Getting Started

The Remote Control

The remote control that came with your ViewStation is an integral part of the unit. It works the same way as the remote for your television at home. You’ll be using it to highlight and select icons that appear on the monitor, configure your address book, move your camera, adjust the volume, place video calls, etc.

The Microphone Pod

The microphone pod provides omnidirectional digital audio input to the ViewStation and provides automatic gain control, noise suppression, echo cancellation, and a mute button. The practical range of the microphone pod is approximately a 25 foot (8 meter) radius.

What You Need to Get Started

To make your ViewStation fully operable, you’ll need an ISDN line from your service provider, a television monitor and a power source.

ISDN

The ViewStation uses an ISDN line to transmit and receive your video calls. The ViewStation 128 supports a single ISDN line for up to 128kbps videoconferencing. The ViewStation 512/MP supports a maximum of four ISDN lines for up to 512kbps videoconferencing.
