Getting Started Guide
When you attend a meeting using the Polycom
it's very much like any other meeting you attend in a conference room. With
a VSX system, you can meet with people anywhere in the world, without any
travel required.
The VSX systems are easy to use. It's easy to place calls, create your own
directory of numbers, change the way calls are answered, and customize
what you see on the screen. Depending on how your system is configured,
you can make video calls using ISDN or IP connections and to one site or
multiple sites at one time.
You can also share information in calls using content sharing software,
document cameras, VCRs, or DVDs.
Before you place your first call, use this guide to get some basic "how-to"
information. This guide includes overview information that you may find
helpful when you're just starting to learn about video conferencing or when
you have experience, but you need a quick refresher.
VSX systems can be customized to show only those options used in your organization.
Therefore, there may be options covered in this guide that you cannot access on your
system. To find out more about these options, please talk to the administrator of your
VSX system.
This guide covers instructions for the following models.
VSX set-top systems: VSX 5000, VSX 6000, VSX 7000, and VSX 7000s.
VSX component systems: VSX 7000e and VSX 8000.
VSX 3000 executive desktop system.
You use the remote control to place calls, adjust the volume, navigate
screens, and select options.
If you need to enter text, you can press number buttons, using the text-entry
method commonly used with cell phones. For example, to enter a "b", press
the number 2 button twice. Alternatively, you can press
use the on-screen keyboard to enter text.
