TANDBERG 770, 990, 880 user manual Adding an extra site dial out

General use TANDBERG Videoconferencing System

Adding an extra site - dial out

First establish a normal point-to-point call. It is recommended to plan the bandwidth usage before making the first call so that you do not run out of bandwidth.

EXAMPLE: IF THE SYSTEM HAS 512KBPS AVAILABLE AND YOU WANT TO CONNECT 3 SITES IN ADDITION TO THE HOST, 128KBPS SHOULD BE SELECTED FOR THE FIRST CALL. THE SYSTEM WILL THEN AUTOMATICALLY USE 128KBPS WHEN CONNECTING THE OTHER SITES.

When the first site is connected, add a site to the conference using the following procedure:

connect • Press CONNECT to bring up the following menu:

• Press ‘Add Site’ to bring up the MultiSite dial menu.

NOTE IF THE MULTISITE SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH BANDWIDTH TO ADD ANOTHER SITE, THE SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSPEED TO ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL SITE TO BE ADDED TO THE CONFERENCE. REQUIREMENT: FAR END MUST SUPPORT DOWNSPEED AND MUST HAVE ENOUGH BANDWIDTH.

TIP CONNECT THE SYSTEM WITH THE LOWEST BANDWIDTH FIRST IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE CONNECTION TIME.

• Enter the number to call.

The Quality will, by default, be the same as used by the first call. To place a telephone call instead of a video call, press ‘Quality’ and select ‘Teleph’ in the Quality menu.

To use another network operator, press ‘Net’ and select operator in the Net menu.

connect • Press CONNECT

TIP

IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONNECT SEVERAL TELEPHONES, E.G. 2 VIDEO SYSTEMS + 3 TELEPHONES (A TOTAL OF 5 SITES).
