Types of Calls You Can Make

Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to make calls using

ISDN, IP, or V.35.

The following table lists some possible call combinations.

From...	You can call...	By dialing...

ISDN	ISDN	Phone number.

	IP	Phone number of the far-site gateway
		and the extension (E.164 address) of the
		far site.
		Enter the extension after the gateway
		number or wait until the gateway
		prompts you for the extension.

LAN	Networked and Public	Alias, E.164 address, DNS name, or IP
	Sites	address.

	Protected and Private	Typically, the far site's gateway number
	Sites	then the number of the far-site system.
		Consult with the far site about the best
		method for placing the call.

	ISDN	Access code of the near-site gateway,
		the selected speed code, and the ISDN
		number of the far site.

When you call an IP system through a gateway that requires an extension (E.164 address), enter the extension in the dialing field whenever possible. Check with your network administrator for the extension delimiter you will need to enter into the dialing field. For example, some networks use ## to separate the extension from the IP address.

When you include the extension, you will be given the option of saving both the number and the extension in the directory when the call ends. If you enter the extension after the gateway connects, then you can save only the gateway number when the call ends.

Placing Audio-only Calls and Adding Audio-only Sites

You may be able to use your Polycom system to place an audio-only call or add an audio-only call to a video conference.

Other audio options are available if your conference room has a Polycom system integrated with a SoundStation VTX 1000® conference phone.

For more information about using the SoundStation VTX 1000 conference phone, see Using the SoundStation VTX 1000 Conference Phone in Video Calls on page 36.
