Abstract
A videoconferencing system includes an embedded web server and a network interface for connecting the videoconferencing systems to a network. Computers and other devices on the network may manage and control various operations of the videoconferencing system through a conventional browser interface by accessing web pages transmitted by the embedded web server. In addition, users of network-connected computers may upload presentation files to the videoconferencing system to enable transmission of presentation slides to remote conference endpoints. The videoconferencing system may also be provided with an integrated network hub to allow connection of the videoconferencing system to one or more local computers.
