Additional Security Features

❑Control remote access — The local administrator can specify which remote management interfaces can be used — FTP, Telnet, SNMP, or the ViewStation web interface.

The local administrator may choose not to allow remote management.

❑Connect encryption equipment to the system — Add the optional Serial V.35/RS-449/RS-530 Network Interface Module to support V.35, RS-449, and RS-530 devices.

❑Use an optical dialing isolator — The Serial V.35/RS-449/RS-530 Network Interface Module supports NSA-approved optical dialing isolators.

Easy Calling

❑Multipoint calling — You can place IP, ISDN, and mixed calls that include up to three other sites at once using the internal multipoint capability. This is standard on ViewStation FX and VS4000, and optional on the ViewStation EX.

For information about purchasing the multipoint call option for ViewStation EX, please contact your Polycom distributor.

❑Cascaded multipoint calls — The sites that you call may also call other sites. By calling up to three other sites, and allowing each of them to add one or two more sites, you can connect up to ten sites in a call without using an external bridge.

❑Dial-in calling — Allow others to call your system (IP, ISDN, or analog telephone line) while it is in a call, for additional flexibility in multipoint calling.

Rich Conference Experience

❑See more with single-monitor systems — Use the continuous presence viewing mode to show all sites on a single monitor.

❑Additional monitors — Connect an additional television monitor to show the far site, and a VGA monitor or projector to show presentation material. The ViewStation FX and VS4000 allow you to connect up to three additional television monitors, for a total of four.

❑Additional camera — Add a document camera to show printed documents and other objects. The ViewStation FX and VS4000 also allow you to add an auxiliary pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) camera to provide a second view of your site.
