Using the Address Book

Similar to a hardcopy address book or a software product’s address book, the ViewStation provides an address book to store access names and numbers. With entries stored in the address book, a video call may be placed by name, instead of remembering or looking up a number and then manually dialing it. The ViewStation address book may hold up to 1000 entries. If your organization uses Polycom's Global Management System™ (GMS) software, you can configure the address book to automatically show all of the addresses that your organization uses.

This section includes:
