Making a Video Conference Call

You can make a video conference call using one of the following methods.
Note
•
During a video conference call, you cannot perform the following operations:
–
Pressing [Menu] to display the Menu screen.
–
Pressing [Contact] to display the contact list screen.
•
Make sure that peripheral devices (e.g., display, main video camera) are turned on.
•
If a called party does not answer a video conference call within approximately 60 seconds, the call will
be terminated automatically.
•
If you are using the KX-VC300, 3-party/4-party video conference calls can only be made after
purchasing an activation key card (KX-VCS301) to activate multiple-party video conference calls
(Page 127). For details about the activation key, contact your dealer.
•
2-party/3-party/4-party video conference calls can be made using the outgoing call history.
•
Only 2-party video conference calls can be made using the incoming call history.
•
You cannot add parties to an existing video conference call.
•
During a 3-party/4-party video conference call, even if only one party ends the video conference call,
the rest of the parties will also be disconnected.
•
A video conference call will start with only the parties that answered the call. For example, if only one
party answers a 4-party video conference call, the video conference call will start as a 2-party video
conference call.
•
3-party/4-party video conference calls may not be possible depending on bandwidth settings
(Page 99, Page 132).
•
Video conference calls can be made using a SIP URI through a SIP server only when in IP Mode and
if SIP settings have been made correctly.
•
Video conference calls can be made using an H.323 extension or H.323 name only when in IP Mode
and if the gatekeeper settings have been made correctly.
•
Video conference calls cannot be made if the call type programmed in the speed dial (SIP or H.323)
has been set to "OFF" on the call type settings screen.
•
When connecting to non-Panasonic video conference systems or using H.323, you can make only
2-party video conference calls.
•
When you use the contact list or speed dial to call a party stored in the contact list with
"Multi-Point" set to "No", the maximum bandwidth setting that is assigned to each address in the
contact list is used for the call (Page 92). When calling a party in the call history that matches a party
in the contact list, the maximum bandwidth setting that is assigned to each address in the contact list
is used for the call.
Calling Using Speed Dial (2-party Conference/3-party Conference/
4-party Conference)
Note
•
To call using speed dial, you need to have a speed dial number programmed in "Speed Dial" in the
contact list (Page 92).
