Using the ViewStation

You can place multi-point calls manually by adding sites to the video call. You can also create multi-point address book entries, which contain several single address book entries combined together. With a multi-point address book entry, you can call all of the parties defined in the entry at once, rather than manually calling each individual site.

Occasionally a multi-point password is required for a multi-point video call that uses a third-party MCU. To use a password, you must configure the ViewStation to send the password to the MCU.

To manually place a multi-point video call:

1.Place a video call using one of the four ways listed in “Placing a Video Call” on page 99.

2.When the video call has connected, press the CALL•HANG-UP button on the remote control. The Call Hangup Choices screen is displayed.

3.Select the Add a Video Call icon and press the SELECT button on the remote control. The Video Phone screen is displayed.

4.On the Video Phone screen, enter the number of the next party you want to call. Press the CALL•HANG-UP button on the remote control. The second video call is dialed.

5.Repeat steps 2 through 4 until all of the parties are connected.

To place a multi-point video call using a multi-point address book entry:

1.From the Main Calling screen, select the Address Book icon and press the SELECT button on the remote control. The Speed Dial screen is displayed.

2.From the Speed Dial screen, select the Address Book icon and press the SELECT button on the remote. The Address Book screen is displayed.
