devices, such as ShowStation, WebStation, and StreamStation. You can also
configure the ViewStation system to work with Microsoft NetMeeting.
To configure a data conference:

2. Enter the IP address of the data conferencing device, or the IP address of the
PC on which NetMeeting is running.
For detailed instructions on setting up NetMeeting for calls, please refer to the Getting
Started Guide for ViewStation EX, FX, and VS4000.
