Making a call
The Vision 5000 has its own internal software controlled inverse multiplexer, SoftMux and uses Intelligent
Call Management (ICM). This enables you to dial to other videoconferencing equipment, phones and
mobile phones without needing to use a prefix. ICM provides you with on-screen, real-time feedback on the
progress of a call. You will, when calling to videoconferencing equipment, obtain a connection on as many
channels as possible.
External Networks
ICM is not available when using an external IMUX or when connecting via special networks.
Ending a call
Switching off the monitor(s) will not disconnect a call. To disconnect a call you should press the
ACCEPT
END CALL
key.
Video call
To make a video call, enter the number of the unit you wish to call using the Dialling keys and press
SEND
.
Example: 12345678 +
SEND
, 12345678 = Number
The system will, by default, try to connect using 6 channels and BONDING. If the requested number of
channels cannot be established, the system will establish a connection on as many channels as possible
(some limitations depending on remote system).
The SoftMux supports high reliability and includes the unique Downspeed feature. If channels are dropped
during a meeting, Downspeeding automatically maintains the connection without interrupting the call in
progress.
If you are calling to a unit that does not support more than 2 channels, the Vision 5000 will connect on 2
channels. When dialling to an analogue telephone, you will also connect without using a prefix. Due to ICM
you should never need to use any special prefix.
To force a special number of channels, see Special Call Prefixes.
The default number of channels may be changed , see Advanced ISDN settings in Advanced use.
