Placing Audio-only Calls and Adding Audio-Only Sites (VSX 8000)

Depending on the configuration, you can use your VSX 8000 system to place an audio-only call, or you can add an audio-only call to a video conference. This lets you:

Use your system in the same way as a telephone.

Add audio-only participants to your video calls.

Add video calls to your audio-only calls.

Other audio options are available if your conference room has a VSX video conferencing system integrated with a VTX™ 1000 conference phone.

For more information about using the VTX 1000 conference phone, see

Using the VTX 1000 Conference Phone in Video Calls on page 32.
