Which three of these are valid ways to initially configure a C-Series codec in a network where DHCP is not used? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is A. Tandberg Remote Control V C. CLI using a console cable D. touchscreen interface. Without DHCP providing an IP address, initial C-Series codec configuration must use local or out-of-band access methods that do not depend on an existing network connection.

Why each option
Without DHCP providing an IP address, initial C-Series codec configuration must use local or out-of-band access methods that do not depend on an existing network connection.
The Tandberg Remote Control V can be used with the codec's on-screen interface to manually enter network settings without requiring any prior network connectivity.
Secure copy (SCP) is a network-based file transfer protocol that requires an existing IP network connection, which is unavailable before the codec is initially configured.
A console cable (serial RS-232) provides direct CLI access to the codec independent of network configuration, allowing initial IP settings to be applied.
The integrated touchscreen interface on C-Series codecs allows direct local configuration of network parameters without requiring network access.
The secure web browser (HTTPS) management interface requires the codec to already have a valid IP address reachable over the network, making it unusable for initial setup without DHCP.
Telnet requires network connectivity to reach the device and is also typically disabled by default on C-Series codecs for security reasons.
