Environmental Issues

TANDBERG 1700MXP USER GUIDE

Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction in pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products are low energy consuming products.

TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy

Environmental stewardship is important to TANDBERG’s culture. As a global company with strong corporate values, TANDBERG is committed to following international environmental legislation and designing technologies that help companies, individuals and communities creatively address environmental challenges.

TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:

Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and traffic congestion

Provide products and services that improve quality of life for our customers

Produce products that can be recycled or disposed of safely at the end of product life

Comply with all relevant environmental legislation.

European Environmental Directives

As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment TANDBERG is responsible for compliance with the requirements in the European Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2002/95/EC (RoHS).

The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive is to reduce the impact of disposal of electrical and electronic equipment at end-of-life. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring producers to arrange for collection and recycling. The RoHS Directive bans the use of certain heavy metals and brominated flame retardants to reduce the environmental impact of WEEE which is landfilled or incinerated.

TANDBERG has implemented necessary process changes to comply with the European RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) and the European WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC).

Waste Handling

In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems in your area. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end of life equipment in a sound way.

TANDBERG products put on the market after August 2005 are marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol that invites you to use those take-back systems.

Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste administration or http://www.tandberg.net if you need more information on the collection and recycling system in your area.

Information for Recyclers

As part of compliance with the European WEEE Directive, TANDBERG provides recycling information on request for all types of new equipment put on the market in Europe after August 13th 2005.

Please contact TANDBERG and provide the following details for the product for which you would like to receive recycling information:

Model number of TANDBERG product

Your company’s name

Contact name

Address

Telephone number

E-mail.

Digital User Guides

TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the printed versions of our User Guides with a digital CD version. Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one CD – which can be used with all TANDBERG products – in a variety of languages. The environmental benefits of this are significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge. A simple web-based search feature helps you directly access the information you need. In addition, the TANDBERG video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a range of useful features and tips. The contents of the CD can still be printed locally, whenever needed.

Screen Layout

TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

About Screen Layout

Picture in Picture

Picture outside Picture

Auto Layout

The layout of the screen can either be shown as Picture In Picture (PIP) or Picture Outside Picture (POP) when displaying more than one video image. For widescreen monitors, POP is recommended. The behavior of the Layout key depends on the Picture Layout setting in Control Panel > Screen Settings.

When Picture Layout is set to PIP, the Layout key makes it possible to see a second image in a smaller view in one of the corners of the screen. The second image will be placed on top of the main image. You are free to choose in which corner the second image is to be displayed.

Picture-in-Picture

When Picture Layout is set to POP, the Layout key makes it possible to see up to three images in a composition optimized for wide screens. The second image can be displayed either as

a side-by-side the main image (1+1) or smaller images next to the main image (1+2 and 1+3).

Press the Layout button once to get side- by-side view (1+1). Press again to get the layouts 1+2 and 1+3, and finally go back to full screen view. You can also go back to full screen directly by pressing and holding Layout for 1 second.

Picture-outside-Picture

The system will automatically choose the best layout for your call. You can, however, always change layout manually with the Layout key. Auto Layout applies when you open or close a dual video stream, or add or disconnect participants.

Auto Layout also includes automatic PIP. That implies that PIP will be shown when suitable, e.g. to display selfview when you move your near end camera. The automatic PIP times out after a couple of seconds.

Off means no automatic layout changes during a call – you must manually control the images with the Layout key. Auto Layout is default On. To turn Auto Layout Off, go to Control Panel > Screen Settings.

Using the Remote Control to Determine the Screen Layout

Note! Depending on the number of participants in your video meeting and whether you use a dual video stream or not, some of the locations of the screen layouts may be empty. The actual positioning of each picture as you press the Layout key, may vary from the above examples.

Local PC Display

TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

About Local PC Display

Using the Display as Local PC Display

When using the screen as your PC screen, we recommend that you set Local PC Display to On – see Screen Settings in Control Panel. This implies that you can display your PC locally while having a video-confer- ence, and you can keep on working without having the Far End party viewing your PC screen.

We also recommend to have the Auto Layout setting set to On (default) to get a suitable layout when toggling from Local PC Display mode to standard conference mode.

Use the Selfview key to toggle between Local PC Display mode and standard videoconference mode. An indicator tells you that your PC image is displayed locally.

Example: You are using the system as a PC and get an incoming call.

When the setting Use Screen as Local PC monitor is On, you will keep your PC image displayed locally and the incoming call pops up in a PIP or as smaller images in a 1+3 layout, depending on your system. You will see Local PC displayed in the big picture and Far End and/or Near End (yourself) displayed in smaller pictures.

Press the Selfview key to switch to standard conference mode. The Local PC image is no longer displayed and Far End is displayed in the big picture or full screen. Press Selfview again to see Near End. Pressing Selfview a third time will bring back the Local PC display mode.

To mute the microphone during a call, press the Mic Off button. An on-screen indicator appears in the upper right corner when the microphone is Off. In a call, if audio is detected, the on-screen symbol will start to flash. Pressing the Mic Off button one more time will activate the microphone again.

Note! Mic Off will mute all microphone inputs, but it will not mute audio from any AUX and VCR inputs.

When an incoming call is answered, the microphone may be in the off state because the Auto Answer setting is On+Mic Off, see Control Panel > Auto Answer. The icon will flash once you start speaking. Remember to turn on the microphone before a meeting.

Mic Off key

This icon indicates that the microphone has been turned off.

Numerical Keypad Features

TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

What Happens When You Press a Key on the Numerical Keypad?

That depends on the context. The following guidelines apply:

Pressing a Numerical key when outside a call will produce the Call menu.

Once positioned inside an entry field requiring alphanumeric entries, the system automatically goes to ABC mode. Entering letters is similar to a cellular phone – see right.

Once positioned inside an entry field requiring numerical entries, the system automatically switches to 123 mode allowing numbers to be dialled with the Numerical keys as usual.

Using the Number Key Settings

When Number Key Settings is set to Manual (Control Panel > Menu Settings) a menu will be displayed once you press a numerical key inside a call.

Select Add another Call to add participants

Select Dial Extension Number to dial touch tones

Select Use Presets to have the system interpret the number as camera preset addressing.

Using the Numerical Keypad in Alphanumerical Mode

Whenever alphanumerical entries are expected by the system, a small abc appears in the right lower corner of the entry field.

In this mode, entries from the Numerical keypad are automatically interpreted as alphanumeric entries in the same way as on a cellular phone.

Guidelines:

Press the key as many times as needed to access the correct letter.

Change to lower or back to upper case letters with the# a/A key, and space with the 0 _ key.

To write numbers in a text input field, repeatedly press the corresponding key a number of times until the digit appears.

Example: How do I write System 123 in the System Name input field (in General in Administrator Settings)?

Do as follows:

1. Press the 7-key four times to get an S.

procedures and features.

These are all covered in this section.

 

 

Call Handling

Access Codes

TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

About Access Codes

Making Calls when Prompted for an Access Code

 

Your TANDBERG system may, or may not, be set up to require Access Codes to be typed in before a call can be made.

Access Codes are used for two things; call restrictions and billing opportunities.

Call restrictions may be applied by installing a file of valid access codes that must be entered to permit calls to be made.

This installation is typically made from TMS (TANDBERG Management Suite

– available separately).

Billing opportunities. Assume that an access code is needed whenever you make a call. Your company may have different access codes for the different clients of your company.

Then, the access code used may be picked up by TMS to generate statistics on who is calling whom, when, and for how long time.

This information may later form the basis for billing clients or departments. Observe that in this case there will be no strict need for installing an Access Code file on your system – TMS will still have access to the codes you have assigned to the calls. In this case any code entered will be considered valid.

Of course, the two may be combined to form a billing system with call restrictions.

This will then become a system that acts as forced billing.

Access Codes can be up to 16 characters long.

The Access Codes feature is activated in the Security Settings menu of the Control Panel. The activation/deactivation of the feature may be password protected by your System Administrator. If in doubt, consult your System Administrator.

Prepare to make a call

When prompted for an Access Code,

– by dialling manually

enter the code using the Numerical

 

– by using the phone book

keypad, which now will be set to ABC

 

 

mode automatically.

Proceed with your calling as described throughout this section of the User Guide.

Call Handling

Making Calls with Two Parties at the Same Time (Non-MultiSite Systems Only)

TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

About this Feature

Calling Two Parties Simultaneously

Non-MultiSite equipped systems may call another party when already in a call. Thus you may have two calls running at the same time. Note that the two parties will not be able to communicate with each other. The feature requires H.323 or SIP to work.

When you make an additional call, the party called first will be temporarily suspended. The message “Please wait” will appear on the screen of the party suspended.

You may switch between the two parties you have called by navigating to the lowermost line in the main menu as shown in the Figs. to the right.

The features described here applies to systems without the optional MultiSite feature installed.

Note! The presence of MultiSite will disable these features.

Assuming you already are in an H.323 or a SIP call, press the Call button on the remote control. Select Add another Call from the menu. The call currently active will be temporarily Suspended, which can be seen from the lowermost line of the screen.

To switch between the two parties, use the Suspended menu line at the bottom of the screen. This line contains the number of the party currently Suspended.

Call the second party manually or by means of the phone book in the usual manner. Observe that this must also be an H.323 or a SIP call.

To end any or both of the calls, click the End Call button on the remote control. You will have the option of navigating to any of the numbers called to terminate that call or to press the End Call again to terminate both calls simultaneously.

TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

About Transfer

Consultative Transfer

During a call you may transfer the other party to a third party and disconnect yourself from the call.

Call Transfer comes in two flavours; Consultative and Unattended Transfer.

Consultative transfer takes place when you have called two parties at the same time (as discussed on the previous page) and decide that you want to connect the two, while at the same time disconnecting yourself.

Unattended transfer takes place when you transfer a call to someone else without already being in a video call with that party.

Call Transfer applies to SIP calls only!

Call two parties at the same time as outlined on the previous page. Both calls must be of SIP type.

To connect the two parties together, thereby disconnecting yourself, click OK to display the Calll menu (which now will have a slightly different look), navigate down to the Transfer Call icon, and click OK.

Unattended Transfer

Call two parties at the same time as outlined on the previous page. Both calls must be of SIP type.

To connect the two parties together, navigate down to the Transfer Call icon and click OK. The two will be connected and you will be disconnected.

The features described here applies to systems without the optional MultiSite feature installed.

Note! The presence of MultiSite will disable these features.
