If you use the VSX 3000 system as your computer monitor, Polycom recommends
that you set up the system so that calls must be answered manually. This ensures
that callers do not unexpectedly see or hear you at your desk.
When the system is set up for manual call answering, the system rings to indicate
an incoming call. To answer the call, switch to the video conferencing system and
answer manually. If you do not answer manually, the call will not connect.
