Answering a Video Call

© Polycom, Inc.
The directory is a list of names and numbers stored locally on the V500
system.
If the system is registered with a Global Directory Server, the directory
also includes entries from the global directory.
To place a call from the directory:
1. Select Directory from the home screen.
2. Find the entry to call.
3. Press Call to place the call.
For more information about using the directory, see Working with Directory Entries
on page 14.
Depending on your system configuration, when you make a call using an entry with
both ISDN and IP dialing information, the system may prompt you to choose which
way to place the call.
The V500 system can answer incoming calls in one of these ways:
The system prompts you to answer the calls manually.
The system answers incoming calls automatically.
When a call comes in, you hear a ringing sound, and you may see a
message that includes the number of the person calling. If the person is
listed in the directory, you'll also see the person's name.
To answer the call manually:
Select Answer or press
If your system is set up to automatically answer calls, the call connects
automatically.
If you see Near on your screen, your microphone is muted. To unmute your
microphone, press Mute on the remote control.
If you see Far on your screen, the far site's microphone is muted. You will not
be able to hear the people at the far site until the far site microphone is unmuted.
