Placing Audio-only Calls and Adding Audio-Only Sites (VSX 8000)

Depending on the configuration, you can use your VSX 8000 system to place

an audio-only call, or you can add an audio-only call to a video conference.

This lets you:

 Use your system in the same way as a telephone.

 Add audio-only participants to your video calls.

 Add video calls to your audio-only calls.

Other audio options are available if your conference room has a VSX video conferencing

system integrated with a VTX™ 1000 conference phone.

For more information about using the VTX 1000 conference phone, see

Using the VTX 1000 Conference Phone in Video Calls on page 32.

Placing an Audio-Only Call

You can use your system to make audio-only calls in addition to using your

system to place video calls.

To place an audio-only call from your system:

1. On the Place a Call screen, enter the number you want to call.

 To place a call within your PBX system, enter the last four digits of the

number.

 To delete a digit, press Delete on the remote control.

2. Press Call to place the call.

Adding an Audio-Only Call to a Video Call

You can add an audio participant to an existing video call.

You can add an audio-only call to a video call only if your local telephone company has

enabled three-way calling on your line.

To add an audio-only call after your video call connects:

1. Press Call on the remote control.

2. Select Add Call from the Hang-up screen.

3. Use the number buttons on the remote control to enter the telephone

number of the audio participant that you want to add to your video

conference.

video conference.
