Getting Started
The Cisco C Series (formerly Tandberg) units provide high definition video
conferencing facilities. They can be used in a number of different configurations
including mobile carts, large TV systems or room based projector systems.
Although the control of the televisions or projectors will vary from system to
system, the basic control of the video conferencing unit will be the same.
On fixed systems, it is likely that the unit is
fully connected, switched on and left in a
standby mode.
On system using a projector, there may be
a room control panel that is used to turn
on the projectors.
If you are unsure how to turn on the
system please refer to site specific
documentation, or contact your support
team.

Mobile Systems
Having connected the power supply, it may be necessary to switch on the codec
and the display. The power switch for the video conferencing unit is normally
located at the back left of the unit. Depending on the model this is either a push
button or a rocker switch.
You may also need to turn on the TV. Use the button on the remote control.
Please note that some displays also have a power switch tucked away on the
rear of the unit.
If using a mobile system, it may
be necessary to connect the
system to the power supply
and computer network.
Simply connect the power cord
to a socket and connect the
data cable to the appropriate
data point.
In general, syste
ms used for
video conferencing need to be
plugged into specially
configured data points. If you
need to connect the system in
an areas not previously set-up
please contact a member of
your support team.

System Basics
Video conferencing functions are carried out using the remote control. When the
system is not in use, it is in standby mode. The screens are black. To wake up
the system pick up the remote or press any key.
When the system is woken up, you will see the system wallpaper along
with a
number of information boxes and menus. The ‘phone number’ of the system
should be displayed in the top left corner. If this is not displayed it is likely that
your system is not properly connected. Please consult the troubleshooting
section or contact your local support team.
The menu is the interface you will use to control the system. Use the arrow keys
to select the menu item you want then press the OK button to select it.
