Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to make calls using
ISDN, IP, or V.35.
The following table lists some possible call combinations.

When you call an IP system through a gateway that requires an extension (E.164
address), enter the extension in the dialing field whenever possible. Check with
your network administrator for the extension delimiter you will need to enter into the
dialing field. For example, some networks use ## to separate the extension from
the IP address.
When you include the extension, you will be given the option of saving both the
number and the extension in the directory when the call ends. If you enter the
extension after the gateway connects, then you can save only the gateway number
when the call ends.
You may be able to use your Polycom system to place an audio-only call or add
an audio-only call to a video conference.
Other audio options are available if your conference room has a Polycom system
integrated with a SoundStation VTX 1000® conference phone.
For more information about using the SoundStation VTX 1000 conference phone,
