Avaya 1010/1020 User Guide 7

Navigating the User Interface

When your Avaya system is idle, a screen saver appears on the display, or the screen is black. An incoming call or pressing any button on the remote control automatically invokes the system.

The Main Screen

Use the arrow keys on the remote control to navigate the main screen. As you navigate to different parts of the screen, the icons and their descriptions that appear in the navigation bar change to indicate what actions are available for a selected object or screen.
The main screen includes the following features:
The top right corner of the screen displays system information such as the system name, and video number. This information is hidden during a call.
Video from the primary input, typically a camera connected to the system, appears in a small window below the system information.
The center of the screen contains the REDIAL list and the Voice Call and Video Call buttons. From the REDIAL list you can place a call by selecting a number from a list of recently dialed numbers. Use the Voice Call and Video Call buttons to dial a number manually.
The system status bar is a white bar that appears immediately below the REDIAL list. The system status bar indicates system and network status, including the number of voice and video calls, the time and date, or the duration of a call when a call is in progress. When the system is booting, status also appears at the top of the REDIAL list to indicate the current state of the system.

A camera preset is a predefined camera position that is associated with a numeric key on the remote control. Camera presets enable you to quickly change the position of the near end PTZ camera during a call by pressing a single key on the remote control instead of using the arrow and zoom keys. Far end participants see the video image without the delay that is associated with using more than one key to position the camera.
You can configure and use presets in the Primary Input and Presentation Input screens before placing a call and from any video screen during a call. To configure and use presets during a call, you must first select Presets from the Call Manager screen. For more information about using presets during a call, refer to “Using Avaya Video Camera 150 Presets During a Call” on page 24.
You can save nine presets. When presets are available for use, icons for the numeric keys (0 through 9) followed by the word Presets appear in the navigation bar.
Avaya 1010/1020 User Guide 11
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 Avaya Video Camera 150s” on page 10.
2. Press and hold a numeric key (1 through 9) on the remo te control until you he ar 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 mo ves the selected camera to the default position and cannot be overwrit te n.
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, appe ar s 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 Avaya 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 30 and “Camera Issues” on page 31.

Placing a Call

You can place a video or voice call with your Avaya system in the following ways:
Select a stored number from the REDIAL list on the main screen or from the directory.

12 Avaya 1010/1020 User Guide

Placing a Call from the REDIAL List

The REDIAL list on the main screen stores up to 15 recently dialed numbers. A scroll bar appears when more than five entries are available for selection. The oldest entry in the list is automatically removed when the system receives a call after the maximum number of entries has been reached.
The last call placed always appears at the top of the list. The entry includes the name of the system called and an icon that indicates whether the call was a voice or video call. The entry’s number (and bandwidth if the entr y is a video call) appears below the list when the entry is selected. If the system receives a call, but does not answer it, the call appears in the REDIAL list as a missed call. The symbol appears next to the name in the entry. Select the entry to display the date and time of the missed call below the REDIAL list.
To place a call from the REDIAL list, use the arrow keys on the remote control to select an entry and press OK.
To change the bandwidth for a video call on the REDIAL list before placing the call, select Video Call on the main screen, press OK twice, and use the right arrow key to select the desired bandwidth from the list.
Note: Selecting Auto from the Video Call selection before placing a call does not change
the bandwidth selection for an entry on the REDIAL list that does not have Auto as its last called bandwidth.
You can adjust the maximum number of entries that appear in the REDIAL list by adjusting the Maximum Redial Entries preference in User Preferences : Calls.
The None option for the Maximum Redial Entries preference removes existing entries from the REDIAL list and prevents new entries from appearing on the list.
You can also add entries from the REDIAL list to the local directory and manually remove entries or lock them to prevent them from being automatically removed when the maximum number of entries is reached. For more information, refer to “Managing the REDIAL List” on page 26.
