Call Handling
Creating Multisite Contacts in the Phone Book
TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE
About Multisite Contacts*
Assume that you frequently use your video system to set up MultiSite video meetings involving the same persons every time.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to set up the video meeting with just a few clicks?
Enter MultiSite Contacts. You may assign contacts already in your Phone Book to a MultiSite group. This group will in turn form a MultiSite Contact. When setting up a video conference, all members of a particu- lar MultiSite Contact will then be connected automatically, so you won’t have to call them one by one!
My Contacts can hold up to 50 MultiSites Contacts. The TANDBERG 1700 MXP sup- ports up to a total of 4 video participants and 3 telephone participants per meeting.
*MultiSite Contacts is an optional feature. Contact your system administrator or your TANDBERG representative for details.
Press the Phone Book icon to enter the Phone Book.
Press OK to produce the submenu.
The cursor will now be positioned at the name field allowing you to enter a name for the group.
Defining a New MultiSite Contact
Use the Arrow keys to navigate to the My Contacts and press OK.
Use the Arrow keys to navigate one line down to add a participant. Any participants to be added must be in the Local Phone Book already.
Use the Arrow keys to navigate to the Task Column and select the MultiSite icon.
Press OK to produce the Add Participant dialogue box.
Bandwidth for a MultiSite Contact Call
When calling a MultiSite Contact, the system will try to call the participants with their speci- fied bandwidths. If the total bandwidth exceeds the system’s maximum bandwidth, the system will downspeed and distribute the available bandwidth equally among all the participants.
Example: Assume that in a MultiSite Contact there is one participant with band- width 256 kbps and one participant with bandwidth 384 kbps. Furthermore assume that 512 kbps is the maximum bandwidth of the system.
The sum of the two participants’ bandwidth clearly exceeds the maximum bandwidth available. The system will then downspeed so that each participant connects with equal bandwidth, i.e. 512kbps/2 = 256 kbps.
Navigate to a participant to be included in the MultiSite Contact. Press OK to include.
Move one line down and repeat the procedure.
Continue until all participants have been added. Exit by OK or Cancel as usual. You may include up to 4 video participants and 3 telephone particpants.
