Our factories employ the most efficient environmental methods for reducing waste and pollution and ensuring the products are recyclable.

Digital User Manuals

TANDBERG is pleased to announce that it has replaced the printed versions of its User Manuals 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 webbased search feature helps users directly access the information they need. In addition, the TANDBERG video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a range of useful features and tips. If desired, the user manuals on the CD can still be printed locally.

1.1 At a Glance

Introduction

Camera

The built-in camera includes a high quality color camera with a fast pan/tilt/zoom action. The camera is controlled by the system's infrared remote control and operates pan/tilt and zoom.

Codec The codec is the heart of the system. Its main task is the compression of outgoing video, audio

and data, the transmission of this information to the far end and the decompression of the incoming information - the name codec comes from a combination of the two words compression and decompression.

Remote Control

The remote control is used to control all functions of the system. If the screen saver is activated (black monitor), touching the remote control will automatically wake up the system. The remote control uses 4 AAA batteries. The system will tell you when batteries are running low. Change the batteries at the back of the remote control.

The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters. For users sitting in an open plan office, this can cause problems. Use the little, white switch placed under the batteries to change the reach of the signal from 20 meters to 2 meters. This will prevent you from unintentionally controlling another video system, when you control your own system.

D1372102_T550_MXP_User_Manual

Microphone

The high quality table microphone is designed to be placed on a table during a videoconference. The ideal location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the system. The microphone cable should always point towards the system. The system will automatically equalize sound levels. Loud and soft voices are picked up and transmitted to the far end at approximately the same level.

1.2 Menu Structure

Introduction

The menu structure is divided in two. The Main Menu is available for all users and contains all functionality of the system. The Administrator Menu contains all the settings of the system. The Administrator Settings are accessible from the Main Menu by selecting Control Panel and Administrator Settings. Making changes to the Administrator Settings will change the behavior of the system. The menu structure for Main Menu and Administrator Settings is shown below.

D1372102_T550_MXP_User_Manual

2 Installation

Precautions:

 Never install communication wiring during a lightning storm.  Never install jacks for communication cables in wet locations unless the jack is

specifically designed for wet locations.

 Never touch uninstalled communication wires or terminals unless the telephone line has

been disconnected at the network interface.

 Use caution when installing or modifying communication lines.  Avoid using communication equipment (other than a cordless type) during an electrical

storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.

 Do not use the communication equipment to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.  Always connect the product to an earthed socket outlet.  The socket outlet shall be installed near to the equipment and shall be easily accessible.  Never install cables without first switching the power OFF.  1TR6 network type is not approved for connection directly to the telecommunications

network. This network type is only to be used behind a PABX.
