Answering a Video Call

There are two separate modes for answering video calls:

Manual

When the ViewStation receives an incoming call, a dialog box is displayed asking the user whether or not the call is to be answered. To answer the call, select YES. To refuse the call, select NO.

Auto-Answer

By default, the ViewStation automatically answers any incoming call. To change the answering mode, go to the General Setup screen (System Info > Admin Setup > General Setup). In the Auto Answer field, place a check mark to enable automatic answering. To use manual answering mode, the Auto Answer field must be unchecked.

Placing Multi-Point Calls (ViewStation MP Only)

You can place multi-point calls only if you have a ViewStation with

Multi-point capability enabled.

A multi-point call is a video call that involves more than two parties. With multi-point calling, up to four parties can participate in a video call at one time. All parties in the call must be connected at the same speed.
