2. Select Group.

You can also find a list of worldwide numbers that you can use to test your
V500 system at www.polycom.com/videotest.
If you have trouble making video calls:
• Make sure the number you dialed is correct, then try the call again. For
example, you may need to dial 9 for an outside line or include a long
distance access code or country code.
• To find out if the problem exists in your system, ask the person you were
trying to reach to call you instead.
