MULTIPOINT CALLS
1.
Point to Point calls are when only two sites are connected. Multipoint calls are
when several sites are connected in a call. The VSX7000e can connect up to four
sites, your site and three others.
2.
To add second site to a call, press the green Call/Hang Up button. Highlight Add
Call, and either manually type in the IP address or choose the address from the
Directory.
3.
When in a multipoint call, there are four different viewing modes for the remote
site, automatic, discussion, presentation, and full screen.
4.
To change the multi-point mode, select System (lower left corner on the Place a
Call screen), select Admin Settings, select Monitors, select Multipoint Setup, the
scroll to the desired Multipoint mode and select it by pressing Enter.
5.
Automatic is the default mode and switches between discussion and presentation
modes automatically based on the interaction between the sites.
6.
Discussion mode will show all sites involved in a call in a split screen, which all
sites can see. (This will be shown on the back monitor.)
7.
Presentation mode shows the teacher full screen on the far site’s screen. The
teacher will see the far site on the back monitor. (This is usually the
recommended setting for teaching.)
8.
Full screen mode is voice activated and will show whichever site is speaking full
screen.
9.
A multipoint call can be ended by hanging up all calls at the same time or
individually.
