Placing Audio-only Calls and Adding Audio-Only Sites (VSX 8000)
Depending on the configuration, you can use your VSX 8000 system to place
an audio-only call, or you can add an audio-only call to a video conference.
This lets you:
Use your system in the same way as a telephone.
Add audio-only participants to your video calls.
Add video calls to your audio-only calls.
Other audio options are available if your conference room has a VSX video conferencing
system integrated with a VTX™ 1000 conference phone.
For more information about using the VTX 1000 conference phone, see
Using the VTX 1000 Conference Phone in Video Calls on page 32.
