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:

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.

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.

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 sys-
•
tem 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
•

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 that corresponds to the required letter.
•
Press the key as many times as needed to access the
•
correct letter.
Change to lower or back to upper case let ters 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.

Call Handling
We recommend that you check out the
TANDBERG web site regularly for updated
versions of this manual:
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
theSecurity 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
Making Calls when Prompted for an Access Code
When prompted for an Access Code,
enter the code using the Numerical
keypad, which now will be set to ABC
mode automatically.
Proceed with your calling as
described throughout this section of

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 224.0.0.1–239.255. 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

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.
Press the Phone Book icon to enter the
Phone Book.
Press OK to produce the submenu.
The cursor will now be positioned at the
name field allowing you to enter a name
for the group.
Navigate to a participant to be included
in the MultiSite Contact. Press OK to

Video Meeting Features
We recommend that you check out the
TANDBERG web site regularly for updated
versions of this manual:
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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

ACCESS CODE
An access code will help you control the use of the system. All users must enter a code to identify themselves
when making a call and the call may then be charged
on their account. 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.

TANDBERG 1700 MXP
USER GUIDE
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.

automatically change to Main Camera. Once you receive a call,
the system will also automatically change to Main Camera,
preventing the caller from seeing your PC image.

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.
