Making and ending calls

Making a call

connect To make a call, enter the number or the IP-address of the unit you wish to call using the Dialing keys and press CONNECT.

ISDN call

The system will, by default, try to connect using Quality: Auto (see table overleaf). If the requested quality (bandwidth) cannot be established, the system will establish a connection on as high quality as possible.

The SoftMux ensures high reliability and includes the unique Downspeeding feature. If channels are dropped during a meeting, Downspeeding automatically maintains the connection without interrupting the call in progress. The SoftMux also enables you to dial to other videoconferencing equipment, phones and mobile phones in the same way and provides you with on-screen, real-time feedback on the progress of a call.

LAN call

To make a call via a LAN, enter an IP-address by using a * as the ‘dot’ in the IP-address, e.g. 123*3*0*12 will be interpreted as 123.3.0.12. If a gatekeeper is present, you may place IP-calls using “telephone-style” numbers (an E.164 alias), according to the numbering plan implemented in the gatekeeper. The dialed number will then be translated into an IP-address by the gatekeeper.
