Making and ending calls
Making a call
To make a call, enter the number or the IP-address of the unit you wish to call using the Dialing
keys and press C
ONNECT.
ISDN call
The system will, by default, try to connect using Quality: Auto (see table overleaf). If the requested quality
(bandwidth) cannot be established, the system will establish a connection on as high quality as possible.
The SoftMux ensures high reliability and includes the unique Downspeeding feature. If channels are dropped
during a meeting, Downspeeding automatically maintains the connection without interrupting the call in
progress. The SoftMux also enables you to dial to other videoconferencing equipment, phones and mobile
phones in the same way and provides you with on-screen, real-time feedback on the progress of a call.
LAN call
To make a call via a LAN, enter an IP-address by using a * as the ‘dot’ in the IP-address, e.g. 123*3*0*12
will be interpreted as 123.3.0.12. If a gatekeeper is present, you may place IP-calls using “telephone-style”
numbers (an E.164 alias), according to the numbering plan implemented in the gatekeeper. The dialed
number will then be translated into an IP-address by the gatekeeper.
TIP
Access Code
If the system requires an Access Code, enter the code and press OK to proceed making a call:
Using sub-address / extension address / MCU password
To specify an ISDN sub-address or its LAN equivalent extension address (TCS-4), add a star (*) after the
number and then enter the sub-address/extension address.
Example: 12345678*10 ( <number>*<Sub-address/extension address/MCU password>)
When calling to external MCU’s requiring a password (TSC-1), this password can be added after the star (*). If
no password is specified, a menu will prompt you to enter the password (after connected to the MCU).
SUB-ADDRESS IS USED TO ADDRESS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ON THE SAME ISDN LINE.
TCS-4 IS USED TO ADDRESS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ON A LAN, WHEN DIALING IN VIA A GATEWAY.
