3.2 Connecting to a 4E1 Network

1 Captive screw

2 4E1 port (RJ45)

3 Edge connector

Only the TE80 supports 4E1 functions. To implement video communication over a 4E1-line dedicated network, you must connect the TE80 to the network.



Do not connect outdoor cables directly to the TE80. If outdoor E1 lines (unbalanced) are led indoors, surge protectors are required. Any questions, contact technical support personnel.



The connection of E1 lines must comply with grounding specifications. For details, see A

E1 and T1 Grounding Criteria.

A 4E1 interface card provides four balanced-output ports. If the TE80 has a 4E1 interface card installed, connect the TE80 to a 4E1-line dedicated network.

The ports of a 4E1 interface card can be used for any of the four E1 lines. There is no mapping between the ports and the four E1 lines on the local and the remote ends, so the lines can be connected to any of the ports at the local and remote ends, as long as all the four lines are connected.

3.2.1 Inserting a 4E1 Interface Card

To hold conferences over a 4E1 network, you must insert a 4E1 interface card into the corresponding interface slot at the back of the TE80.

For safety reasons, insert the interface card only when the TE80 is powered off.

Figure 3-1 shows the appearance of a 4E1 interface card, for your reference only.

Table 3-7 Status indicator on the 4E1 port

3.2.3 Setting 4E1 Parameters

If 4E1 lines are used for video communication, you must set 4E1 parameters such as the account, password, clock mode, signaling mode, and sensitivity.

Prerequisites

Context

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Advanced > Settings > Network > 4E1/E1. Set the parameters listed in Table 3-9.

Before setting 4E1 parameters, ensure that 4E1 lines are used by the TE80. If the TE80 has a 4E1 interface card installed, the TE80 automatically detects the interface

card type and displays the corresponding configuration screen. For parameter details, contact your network service provider.

If 4E1 lines are faulty and if automatic backup is available, the endpoint uses the backup line preferentially, and then reduces the conference rate automatically. The endpoint can perform automatic backup, automatic rate reduction, or automatic rate increase in one second. During the process, erratic display may occur on the video and noise may exist. After two seconds, however, the video and the audio will be recovered and the conference rate remains unchanged.



If the TE80 is connected to another endpoint, set one endpoint's clock as the master clock and the other's to slave clock.

Signaling mode

Specifies the transmission mode for 4E1 signaling.

The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is used to test the network quality, and CRC results indicate frame error rates. When you select an option that contains CRC4, the TE80 tests the network for bit errors.



To use channel associated signaling, select CAS.



To use common channel signaling, select CCS.

Sensitivity

Specifies the sensitivity of the receive equalizer.

Set this parameter based on the length of the 4E1 line used between the TE80 and the nearest network node such as a switch.



If the length of the 4E1 line used between the TE80 and the nearest network node exceeds 100 meters, select Long line.



If the length of the 4E1 line used between the TE80 and the nearest network node is less than 100 meters, you can select Long line or Short line. Long line is recommended because it provides a higher sensitivity.

Step 2 Select Save.

6.9 Managing Captions

You can create a caption on your endpoint. In addition, you can share the caption with remote sites during a conference.

6.1 Experiencing a Dual-Stream Conference

6.1.1 Designating the Dual Streams

You need to choose the input sources and output destinations for the video and presentation.

Background

If multiple video-source devices are connected to the video input ports on the endpoint, you can choose a channel of video as the source of the local video and another channel as the source of the local presentation.

The endpoint adopts difference policies to deliver the video and presentation based on on-site situations:



In single-screen display mode, if no presentation is shared during a conference, remote

sites view the conference video of the local site; if a presentation is shared, both the local

and remote sites view the presentation.



In dual-screen mode, the display device connected to the main output port delivers the

video while the display device connected to the auxiliary output port delivers the

presentation.



During the layout switch in combined picture or continuous presence mode, remote sites

can always view the conference video of the local site.

Selecting the Video Source

Choose Advanced > Settings > Video > Common Settings > Video Input. On the displayed screen, set Video Source to a video feed.

Selecting the Presentation Source

Choose Advanced > Settings > Video > Common Settings > Video Input. On the displayed screen, set Presentation Source to a video feed.

Selecting the Output Destinations for the Video and Presentation

By default, the endpoint comes with one display device and uses the main output port to deliver both the video and presentation. If two display devices are connected to the endpoint, you can set the endpoint to separately display the video and presentation on the two display devices.

HUAWEI TE80 Videoconferencing Endpoint Administrator Guide

6 Conference

Issue 02 (2014-03-30)

Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

One display device: Based on the default endpoint settings, the display device connected to the 1 MAIN OUT port can show the video, presentation, remote controlled UI, captions, and combined pictures.

Two display devices: To show the video and presentation independently on two display devices, connect the two to the 1MAIN OUT and 2 PC OUT ports if you are using the TE80 or to the 1 MAIN OUT. A display device shows the video when connected to the 1 MAIN OUT port and shows the presentation when connected to the 2 PC OUT port (or 2 HDMI OUT port). The Presentation display parameter must be enabled in order for this to work. For details, see 4.2.1 Configuring Video Output.

6.1.2 Sharing a Presentation

A computer can be connected to the endpoint to share files, and the remote sites can view both your video and the desktop contents of the computer.

Prerequisites

The video source of the presentation has been configured. The presentation sharing function has been enabled, and the presentation parameters have

been set. By default, the endpoint has the presentation sharing function enabled, and the default presentation parameter settings support presentation sharing. To modify these parameters, see 13.3 Setting Advanced Conference Parameters.

Background

You can select either of the following modes for sharing a presentation:



Auto: The endpoint automatically sends the video along with the presentation. This

mode is available only when Presentation mode is set to Live.


