Glossary

Max channels: Indicates the maximum number of channels the system is allowed to use on the E1/T1 interface.

MCU: Multipoint Conference Unit.

MCU status line: Shows indicators for MultiSite, MCU and DuoVideo

MicOff: Microphone is switched off.

Mix mode: How to adjust the weighting of each microphone to obtain the best possible audio and minimize the background noise.

Modem mode: (Dataport) Supports external control of the system via a PC as in Control Mode. Once a call is established, Dataport 1 will automatically switch to Data mode. When the call disconnects, Dataport 1 switches back to Control Mode.

MSN: Multiple Subscriber Number. Possible to attach different ISDN terminals, with different numbers, to the same physical ISDN telephone line. The service can be ordered from the telephone company.

multipoint call: A call with more than two participants including yourself

MultiSite: The TANDBERG systems internal MCU. Built-in system which makes it possible to establish meetings with up to 6 video calls and 5 telephone calls. The MultiSite option is not available on all systems.

MultiSite cascading: By connecting up to 4 MultiSite systems together to achieve a higher number of participants in a multipoint call.

N

NAT: Network Address Translation. NAT support in the videoconferencing system enables proper exchange of audio/video data when connected to an external videoconferencing system when the IP traffic goes through a NAT router. Used in small LANs, often home offices, when a PC and a videoconferencing system is connected to a router with NAT support.

NAT Address: The external/global IP-address to the router with NAT support. Packets sent to the router will then be routed to the system's IP address.

Natural Audio ModuleTM: Designed to improve audio quality during a videoconference. It is mounted in the cabinet above the Codec and consists of an audio system optimized for speech.

Natural Presenter Package: Consists of Duo Video, Digital Clarity and PC Presenter.

Natural VideoTF: 60 fields per second true interlaced picture.

Near End: In a video conference, Near End means your own side of the conference. Near Camera is your own camera. Opposite to Far End

Network clocking: Specifies the number of physical external clock signals.

Network Interface: Indicates if the network is of type E1 or T1.

Network profiles: It is possible to define up to 6 network profiles, each consisting of name and call prefix, and 3 of them also include network selection.

Non Standard Facility: The network provider may require service selection in your ISDN configuration. Valid NSF codes are from 1 to 31. 0 will disable NSF service codes.

NR: Noise Reduction. Reduces constant background noise (e.g. noise from air-conditioning systems, cooling fans, etc.).

NSF: Non Standard Facility.
