not blocked. If the device becomes very hot, turn it off and check the environment.

Tune the room

The arrangement of your TV room, including the way you position the umi console and camera, can help enhance your experience using umi. Before you begin connecting cables, follow these tips to ensure excellent video and audio quality.

Video

A larger TV promotes the "life-size" experience of connecting to friends and family with umi.
- As a general rule of thumb, if your TV is centered across from your sofa, this encourages good eye contact when you are talking to someone.
- For best picture quality, try to keep the lighting level in the room consistent. Soft lighting produces a better picture than halogens.
Windows facing the camera or behind the sofa can cause TV glare and reflection, and may need to be blocked with drapes or blinds.
- Ideally, do not place any lights or lamps where they are in direct view of the camera. The camera will dim to compensate for the bright light, so you may appear dark to the people on the other end of the umi call.

Audio

  • When you're using umi, the quieter the room, the better the sound quality.
  • Because the microphone can pick up sound in all directions, you can speak in a normal conversation tone—just as if you were in the same room as the people you are talking to.

Check box contents

Before connecting umi cables and components, check the box. It should contain all of the following. If anything is missing, please contact Cisco customer service at (877) 425-4864.

Mount the camera

Follow these instructions to mount your camera on top of your TV.

If your TV is too thick to securely support mounting the camera on top, or if you need a different camera placement (such as wall mounting) for any other reason, see Alternate ways to mount the camera.

  1. Align the camera rails with the camera bracket and carefully slide the bracket onto the camera, as follows:

  2. For thinner TVs (up to 2.75 inches thick), slide the bracket so the CISCO logo faces in, towards the back of the TV.

  3. For thicker TVs (2.75 inches thick or greater), slide the bracket so the CISCO logo faces out, away from the back of the TV.

  1. To ensure the camera is placed correctly, check the following:

The camera sits flat against the top of the TV.
- The front lip of the camera overlaps and hangs flush against the front of the TV.
- The camera bracket extends down the back of the TV parallel to the TV screen. The bracket should not hang tilted either toward or away from the TV.

LINKSYS UMI - Mount the camera - 8

LINKSYS UMI - Mount the camera - 9

FOR USERS WHOSE TV HANGS ON A WALL MOUNT: Your TV wall mount is rated for a maximum number of pounds/kilograms. If you are planning to mount the umi camera on top of your TV, make sure that the combined weight of the camera and the TV does not exceed the maximum rating for the wall mount. If you are not sure of your TV wall mount's rating, contact the manufacturer. Note that the umi camera weighs 2.27 lbs./1.03 kg.

Connect the camera to the umi console

  1. Insert the HDMI cable from the camera into the red HDMI port labeled Camera In on the back of the umi console.
  2. Insert the USB cable from the camera into the red USB port labeled Camera In on the back of the umi console.
  3. Place the umi console in a well-ventilated location. We recommend leaving a space of at least 1.5 inches (38mm) between the console and other components of your home entertainment system.

LINKSYS UMI - Connect the camera to the umi console - 1

Connect the umi console to your TV

  1. Insert either end of the blue HDMI cable into any available HDMI port on your TV.

  2. Insert the other end of the cable into the blue HDMI Out port on the back of the umi console.

LINKSYS UMI - Connect the umi console to your TV - 1

With this basic setup, when you want to use umi, you'll use your TV remote to switch to the HDMI input for the umi console (for example, HDMI2).

To watch TV, you switch the source back to the HDMI input for your TV service (for example, HDMI1).

Alternatively, you can use umi and watch TV at the same time, without needing to switch TV input sources. If you want to do this, follow these connection steps instead:

LINKSYS UMI - Connect the umi console to your TV - 2

This connection method is sometimes called "pass-through mode."

  1. On your TV, disconnect the HDMI cable that connects your set top box to your TV. If you have more than one HDMI cable connected to your TV, make sure to disconnect the one from your set top box.
  2. Insert the cable you just disconnected into the gray HDMI In port on the back of the umi console. The umi console should now be connected to your set top box.
  3. Insert either end of the blue HDMI cable into any available HDMI port on your TV.
  4. Insert the other end of the cable into the blue HDMI Out port on the back of the umi console.

LINKSYS UMI - Connect the umi console to your TV - 3

If you have a different setup for your TV and other home entertainment system components, see Alternate ways to connect the console to your TV service.

Connect to the Internet: Ethernet cable

There are two ways to connect umi to the Internet: over a wireless network, or using an Ethernet cable. If you'd prefer to connect to the Internet wirelessly, skip to Connect to an outlet. You will connect to your wireless network during TV setup.

You need a cable long enough to reach from your TV to your router or Internet connection jack. You may need to purchase a cable longer than the one that came in the umi box.

  1. Insert the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the umi console.
  2. Insert the other end of the cable into any available port on your router or Internet connection jack.

LINKSYS UMI - Connect to the Internet: Ethernet cable - 1

  3. Press or on the remote to call the contact.

Dial a umi number

For umi members who are not on your contacts list, dial their umi number directly to call them.

  1. On the clover, select
  2. Select dial by number.
  3. Use the onscreen keypad to enter the number (see Use the onscreen keypad).
  4. Select call or press on the remote.

Dial a Google video chat contact

To keep in touch with your wider circle, even those who are not umi members, you can call people who are in your Google video chat contacts. The other caller communicates with you using a webcam.

To use umi to make calls with a Google video chat contact, note the following:.

  • You must have your own Google video chat account. You will need to enter your Google video chat ID and password either on your TV or on the umi Connect website (see Edit your Google video chat account information). When you enter your Google video chat ID, you must enter a full email address, including everything following the @ symbol.
  • You must then enter or import any Google video chat contacts you want to call into your umi contacts list (see Add a contact or Import Google video chat contacts).

After you enter or import a Google video chat contact, the simplest way to call that contact is to follow the steps in Make a umi call to a contact. Simply select the Google video chat contact you want to call. If the contact entry contains both a umi number and a Google video chat ID, when you select the contact, you are asked to select which method you want to use to call the contact.

You cannot make umi calls between your home umi system and the Google video chat ID you enter here. So, for example, if you are traveling and want to call your home umi number using Google video chat, you cannot do so using the ID you enter here. Instead, you can create a second Google video chat account, enter the ID for that account as a contact in your first Google video chat account, and then add your ID from the first account as a contact in the second account. This enables you to use the second account to call your home umi.

Alternately, you can call a Google video chat contact by dialing his or her Google video chat ID directly. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. On the clover, select
  2. Press or on the remote to highlight the contact you want.
  3. Press on the remote to select the contact.
  4. Select video chat ID.

Alternate ways to mount the camera

If your TV size, shape, or placement does not allow you to mount the camera on top of the TV (see Mount the camera), you can place the camera on a table, or mount it on a wall.

Place the camera on a table

You can simply place the camera on any table or flat surface near your TV, as long as it is close enough to connect the camera, console, and TV cables.

LINKSYS UMI - Place the camera on a table - 1

If you use your TV's speakers and the speakers are on the front of the TV, you need to place the camera far enough from the TV so that the speaker audio does not interfere with the camera microphone. Otherwise, you will not be able to hear umi calls correctly.

After placing the camera, continue setup with Connect the camera to the umi console.

Mount the camera on a wall

If you can't place the camera on top of your TV-for example, your TV hangs on a wall-you can mount the camera on a wall above, next to, or below the TV.

Alternate ways to connect the console to your TV service

Depending on your home entertainment system setup, you have several options for connecting to your TV. If the standard setup does not work with your system (see Connect the console to your TV), choose the option below that best fits your situation.

I want to use umi with my AV receiver, and I want to hear the sound through external speakers

LINKSYS UMI - Alternate ways to connect the console to your TV service - 1

This setup method works if you want to watch TV and use umi at the same time, without switching HDMI inputs.

Starting with your TV service set top box, be sure to connect the umi console, receiver, and TV in this order:

set top box umi console receiver TV

Note the following:

  • Make sure your receiver is connected directly to your TV. If you connect your receiver to the console and then the console to the TV, you will not be able to hear umi call audio through your speakers.
  • Make sure your TV speakers are off. On your receiver, select your set top box as the input. This ensures that you can see umi call video on your TV, and hear the audio through your external speakers.
    If you have other devices such as a Blu-ray player or game controller, connect them to your receiver as you would normally.

I want to use umi with my AV receiver and hear the sound through external speakers, but there’s no available HDMI input on the receiver

LINKSYS UMI - Alternate ways to connect the console to your TV service - 3

This setup method works if you want to watch TV and use umi at the same time, without switching HDMI inputs. For setups where you switch HDMI inputs to watch TV or use umi, follow the diagram shown below, but connect your set top box directly to your TV—not to the umi console.

Starting with your TV service set top box, be sure to connect the umi console, receiver, and TV in this order:

set top box umi console receiver (for audio)

TV (for video)

Note the following:

  • Connect the umi console to your TV directly using the HDMI cable. Insert the cable into the HDMI Out port on your console, and into any available HDMI port on your TV.
  • Connect the umi console to your receiver using an optical cable (sold separately). Insert the cable into the Audio Out port on your console, and into the optical port on your receiver.
  • To view umi call video, you need to switch your TV to the HDMI source connected to your console.
    To correctly hear umi call audio, you need to switch the audio source on your receiver to your console. Make sure your TV speakers are off.
    If you have other devices such as a Blu-ray player or game controller, connect them to your receiver as you would normally.

Tips for using umi with Google video chat

If you want to use umi to make calls to and receive calls from Google video chat contacts, keep the following tips in mind:

  • You need to follow certain steps before you can make umi calls with Google video chat contacts (see Dial a Google video chat contact).
    If you change your Google video chat account or update your account settings, you need to enter the new account information in umi (see Edit your Google video chat account information).
  • If you want to call your home umi number from Google video chat (for example, when you are traveling), you need to set up a second Google video chat account (see I am traveling out of town and am trying to use my Google video chat account to call my home umi. Why can't I make the call?).
    To make a umi call to a Google video chat contact, the contact must be logged in to his or her Google video chat account.
    If a Google video chat contact is calling you and want to take the call using umi, you must be logged out of Google video chat on your computer. Then the umi camera will ring when the call comes in.
  • Likewise, if you want to take a Google video chat call on your computer, you must be logged into your Google video chat account.
  • To add a new Google video chat contact to umi, you must first add the contact in Google on your computer, and then import the contact into your umi contacts (see Import Google video chat contacts).
    If you delete a Google video chat contact from umi, this does not delete the entry from your Google video chat contacts (see Delete a contact in the Contacts chapter or Delete a contact in the umi Connect website chapter).
  • If you block a Google video chat contact with umi, this blocks all communication with this contact through umi only. It does not block communication with the contact through Google video chat on the web (see Block a contact).

Cable connections

The HDMI ports on our TV are all being used. Can we use an HDMI splitter to connect the console to the TV?

Instead of using a splitter, we recommend the following:

  1. Find the HDMI cable that goes from your TV service (set top box or other TV service component) into your TV.
  2. Disconnect that cable from your TV.
  3. Insert that cable into the HDMI In port on the back of the ümi console.
  4. Take the blue HDMI cable that came in the umi box and insert one end of the cable into the HDMI Out port on the back of the umi console.
  5. Insert the other end of the blue HDMI cable into the free HDMI port on your TV.

You can now use umi and watch TV at the same time.

The Ethernet cable isn't long enough to reach my router. What should I do?

You can purchase a longer Ethernet cable at an office supply or electronics store.

Call quality (audio/video)

I am hearing high-pitched feedback when I'm on a umi call. What should I do?

Try the following steps in sequence. You can stop when the problem is resolved.:

  • Re-check the speaker and microphone settings (see Recheck speaker, microphone, and camera settings). Be sure your TV or external speakers are set at a comfortable listening level before running the check.
    Try reducing your TV or speaker volume. The feedback may happen on certain TV models when the volume level is set high.
  • If reducing the volume does not eliminate the feedback, try moving the umi camera further away from your TV speakers and repeating the audio and camera check from Settings (see Recheck speaker, microphone, and camera settings). For example, try placing the camera on a table or surface to the side or in front of the TV so that the microphone on the camera is further away from the TV speakers.
  • Finally, try connecting the console to a your home theater speakers through an AV receiver, using the optical audio port on the console (see I want to use umi with my AV receiver and hear the sound through external speakers, but there's no available HDMI input on the receiver).

Why does the quality of my umi calls seem to vary among calls occasionally?

Call quality can vary depending on the available network bandwidth, on both your network and the network of the other person on the call. During a umi call, the umi system automatically adapts to network conditions to ensure the best call quality.

Care and maintenance

How do I clean the console and the camera?

Use standard alcohol wipes for electronics equipment to clean the exterior of both the console and the chemical. Avoid harsh solvents or chemicals. Do not try to open any umi system component.

Google video chat

I am trying to call my Google video chat friend, but the call doesn't go through. What do I do?

First, make sure you have followed the requirements you need to make umi calls with Google video chat contacts. See Dial a Google video chat contact for details.

Then, for you to make a umi call to a Google video chat contact, the contact must be logged in to his or her Google video chat account.

My Google video chat friend is calling me, but umi doesn't ring. What do I do?

First, make sure you have followed the requirements you need to make umi calls with Google video chat contacts. See Dial a Google video chat contact for details.

Then, if a Google video chat contact is calling you and want to take the call using umi, you must be logged out of Google video chat on your computer. Then the umi camera will ring when the call comes in.

I am traveling out of town and am trying to use my Google video chat account to call my home umi. Why can't I make the call?

You cannot make umi calls between your home umi system and the Google video chat ID you enter for your umi account. So, for example, if you are traveling and want to call your home umi number using Google video chat on your computer, you cannot call the Google video chat ID you used to log in to Google video chat on your computer. Instead, you can create a second Google video chat account (such as umihome@gmail.com) that is different from the account you use on your computer (such as myname@gmail.com).

Then, log in to the first account (mname@gmail.com) on your computer, and add the second account (umihome@gmail.com) as a contact.

Finally, on your TV or on the umi Connect website, create a new contact, and enter the first account (mname@gmail.com) as the Google ID for that contact. When prompted to log in to Google, use the login information for the second account (umihome@gmail.com).

Note that the restriction on calling your home umi number from the Google video chat ID associated with your umi account is based on the Google video chat service.

My videos

Why am I unable to record a new video?

Your limit for recorded videos is 100 minutes. If you are at that limit, you need to delete one or more existing videos before you can record a new one (see Delete a video in the My videos chapter or Delete a video in the umi Connect website chapter).

Router connections

I connected umi to my new router using an Ethernet cable, but I can't connect to the Internet. What should I do?

Disconnect the umi console from the router, and see if you can access the Internet using the router. If so, connect the umi console to the router and try accessing the Internet again. If you cannot access the Internet using the router, please contact the router manufacturer for support—the Cisco umi team does not provide support for router issues.

I connected umi to an enterprise router from my company, but my umi calls have poor video quality. What should I do?

You cannot connect the umi console to the Internet directly through an enterprise router. Instead, you should use a standard router, and connect both the umi console and the enterprise router as shown in the following diagram:
