Categorizing Directory Entries

When you categorize your local entries, you can find calling information

quickly by searching just the entries in a category instead of the whole
directory.

To create a new category:

1. Select Directory from the Place a Call screen.

2. Select Category.

3. Select Edit Category.

4. Enter a category name.

5. Press

Back to save the new category.

To delete a category:

1. Select Directory from the Place a Call screen.

2. Select Category.

3. Select Edit Category.

4. Scroll to the category name you want to delete and then select Delete.

When you delete a category, all entries in that category are deleted. If you want to keep
these entries, be sure to assign them to a new category before you delete the old
category.

Participating in Calls with Multiple Sites

You can use the V500 system to participate in multipoint conferences. During

a multipoint conference, a multipoint conferencing unit (MCU) enables the

video to switch between sites so that you can always see and hear the
participant who is speaking. You can also receive content in a multipoint call,

just as you can in a point-to-point call.

The V500 system enables you to participate in multipoint calls that use an
external MCU. With an external MCU, the call can:

Include as many sites as allowed by the particular MCU
