Placing A Call - LifeSize Passport User Manual

Configuring presets before placing a call ensures that you can quickly change the near end
camera position during the call. To configure a preset for the near end camera before
placing a call, follow these steps:
1. Select the near end camera and adjust its position. Refer to "Controlling
LifeSize Cameras" on page 10.
2. Press and hold a numeric key (1 through 9) on the remote control until you hear a beep.
The current position of the camera is associated with the key. Preset x saved, where x
is the numeric key associated with the preset, appears above the status bar.
If you choose a numeric key that already has a preset configured, it is overwritten. An
administrator can lock existing presets to prevent them from being overwritten. If an
existing preset associated with the key is locked, Preset x locked appears on the
screen. The 0 key, when used as a preset, always moves the selected camera to the
default position and cannot be overwritten.
3. To test the preset, use the arrow keys to move the camera to a different position, and
press the numeric key associated with the preset to move the camera to the preset
position. Preset x, where x is the numeric key associated with the preset, appears
above the status bar.
Managing Near End Video Quality
Before you place a call, examine the near end video image from the camera connected to
your LifeSize system. If the image flickers, colors appear unbalanced, or the image appears
too dark, you may need to adjust the room lighting or camera settings. For more information,
refer to "Adjusting Room Lighting" on page 28 and "Camera Issues" on page 28.

Placing a Call

You can place a video or voice call with your LifeSize system in the following ways:
• Select a stored number from the REDIAL list on the main screen or from the directory.
• Manually dial a number using the Video Call or Voice Call buttons on the main screen
When placing a video call using the remote control, you can dial either phone numbers or IP
addresses. This enables systems inside a corporate network without access to a gateway to
call other LifeSize systems in the network using system IP addresses.
If you enter # as the first character when placing a call, the system attempts to dial the call
first as an ISDN number only if LifeSize Networker is configured for use with
LifeSize Passport.
