Joining a Dataconference Call
You can use your Concorde¥4500 to participate in a dataconference call. Often
referred to as a T.120 conference (from the industry standard), dataconferencing
lets you share information from an electronic whiteboard, an overhead projector,
or an online Þle.
If you have a T.120 peripheral connected to your system, you can dataconference
with other videoconferencing systems that have T.120 peripherals. The easiest
way to join to be called by someone in the dataconference. Simply answer the call
and youÕre in.
To answer a dataconference call:
Press CALL/ADD to answer the call.
The system answers the call and you join the dataconference.
You can now share data with the other dataconference participants.
For more information on dataconferencing, see the documentation that came with
your dataconferencing peripheral.
Making a Nondialed Call
A nondialed network connection is like a hotline Ñ the connection from your
system to another system is always present. Some Concorde¥4500 systems only
have a nondialed connection available. With other systems, you can choose
between a dialed and a nondialed connection.
To make a nondialed call:
1. Press CALL/ADD.
If you only have a nondialed connection available, pressing the CALL/ADD
button will automatically activate the call, and you can begin your meeting.
If you have both dialed and nondialed connections available, the Dialing
Directory screen appears with the
Connect Nondialed Line choice highlighted.
2. Press ENTER to select Connect Nondialed Line.
The system activates the call, and you can begin your meeting.
