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 par ts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products are low energ y 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 energ y 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 cer tain 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, TAND ­BERG 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

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 set ting in Control Panel > Screen
Settings.

Picture in Picture

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

Using the Remote Control to Determine the Screen Layout

Picture outside 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 side­by-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

Auto Layout

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 self view 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.
Note! Depending on the number of partici-
pants 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

When using the screen as your PC screen, we recommend that you set Local PC Dis-
play to ON – see Screen Settings in Control
Panel. This implies that you can display your PC locally while having a video -confer­ence, 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 tog gling from Local PC Display mode to standard conference mode.
Use the Selfview key to toggle between Local PC Display mode and standard vide ­oconference 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.

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 sys-
tem automatically switches to 123 mode allowing numbers to be dialled with the Numerical keys as usual.

Settings.
Obser ve that the Control Panel may have been password protected by your adminstrator.
Touch Tones
To activate dialling touch tones during a call, press the Touch tones button. An indicator will let you know that Touch tones are enabled. Finish with OK to exit
Touch tone mode.

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.

Call Handling

We recommend that you check out the TANDBERG web site regularly for updated versions of this manual:
http://ww w.tandberg.net/support/ documentation.php
Your TANDBERG 1700 MXP can do point-to-point video and telephone calls as well as video conferences with up to 4 video calls and 3 telephone calls (this is called MultiSite).
This section of the User Guide outlines the call handling procedures and features.
Please observe that some topics covered apply to point-to­point call handling only, while others apply to MultiSite call handling only. In addition some apply to both situations. These are all covered in this section.
Call Handling

Access Codes

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE

About Access Codes

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 t wo things; call restrictions and billing opportunities.
Call restrictions may be applied by install-
ing 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 ac-
cess code is needed whenever you make a call. Your company may have different access codes for the dif ferent 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. Obser ve 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 Con ­trol 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
– by dialling manually – by using the phone book

About this Feature

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 par ties 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 part y 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.

Calling Two Parties Simultaneously

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 t wo par ties, 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.
The features described here applies to systems without the optional Multi­Site feature installed.
Note! The presence of
MultiSite will disable these features.

About 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; Con -
sultative 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.

About MultiSite Conferences

Conference systems with built-in MultiSite can han­dle up to 4 IP video calls and 3 IP telephone calls simultaneously.
You may set up a video meeting with many par­ticipants in advance and/or you may add participants during a conference. This is called to Add Another Call.
Observe that Add Another
Call is an optional feature,
which your system may, or may not, be equipped with.
Systems without this option will have no Add Another
Call icon in the menus.

Streaming

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE

About Streaming

Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting to participants on the web. The web participants can view the meeting, listen to the meeting, see snapshots, but not participate themselves. Snapshots of current stream (if MultiSite), selfview, far end and Dual Video Streams are accessible via http.
Tip! The streaming source
setting is not available when streaming only is suppor ted outside a call.

To View the Streaming

After streaming is

started, an easy way to view the streamed audio/video on your PC, is to start your Web browser and enter the IP-address of the streaming system.

Streaming Settings

Allow Remote Start

On: Streaming can be started from exter-
nal user interfaces like the Web- browser
or Telnet session.
Off: Streaming can only be started from
the Video Conferencing System User In­terface using the remote control, or by using the Data port. This will prevent ac­tivation of streaming using Web browser
or Telnet sessions. See also Password.

Announcements

On: The codec will send announcement
packets to the network that it is stream­ing. This enables a streaming client (e.g. a PC) to connect to the codec’s stream-
ing session. Used by Cisco IP/TV.
Off: No announcement packets will be
transmitted.
Address is defined as the IP-address of a streaming
client, streaming server or a multicast address. Giving an address in the range 224.0.0.1239.255. 255.255 will broadcast the stream to any host that has joined the specif ied multicast group. Specifying normal broadcast address 255.255.255.255 will broadcast
to any members on the LAN.

Password

Set password so that only par ticipants entering correct password will be able to view the stream­ing session. Entering a password will prevent un­authorized people from accessing the streaming
session.

Video Rate

Defines the Video streaming rate from the sys­tem. Range is 16–320 kbps. In addition, audio (G.711) streaming rate is 64 kbps, providing a
maximum streaming rate of 384 kbps.

Address

Address Port

If several codec’s are streaming to the same IP-address, different ports have to be used in order for the client to know which stream to receive. If the first codec streams on por t 2240 and the second codec on port 2250, the client has to specify which port to listen to. Video is transmitted on the specif ied port; audio is transmitted on the port number 4 greater than the specif ied video por t, in this case 2244 and 2254.

TTL/Router Hops

This is used for streaming data to limit how many routers the data should pass before it is rejected. If TTL is set to 2, data will not traverse more than 2 router hops.

Streaming Source

Auto: Enables streaming of both local
and far end video. Selection of which site to be streamed is done using voice switching (the site that speaks is streamed).
Local: Only the local video will be streamed.
Remote: Only the far end video will be
streamed.
Local and far end audio is always streamed.
After the Web page
of the system is shown, click on Streaming. Alternatively, enter http://<codec/ ip-address>/ showstream.ssi

Answering an Incoming Call

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE

About Incoming Calls and Privacy

You may want to set up your system so that the microphone is switched off whenever you receive an incoming call.
By pressing the Microphone Off key you will prevent callers from hearing you without your control (press again to acti­vate).
To combine convenience and privacy, your system may be set up to automatically accept an incoming call, but with the microphone switched off. In this case you must switch the microphone back on manually yourself (just press the Micro-
phone Off key to reactivate a disabled microphone).
You may also have your system set up so that you always must answer all incoming calls manually.
These settings are par ts of the Settings (in Control Panel) available. Your adminstrator, may or may not, have password protection activated to prevent unauthorized alterations of these and other settings. If in doubt, consult your adminstra ­tor.
Note! A message will be sent to the far end whenever you
have disabled your microphone and/or your camera.
Tip! An alternative to the above could be the use of the Do Not Disturb feature (far right).

Want to Change the Video Alert Audio Signal?

You are not stuck with the audio signal alerting you that an incoming call is on its way. This may be changed, see Audio
Settings in the Control Panel section. Note that these settings
may be password protected by your adminstrator.

Incoming Calls will Produce the Below Menu

Creating Multisite Contacts in the Phone Book

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE

About Multisite Contacts*

Assume that you frequently use your video system to set up MultiSite video meetings involving the same persons ever y time.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to set up the video meeting with just a few clicks?
Enter MultiSite Contacts. You may assign contacts already in your Phone Book to a MultiSite group. This group will in turn form a MultiSite Contact. When setting up a video conference, all members of a particu­lar MultiSite Contact will then be connected automatically, so you won’t have to call them one by one!
My Contacts can hold up to 50 MultiSites Contacts. The TANDBERG 1700 MXP sup- ports up to a total of 4 video participants and 3 telephone participants per meeting.
* MultiS ite Contact s is an opt ional f eatur e. Cont act your
system a dmini strator or you r TANDBE RG repr esent ativ e for det ails.

Bandwidth for a MultiSite Contact Call

When calling a MultiSite Contact, the system will try to call the participants with their speci­fied bandwidths. If the total bandwidth exceeds the system’s maximum bandwidth, the system will downspeed and distribute the available bandwidth equally among all the participants.
Example: Assume that in a MultiSite
Contact there is one par ticipant with band ­width 256 kbps and one participant with bandwidth 384 kbps. Furthermore assume that 512 kbps is the maximum bandwidth of the system.
The sum of the two participants’ bandwidth clearly exceeds the maximum bandwidth available. The system will then downspeed so that each participant connects with equal bandwidth, i.e. 512kbps/2 = 256 kbps.

Video Meeting Features

We recommend that you check out the TANDBERG web site regularly for updated versions of this manual:
http://ww w.tandberg.net/support/ documentation.php
Your TANDBERG 1700 MXP can do point-to-point video and telephone calls as well as video conferences with up to 4 video calls and 3 telephone calls (the latter is called MultiSite).
Some system features apply to point-to-point calls only, others apply to video conferences only, while a couple of features apply to both situations.
This part of the User Guide outlines features applicable to point-to-point calls only, but also features shared by point­to-point and conferences.
Features specific to video conferences are treated separately in the section MultiSite Features.
Video Meeting Features

Features Overview

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE
This section of the User Guide outlines features available during a video call. Main emphasis has been put on features avail­able in point-to -point calls only (as opposed to video conference calls – also called MultiSite calls). However, features available for both point-to-point and MultiSite are also covered.
Obser ve that although Screen Layout features and Streaming indeed apply during video calls, they are not described in this section, but in Getting Acqainted with the
System and Call Handling, respectively.

Screen Layout

You may set the system to show yourself (selfview), the other party, or a presenta­tion.
The TANDBERG 1700 MXP can also be used as a local PC display, without let ting the other party see what’s on your PC screen.
Finally, you may also set up the system to display more than one image on the screen (Picture In Picture – PIP or Picture Outside Picture – POP).
For more on this, see Selfview, Local PC
Display and Screen Layout.

Far End Camera Control

This is a feature that lets you pan, tilt, and zoom the far end camera. If far end presets are available you may access these as well, and you may also make use of any video sources that the far end may have at its disposal.
This feature requires a movable camera in the far end – i.e. communication between two 1700 MXP units will not provide far end camera control.
For more on this, see Far End Camera
Control.

Presentations

The Presentation Functionality in the system enables you to show other available video sources in addition to your Main Cam­era. This is perfect for meetings where you would like to show a PowerPoint presenta ­tion, for example.
Use Presentation outside a call to make a local presentation for the people in your own meeting room. Use Presentation when you are in a call to make a presentation for the far end as well.
For more on this, see Presentation.

Presets

The far end may use camera presets to easily var y between predefined camera angles in their own end. Thus they eliminate the need to move their camera about in a manual way.
Your 1700 MXP may get access to these set- tings. If no presets have been stored and you try to access far end presets nothing will happen.
For more on this, see Far End Camera Control
– Using Far End Presets.

Dual Video Stream

With Dual Stream (optional feature) you have the opportunity to show two different live video streams simultaneously, main video and one additional source. This is handy when showing a presentation. You see the live presentation and the live video of the presenter simultaneously. Both par­ties must suppor t Dual Video Stream to make this work. If not, the presentation will be sent as the main video stream instead.
For more on this, see Dual Video Stream.

Accessing Far End Video Sources

In point-to-point video meetings your system may be connected to a system with several inputs for various video sources. You may get access to these by means of the Far End Video controls.
Obser ve that your system can access the inputs only. The far end may have connected other sources to the inputs than the input names normally should suggest.
For more on this, see Accessing Far End
Video Sources.
D 13954.01 JUNE 2006

Snapshots

The system can take a snapshot of your live video. Snapshot is handy when you are in a call with a system that does not support
Dual Video Stream. Use Snapshot to
show a snapshot of your presentation and continue the meeting with main camera.
For more on this, see Snapshots.

Text Chat

You may use your 1700MXP to send and receive text messages using the chatting function available.
All you need is to select the Text Chat func ­tion and use the keypad as you would when sending text messages (SMS) using your cellular phone.
For more on this, see Text Chat.
42

Streaming

Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting to participants on the web. The web participants can view the meeting, listen to the meeting, see snapshots, but not participate themselves. Snapshots of current stream (if MultiSite), selfview, far end and Dual Video Streams are accessible via http.
For more on this, see Streaming.

USER GUIDE

About Presentation

The Presentation Functionality in the system enables you to show other available video sources in addition to your Main Cam­era. This is perfect for meetings where you would like to show a PowerPoint presenta ­tion, for example. You can even use Arrow keys up and down on the remote control to activate Page Up/Down on the PC (this applies when using VNC only).
Use Presentation outside a call to make a local presentation for the people in your own meeting room. Use Presentation when you are in a call to make a presentation for the far end as well.
The quickest way to show a presentation is to use the Presentation key on the remote control. The Presentation key shows a predefined video source, PC is the default. It is possible to change the presentation source in the Presentation menu. Choose
Presentation from the main menu if you
want to select a video source manually. The Presentation menu of fers you all the available video sources suppor ted by your system.
Tip! The default presentation source can
be permanently changed in Presentation
Settings.
Connect the device to act as a source

Alternatively, press the Presentation
key on the remote control for one second.

Dual Video Stream

TANDBERG 1700MXP
USER GUIDE

About Dual Video Stream

With Dual Stream (optional) you have the oppor tunity to show two dif ferent live video streams simultaneously, main video and one additional source. This is handy when showing a presentation. You see the live presentation and the live video of the presenter simultaneously. When you start a presentation, Dual Stream starts automatically if both local and remote system supports Dual Stream. If one of the systems does not support Dual Stream, no second video stream will be established and your presentation will be shown as your main video instead. However, in a MultiSite meeting dual stream will be established if at least two systems support it. Those not suppor ting it will get no second stream!

Dual Stream and Bandwidth

Using Dual Stream, the quality automati ­cally downspeeds to the optimal bandwidth. This means that you need higher quality to allocate enough bandwidth for the two video streams. Dual Stream borrows band­width from main video stream. When Dual Stream is closed, the bandwidth is returned to the main video.
Note that when selecting the Document Camera or PC, the system will automatically request floor when connected to a MCU conference as MultiSite host or connected to an external MCU.
Connect the device to act as a source

for the presentation (PC, DVD, VCR) to the system, and select Presentation from the menu, followed by OK.
Alternatively, press the Presentation
key on the remote control for one second.

Running a Presentation Using Dual Video Stream

The Presentation menu will now be
displayed.
Make sure the DuoVideo tab is
selected (as shown here) and navigate to the source whose contents is to be sent as dual stream.
You are free to choose whether the dual stream (the other stream) shall be your camera or your presentation – see the previous page for more on this.
Example of dual stream in a MultiSite meet­ing with three participants and a presenta­tion
End the Dual Stream presentation by
pressing Presentation key again.

Snapshots

TANDBERG 1700MXP
USER GUIDE

About Snapshots

The system can take a snapshot of your live video. Snapshot is handy when you are in a call with a system that does not support Dual Video Stream. Use Snapshot to show a snapshot of your presentation and continue the meeting with main camera.
The following should be observed:
This system can send snapshots in a point-to -point video
meeting only, sending snapshots in MultiSite meetings is not supported.
When displaying a snapshot, it will always be the latest
snapshot taken that is displayed, regardless of which end (near or far) it was that took it.
Any snapshot taken is deleted once the call is terminated.
The Snapshot feature uses H.261 Annex D. Consequently
it will fail to work when using H.264 video compression.

Taking a Snapshot Using the Remote Control

In a point-to-point call press the Snapshot key on the
Remote Control.
Note! If the Number Key Settings menu has been set to Touch Tones, pressing the Snapshot key will not be inter-
preted as snapshot, but as a touch tone.
The Number Key Settings must be set to something else to make the Snapshot key work. This is done in the Control Panel of your system. Your system adminstrator may have password protected this area.
Note! Likewise, this will not work when you are in an input
field requiring numerical or alphanumerical entries. The * will then be interpreted as *.

Gaining Access to the Far End Video Sources

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE

About Far End Video Sources

In point-to-point video meetings your system may be con­nected to a system with several inputs for various video sources. You may get access to these by means of the Far End Video controls.
Obser ve that your system can access the inputs only. The far end may have connected other sources to the inputs than the input names normally should suggest.
When the far end system is a TANDBERG system both parties will be notified when one par ty tries to access one of the video sources of the other par ty. This may or may not take place with systems from other vendors also.
A text will be displayed for some seconds at the top of both par ties’ screen indicating the input source accessed. Example: PC.
If you display the other par ty in full screen this will be the only indication you get when the other party is accessing one of your video sources.
If you set the screen to display both par ties you will see what the other party sees, since both incoming and out going video are displayed on your screen.

Far End Video Options

As an example let us assume that your system is connected in a point-to-point video call to a large TANDBERG video system with

MultiSite Features

We recommend that you check out the TANDBERG web site regularly for updated versions of this manual:
http://ww w.tandberg.net/support/ documentation.php
The TANDBERG 1700 MXP can handle up to 4 IP video calls and 3 IP telephone calls simultaneously. To be able to do this, the 1700 MXP has a built-in MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) called MultiSite. This feature turns your TANDBERG 1700 MXP into a true video conferencing system. This part of the User Guide outlines features specific to video conferencing.
MultiSite Features

Video Meetings with Several Participants – an Overview

About MCU and MultiSite

The TANDBERG 1700 MXP can handle up to 4 IP video calls and 3 IP telephone calls simultaneously. To be able to do this, the 1700 MXP has a built-in MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) called MultiSite. The MultiSite supports both Split Screen and Voice Switched mode – see below.
You may set up a video meeting with the participants in advance and/or you may add participants during a conference. More about this can be found in MultiSite Conferences – Adding
Calls.
You may also have your system connected to an external MCU to participate in video meetings with a multitude of partici­pants. Contact your system administrator or your TANDBERG representative for details.

Who Becomes the Host?

The host of a MultiSite video meeting is the endpoint to which all the others are connected.
If two systems both supporting MultiSite both have established a MultiSite call and one of these call the other, cascading will take place. This means that you may have more par ticipants in total than a single system supports. In this case, the host will be the one calling the other.
Example of a MultiSite conference with 4 video calls and 3 telephone calls. The host is shown in colour.

Access Codes are handy for group systems where there are more users or divisions that share the costs of using the system. Access Code can be set to On and Off. More on Access codes overleaf.
On When making a call, an Access Code dialogue box
will be shown. The user must enter the correct password in order to put the call through.
Off No password is necessar y to make a call.
INCOMING MCU CALLS
On When you are in a call, the system will provide visual
and audible indications of additional incoming calls and ask you to accept/reject the call.
Off The system will not accept incoming calls when
you are in a call.
INCOMING TELEPHONE CALL S
On The system will accept incoming telephone calls.
Off The system will not accept incoming telephone
calls. This may be used to prevent incoming calls from systems other than videoconferencing sys ­tems.
FAR END CAMERA CONTROL
On The far end will be able to:
Select your video sources
Request snapshots
Off The far end can access none of the four features
above on the local system. You will however still be able to control the camera on the far end.
MAXIMUM CALL LENGTH (minutes)
This feature will automatically end both incoming and outgoing calls when the call time exceeds the speci ­fied Maximum Call Length. Maximum Call Length can have the following values: 0 –999 (minutes), where 0 means OFF.

About Access Code Applications

As an administrator you may set up the system to request codes to be entered before a call can be made. These codes are referred to as Access Codes and can be used to define the types of calls made (internal/external/to an invoicable client etc.).
In this way you may gather call statistics, which in turn can be used for analysis, to bill external clients, or to bill differ­ent groups of users within your company.
Access codes may be made compulsory and restricted in the sense that only a certain set of valid access codes is available.
A valid code must then be entered before a call can be made.
Alternatively, access codes may be made compulsor y, but without restriction. You will then still be prompted to key in an access code. No call can be made without access code entered even here, but in this case you may – literally speaking – key in any code you want.
Kindly observe that restricting the access codes to a limited set of valid codes is by no means a prerequisite for billing.
Consider the following: Your system may have been con­figured to work in a setup involving a TMS (TANDBERG Man­agement Suite) system. As default, your system then trans ­mits call information to TMS. This information includes any access codes applied to the calls. Hence, the TMS system may always utilize any access code information available, for statistics and for billing.
To make access codes compulsor y, set Access Codes to
On in the menu. To restrict the valid code space to a cer-
tain set of predefined codes, an access code text file must be uploaded to your local video system – see side bars to the right.
If no such file exists in the system and Access Codes still is set to On, the system will prompt you to key in an access code, but any code will do. No call can be made without an access code being keyed in.
To skip the whole thing, set Acces s Codes to Off. No prompt for code entry will then be produced by the video system.

Defining and Uploading Access Codes

For systems with Access Codes set to On, you – as a user – will be asked to enter a code, other wise you won’t be able to make a call.
Your video system will check if the entered access code is valid by compar­ing the code with the allowed codes listed in the access.txt file located on the ftp-ser ver in your local video system.
If no access.txt file has been uploaded to the Codec of your local video system, the code entered will be registered, but no validation will take place. E.g. you can enter whatever code you want and still have access to the system. Note, however, that you must enter a code whenever Access
Codes has been set to On in the video system.
The access.txt file is a plain text file with one line per access code.
As an example of an access.txt file, consider the following:
1234
1250
A1
B2
ABC
Maximum length of each access code is 16 characters, and you can have as many access codes as you want. You may use any combination of the alphanumeric characters available by means of your TANDBERG Remote Control, including the space character.
To upload access codes to the system, follow these steps:
On your PC create the file to be used as a list of valid access codes and save it as access.txt
Make sure your PC and your video system can communicate via IP
Open a DOS-window and go to the folder where the access.txt file is located
Type ftp <IP-address of your local video system>. To locate the IP address of your system, press the OK/Menu key on your TANDBERG Remote Control
When system prompts for User: press Enter or key in the IP-password of your video system
Type bin and press Enter
Go to the user folder, type cd user
Upload the access.txt file, type put access.txt
Exit from ftp, type bye

Access Codes Activated – How It Looks

Whenever the Access Codes feature has been set to On, you will be prompted to enter a code when starting a call.
The following dialogue box appears on the screen:
The remote control keypad will be in ABC mode.
Key in the code and press OK. Then dial your number.
Tip! Access Codes can be set and control-
led from TMS as well! If you run a TAND ­BERG Management Suite, you will be able to control and maintain access codes from within the Management Suite.

AAC-LD 128 KBPS (STEREO AUDIO)
Specify a call rate for 128 kbps AAC-LD. From this call rate and above, “128 kbps AAC-LD” is available. On lower call rates “64kbps AAC- LD” is available.
Stereo audio requires twice the bandwidth as mono CD­quality audio. We therefore recommend to enable stereo audio on high call rates only. To enable stereo CD -qual­ity audio you need to specify a call rate for when stereo automatically should be enabled. On lower call rates, mono CD- quality audio “64kbps AAC -LD” will be enabled. Stereo audio can be received and listened to from e.g. a VCR or DVD. However, only when the microphone has been set to Off.

About Intelligent Video Management (IVM) on TANDBERG Systems

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE

Intelligent Video Management (IVM)

You may configure the picture sent from your TANDBERG sys­tem depending upon specific requirements and applications adding an additional level of flexibility and adaptabilit y.
Generally, the IVM will always try to transmit the format clos­est to the video input format. Each video input can be config­ured to either motion or sharpness:

Motion

When there is a need for higher frame rates, typically when a large number of participants are present or when there is a lot of motion in the picture.
At low bit rate:
CIF will be used from a PAL video input
SIF from NTSC
w288p from wide format (HD720p) input
VGA/SVGA/XGA from PC, Digital Clarity.
At high bit rate:
448p will be used from a PAL video input if Natural Video is
Off or Auto or if Natural Video is x kbps and the bit rate is
lower than x kbps
400p from NTSC if Natural Video is Off or Auto or if Natural
Video is x kbps and the bit rate is lower than x kbps
iCIF will be used from a PAL video input, if Natural Video is
x kbps and the bit rate is higher than or equal to x kbps
iSIF from NTSC, if Natural Video is x kbps and the bit rate is
higher than or equal to x kbps
w448p will be used from a wide format (HD720p) input
VGA/SVGA/XGA from PC, Digital Clarity.

IVM Resolution

The below table shows the relationship between Transmission modes selected by the system when Motion or Sharpness is set in the Call Quality menu. IVM will use this table to optimize the Video quality, according to the capabilities of the remote system(s):

Level Settings

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE
Level Settings lets you set each max level independently. The volume control (on the remote control) acts as an at tenuator with which you then may adjust the volume without the risk of causing damage to the transducers.
Note! When you use the volume control, it may look like you are
able set the volume higher than the level specified here (gain, and not just attenuation). However, a limiter is used to ensure that low levels are amplified, while high and potentially damaging levels will be limited so that the maximum level as specified here will not be exceeded. A compression will thus occur at higher levels.
A volume setting potentially employing the limiter will be indicated by the volume bar changing colour to yellow and red.
Back. Takes you
one level back up.
Tip! Since the unit has built- in micro-
phones and loudspeakers, level set­tings apply to Line level inputs and the headset loudspeakers / microphone only.
