Sending a Message
If you are experiencing difficulties with connectivity or audio, you may want to
send a message to the V500 system.
Only the near site can see the message; it is not broadcast to the far site in the call.
To send a message via the V500 web interface:
1. On a PC, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the system’s IP address (for example,
http://255.255.255.255 ) to go to the V500 web interface.
3. Enter admin as the user name, and the password, if a password has been
established.
4. Go to System Setup > Diagnostics > Send a Message.
5. In the Send a Message page, enter a message (up to 100 characters in length),
then click Send Message.
The message is displayed for 15 seconds on the screen of the system.
