Placing a Video Call
You can use your system to place a video call in any of these ways:
‰ Using the directory
‰ Entering a name or number
‰ Choosing from a list of recently called sites
‰ Choosing a site from the Contacts or Speed Dial list on the Place a Call
screen, if you have configured your system to have one
Calling by Using the Directory
The directory is a list of names and numbers that’s stored locally on the V500
system.
When a call ends, you can save call information to the local directory. This
information is then available to all other users of the system. Depending on
your system configuration, you may also be able to remove or edit names or
dialing information in the local directory.
If the system is registered with a global directory, the directory also includes
entries from the global directory. Global entries are marked with
. For both
types of entries, the name appears with its corresponding number, IP address,
or both.
To place a call from the directory:
1. Select Directory from the Place a Call screen.
2. Find the entry to call by:
ƒ Spelling the first or last name using the number buttons on the remote
control.
ƒ Pressing Keyboard to use the on-screen keyboard to spell the
name.
ƒ Scrolling through the list of names using the arrow buttons on the
remote control.
ƒ Using the alphabet tabs to move through the directory and then
scrolling to the name you want.
3. Press Call to place the call.
Depending on your system configuration, when you make a call using an entry with both
ISDN and IP dialing information, the system may prompt you to choose which way to
place the call.
