Accessing and Using Closed Caption

ViewStation FX/VS 4000 User's Guide
Closed caption is a Polycom-proprietary software feature that lets
you display text on the main video screen of the local and far
ViewStation FX or VS4000 system. This is done using ViewStation
FX or VS4000's web interface.
Closed caption is particularly well suited for people participating in
video communications who can only communicate through written
messages or who need to have the verbal exchange of other
participants transcribed or translated on the fly for them. Closed
caption is also a useful tool for the hearing impaired or foreign
speakers.
The following instructions assume that you are already in a video
communication call with a remote site.
1. Start Internet Explorer 4.0 or later or Netscape 4.0 or later.
2. Call the far site.
3. To launch your ViewStation FX or VS4000 Web interface, enter
your ViewStation FX or VS4000 IP address in the
Address/Location field of your Web browser.
4. On the main page of your ViewStation or VS4000 Web interface,
select Closed Caption.
5. Enter your name in the User Name entry box.
6. Enter the ViewStation FX or VS4000 Meeting Password, if one
is set. To find out if a password was set, check the User Setup
screen on the ViewStation. Press OK.
7. You are now on the Closed Caption page.
8. Enter your text in the Current field. You can enter up to 250
characters per line at a time. When you press the Enter key, the
text that you just typed is displayed in the History field.
9. Press Enter on your PC keyboard to send and display your text
to the near site and the far site ViewStation.
