Using the Touch Panel

2Touch the audio Speed Dial button that corresponds to the telephone number you want to call. For example, if you often call the CEO’s cell phone, you might see an audio Speed Dial button called “CEO Cell”. You can simply touch that button to place a call to that number.

If you touch the Help Desk button when an audio call is connected, the system must hang up the audio call in order to place the help call. A message informs you of this before hanging up the audio call. For more information about placing help calls, refer to Getting Help on page 2-31.

Hanging Up Calls

If you are on a video call and an audio call concurrently, you must hang up the calls separately. This section describes how to hang up both types of calls.

1If the Hang Up button is not visible on your screen, touch

Polycom.

2 Touch the Hang Up button on the left side of the screen (as shown in Figure 2-4on page 2-5).

The message “The call has ended” appears on the screen.

Hanging Up Audio Calls

1If the Hang Up button is not visible on your screen, touch

Polycom.

2 Touch the Hang Up button on the right (Audio-Only) side of the screen (as shown in Figure 2-4on page 2-5).

Making Calls Using Meeting Composer

Meeting Composer enables you to easily place calls to multiple sites or to Immersive Telepresence sites (which have more than one codec). You can select the sites you want to call by using manual dial, speed dial, the Local or Global address book, or by searching.

Even if you want to call a traditional (standalone) video conferencing system or an audio-only site, you can use Meeting Composer to manually dial that site or to find that site in the address book.
