Types of Video Calls You Can Make

Polycom, Inc.
Depending on your system configuration, you might be able to make calls
using ISDN, H.323, SIP, or V.35/RS-449/RS-530. You can place an audio-only
call from Polycom HDX systems that have Analog Phone or Voice Over ISDN
enabled.
The following table lists some possible call combinations.

ISDN
Points to note about special dialing scenarios:
• 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 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 are prompted to save both the number and
the extension in the directory when the call ends. If you enter the extension after
the gateway connects, you can save only the gateway number when the call
ends.
• To place a call within your PBX system, enter the internal extension instead of
the full number.
• If you need to insert a pause, add one comma in the dial string for each second
you want the system to pause.
