feature is only applicable to HD (high denition) calls.
If set to Auto and in a HD call: the resolution will differ between
the bandwidths 720p, 576p and 448p, dependent on how much
motion it is in the picture. The call will start with 720p and
change to a lower resolution when there is a lot motion. It will go
back to 720p with less motion.
If set to Off: Disables the Dynamic Resolution feature (the
default setting).

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 impor tant 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, CO•
emissions, and traf fic congestion

European Environmental Directives
As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment TAND BERG 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 necessar y 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.com/recycling
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 con tents of the CD can still be printed locally, whenever needed.

Tip! Audio signal levels
expressed in volts and dBu
can be found overleaf.
Use Audio Input No. 3 to
connect to external playback
devices. This input can also
be congured as a microphone
NoTe! Audio inputs 3 &
4 are referred to as Line
input 1 & 2 in the API.
Tip! Unused, but connected
input. It will then function in
lieu of the Mic. 2 input and be
connected to Mic. 2’s echo
canceller (which can be turned
on/off).
audio inputs should be set
to Off to avoid unwanted
audio/noise.
Use Audio Output No. 1 to provide a mixed
signal of audio from far end and local
external devices connected to input 3 & 4 in
addition to dial tones.
This output should be connected to the local
loudspeaker system, which may, or may not,
include the TANDBERG Digital Natural Audio
Module.
For systems congured with stereo
speakers and SPDIF† active, the left and
right channel of the loudspeaker signal will
both be provided on this output.
For systems congured with stereo
speakers and SPDIF† not active, the
left channel of the loudspeaker signal
will be present on this output. The right
loudspeaker channel will be provided on
Audio Output No. 2.

Use Audio Input No. 4 to
connect a VCR or DVD player
to the system. For systems
congured with stereo I/O,
connect the VCR/DVD right
channel to this input. This
input should be used when
connecting a telephone add-on
system.
Use Audio Output No. 2 (the VCR output) to
provide a mixed signal consisting of audio
from the local side (VCR not included) and
audio from the far end.
This output should be used when connecting a
telephone add-on system.
For system congured with stereo I/O and
with SPDIF† active on Audio Output No. 1, this
output will provide the VCR left channel stereo
information.
For systems congured with stereo I/O, stereo
speakers and SPDIF† not active, this output
will provide the right channel of the loudspeaker signal (the left channel will be provided on
the Audio Output No. 1).
†
SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface)
is used by the Digital Natural Audio module.
Tip! Audio Input No. 4 is not
equipped with an acoustic
echo canceller. Connecting a

About the TANDBERG API
We recommend that you check out the
TANDBERG web site regularly for updated
versions of this manual:
The heart of the API is the TANDBERG API-Engine. This is
where all information is stored and processed. The APIengine can be accessed by an easy-to-use Command Line
Interface called XACLI using RS 232 or Telnet, or by the
TANDBERG XML API Ser vice (TXAS) over HTTP/HTTPS.
Both alternatives are described in detail in this section of
the User Guide.
About the TANDBERG API
Introduction
REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
TANDBERG 3000 MXP & 6000 MXP
Basic Principles
The hear t of the API is the TANDBERG
API-Engine. This is where all information is
stored and processed. The API-engine can
be accessed by an easy-to -use Command
Line Interface called XACLI using RS 232
or Telnet, or by the TANDBERG XML API
Service (TXAS) over HTTP/HTTPS.
XACLITXAS
R S 2 3 2
Telnet
API-Engine
Working with the API- engine is very similar
to working with catalogues and files on a
computer. All information is stored in a hierarchic tree structure which is accessible
from dif ferent interfaces.
When accessing the API-engine using
XACLI (RS 232 or Telnet), the information
is formatted in a proprietary Command Line
style or in XML formatting.
When accessing the API-engine using the
TXAS interface (HTTP/HTTPS), XML/SOAP
format ting is supported.
This is similar to viewing f iles on a computer; accessing catalogues on a Windows
computer using the Command Prompt
gives a dif ferent view than using Windows
Explorer, but the information is the same.
NOTE!New features on the TANDBERG
MXP will be supported on XACLI only.

The TANDBERG API Engine
The TANDBERG API-Engine is optimized for easy, yet advanced, machine-
machine interaction between a TANDBERG system and an external control
application.
The main features can be summarized to:
Structuring of information•
Addressing using XPath (XML Path Language) or TANDBERG SimplePath•
Feedback •
Structuring of Information
An application programming interface (API) can be seen as a gate where information is exchanged between two systems – a control application and a target
system.
The control application transmits instructions to the target system, while the
target system supplies information about how these instructions are executed,
in addition to other system related information.
Consequently, the exchange of information can be divided into:
Information flowing 1. from target. This we call READ information (R). The (R)
should not be confused with the (r) used to indicate required parameters in
the Commands tables.
Information flowing 2. to target. This we call WRITE information (W).
If we now look at the TANDBERG systems we can identify three main types of
information
(R) READ information. This is Status Information about the system and system
processes, i.e. information generated by the system.
Typical examples include: status about ongoing calls, network status, conference status etc.
All status information is structured in a hierarchy, making up a database constantly being updated by the system to reflect process changes.
(W) WRITE information. This is Command Information the user/control applica-
tion supply to initiate an action.
Typical examples include: instructing the system to place a call, assigning floor
to a specific site, disconnecting a call etc.
A command is usually followed by a set of parameters to specify how the given
action is to be executed.
(RW) READ -WRITE information. This is Configuration Information defining sys-
tem settings. This information can both be supplied and read by the user/control application. Typical examples include: default call rate, baud rate of a serial
port, enabling/disabling of various features etc.
All configuration information is structured in a hierarchy making up a database
of system settings. But for the Configuration information, the data in the database can only be updated by the user/control application.
Addressing Using XPath or TANDBERG SimplePath
To address information in the hierarchic structure of Status and Configuration
information, the TANDBERG systems support abbreviated XML Path Language
(XPath) and a proprietar y notation called TANDBERG SimplePath (only available
using XACLI).
This allows the user/control application to address everything from a single
element of data (for example the call rate of a specific call) to larger parts of the
hierarchy (for example all information available for a given call).
Feedback
Feedback is an extremely powerful feature where the TANDBERG system
actively returns updated status and configuration information to the user/
control application whenever changes occur.
The user/control application can specify what par ts of the status and configuration hierarchies it wants to monitor by using XPath. The user/control application
can thereby limit the amount of information it receives from the target system to
only those parts being of interest for the given application. This will also reduce
the load on the link connecting the systems.
Feedback is supported on both X ACLI (RS232/Telnet) and TXAS (HTTP/
HTTPS) simultaneously.
The system uses TANDBERG SimplePath when presenting configurations.
XPath and TANDBERG SimplePathare described more thoroughly later in this
section of the manual.
The structuring of information together with XPath and TANDBERG SimplePath
for addressing, makes up powerful features like searchability and setting of
multiple instances of a configuration.
Examples are provided overleaf.

What Happened to the RS 232/Telnet Dataport
Interface Supported on the Classic Systems?
The TANDBERG MXP also supports the RS 232/Telnet Datapor t Inter face that was suppor ted on the Classic systems.
You may use any mixture of Classic Dataport commands and
XACLI commands on the same RS232/Telnet session. A
multitude of the commands overlaps, but XACLI offers more
flexibillity and gives access to the latest features supported
by the system.
We recommend the use of XACLI commands whenever
you write new control system modules and whenever you add
new features into existing control modules, but there is no
need to to rewrite already existing control modules based on
Classic commands.
The XACLI API is described in detail in this section of the User
Guide. The Classic Dataport Interface is described in the
TANDBERG 770-8000MXP API (Dataport User Guide), which is
available separately.
NOTE! New features on the TANDBERG MXP will be sup -
ported on XACLI only.
EXAMPLE: To configure the baudrate of serial port 1 to

XACLI
REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
TANDBERG 3000 MXP & 6000 MXP
Accessing XACLI
XACLI can be accessed through Telnet via the L AN interface
or through RS 232 by connecting a serial cable to the serial
interface connector, referred to as the Dataport. Eight Telnet
sessions can be connected to the TANDBERG MXP simultaneously, in addition to the RS 232 connection.
Connecting to XACLI using the Dataport (RS 232)
The RS 232 port is a 9 -pin, female, D -sub connector located
on the back of the TANDBERG MXP. The por t is configured
as a DCE (Data Communications Equipment). The RS 232
port is default set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, none parity
and 1 stop bit from factory. The RS 232 port is also referred
to as the DATA POR T.
The RS 232 Datapor t on the 6000 MXP Codec
The RS 232 Datapor t on the 3000 M X P Codec
See also the pages on the 3000 MXP Dataports and the
6000 MXP Dataports in this User Guide. Note that one of
the RS 232 ports of the 6000 MXP Codec (the lower) is used
as a camera control socket.
Hardware & Cabling (RS 232)
The pin outs for the RS 232 are defined in the tables to the
right. Observe that the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), could
be a PC or any other device capable of serial communication.
NOTE! A straight-through cable should be used between the
TANDBERG MXP’s RS 232 port and the DTE.
The lower table shows the recommended cable-wiring
scheme when connecting the TANDBERG MXP to a PC
through RS 232.
DTR and RTS are ignored. DSR, CD, and CTS are always asserted, while RI is not used.
Troubleshooting (RS 232)
If communication cannot be established between the PC/
terminal and the TANDBERG MXP’s Datapor t, the following
should be checked:
Verify that the serial cable is a straight-through 9-pin to •
9-pin cable
Confirm that the configuration of the PC/terminal’s •
serial RS 232 port is identical to the configuration of the
TANDBERG MXP RS 232 port.
Verify that the PC/terminal’s serial RS 232 port is working •
properly by connecting it back-to- back to another PC/
terminal and send characters in both directions.

XACLI – Main Types of Commands
REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
TANDBERG 3000 MXP & 6000 MXP
About Main Types of Commands
The XACLI is divided into three main t ypes
of commands (and a four th – see below),
reflecting the information types supported
by the TANDBERG API Engine.
The main types are:
Configuration-type commands•
Status -type commands•
Command-t ype commands•
In addition to the above sets of commands,
XACLI suppor ts the following set of special
commands:
Configuration Type CommandsCommand Type Commands
Commands defining system settings.
Configuration-type commands are either
supplied or read by the user. E.g. default
callrate, baudrate of a serial port, enabling/disabling of various features etc.
All Configurations are structured in a
hierarchy making up a database of system
settings.
Suppor ted Configuration -type commands:
xConfiguratio•n
xDirector•y
Commands returning information about
the system and system processes, i.e.
information generated by the system. E.g.
status about ongoing calls, network status,
conference status etc. All status information is structured in a hierarchy, making up
a database constantly being updated by
the system to reflect system and process
changes.
Suppor ted Status-type commands:
Status Type Commands
Commands instructing the system to perform an action. E.g. instructing the system
to place a call, assigning floor to a specific
site, disconnecting a call etc. A command
is usually followed by a set of parameters
to specify how the given action is to be
executed.
Suppor ted Command -type commands:
xComman•d
xStatu•s
xHistor•y
xEven•t
Special Commands
xfeedback is a command used to specify
what par ts of the configuration and status
hierarchies to monitor. Feedback will only
be issued on the RS 232/Telnet for which it
is specif ied. If connecting to the TANDBERG
MXP with multiple RS 232/Telnet sessions,
each session can define feedback individuall y.
More on this can be found in xfeedback.
xpreferences is used to set various prefer-
ences for the RS 232/Telnet sessions. Each
session can define preferences individually.
IMPORTANT! This command has various
settings to define the formatting of the X ACLI
output. It is therefore important to define settings to match the parser used on the control
system. X ACLI is designed to make parsing of
data from the TANDBERG MXP very simple.
More on this can be found in xpreferences.
xget xml gives access to the exact same
information as the Main types of commands
(xstatus, xhistory, xconfiguration etc.), but
returns the information XML formatted.
More on this can be found in xget xml.

REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
TANDBERG 3000 MXP & 6000 MXP
A command must start with the command-type command (xcommand), followed by a command name, followed
by a set of parameters. Parameters values are identified by specifying the parameter name followed by a ‘:’

XACLI – Status Type Commands
REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
TANDBERG 3000 MXP & 6000 MXP
About Status Type Commands
All Status information is organized in a
hierarchic tree structure.
To get an overview of accessible top level status elements within a statustype command, type ? or help af ter the
status-type commands (xstatus/xhistory/xevent).
Understanding Status
Information Structuring
All Status information is organized in a
hierarchic tree structure, ver y much like
files and folders on a computer. The
tree structure consists of containerelements (folders) and value elements
(files). Container-elements contains
sub- elements, while value elements
contain values. All elements have an
element name and an element item
number. There can exist multiple
instances of an element.
An element can also have various
attributes. At tributes are used to add
meta information to an element. The
sub-structure of a container-element may
vary depending on the attribute values.
The relationship between attribute values
of a given element and its underlying substructure can be read from the sections
documenting the various status elements.
E.g. a call that is disconnected does not
contain any data (except a disconnect
cause value), while an active call contains
information about bandwidths, protocols,
channels etc.
EXAMPLE
Defining Element names, Values, Attributes, and Item No.:
XACLI suppor ts three different formattings for status
information:
Default XACLI format ting, provides good human •
readability, compact format. However, a custom parser
must be used
Complete Path formatting. Recommended when parsing •
the information line by line.
XML formatting – to be used when using an XML-parser.•
Default XACLI Formatting
The root-element is prefixed with •*s (for status), *e (for
event), or *l (for history log)
Root-element end is designated by a •*s/e n d (*e/e n d
or *l/e n d respectively)
To write a parser for this format, the parser must keep •
track of the levels by counting white spaces. The indent
is increased by two whitespaces for each level. Unless
link throughput is an issue, we recommend the use
of Complete Path Formatting instead of Default XACLI
format ting when parsing information sent from the codec.
About the Examples Provided Here
From the example showing status for a disconnected call
(upper right), we can see that the call element now only
contains one element; the value- element Cause. The subelements that were present when the call was active (lower
right example) are no longer valid (i.e. it makes no sense to
ask for out going video resolution for a disconnected call).
XACLI – Status Type Commands – Addressing Status Information
REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
TANDBERG 3000 MXP & 6000 MXP
About Addressing Status Information
You address status information by supplying a status-type
command followed by an address-expression (XPath or
TANDBERG SimplePath):
<status-type command> <address expression>
See example 1 a) for an illustration.
If complete path is enabled for the RS 232/Telnet session
(xpreferences completepath on), it will look like
example 1 b).
As a second set of examples let us consider a situation
where the user wants to know Audio status for both incoming
and outgoing channels for Call 1. This is shown in examples
2 a) and 2 b).
EXAMPLE 1 a) Addressing status information, user wants to know callrate of call 1:
Exposure options should be used to limit the amount of information returned. By adding an
exposure option af ter the address expression (XPath or TANDBERG SimplePath), the system
can be instructed to return parts of the information within an element structure only.
The special command xfeedback lets the user
register user defined XPath expressions (with possible exposure options) to monitor changes in the
XML/XACLI data. Whenever there is a change in
one or more elements addressed by a registered
XPath expression, the par t of the element structure containing these changes will be returned.
The system suppor ts a total of 20 registered
expressions, with a total of 15 expressions for one
RS 232/Telnet session.
The xfeedback is a session specific command,
i.e. different RS 232/Telnet session can define
feedback individually.
This also implies that the feedback expressions
must be set each time the control application
connects to the codec, i.e. the control application
should always set the necessary feedback expressions when connecting to the system (or after
system reboot when using RS 232).
EXAMPLE
User wants to monitor all changes to the Call status elements, the Conference status element and
all Configurations:
xfeedback register status/call
OK
xfeedback register status/conference
OK
xfeedback register conguration
OK
EXAMPLE
To list the registered expression the sub-command list should
be used:
xfeedback list
Registered XPath feedback expressions:
*xf 1 status/call
*xf 2 status/conference
*xf 3 conguration
OK
EXAMPLE
User only wants to monitor call state changes. This can be done by adding the double hyphen exposure option (--), after the XPath
expression, status/call:
(note: deregistration with index=0 will deregister all registered expressions)
OK
EXAMPLE
User wants to deregister expression 2 in the left example:
xfeedback deregister 2
OK

NOTE! If sub-elements are removed from a status structure between transitions, the removed elements will be notified with an attribute
ghost=Tr ue when feedback is issued. This allows for an external control system to be completely synchronised with the codec.
EXAMPLE. This example shows status for a call that is beeing
disconnected. The user has registered a feedback expression to
monitor all call changes (xfeedback register status/call).
When the call is active the Call element contains a large sub -structure. When the call is disconnected this status tree collapses, i.e.
the only information availible for a disconnected call is a Cause
element. All sub-elements that are being removed in this transition
are marked with a ghost=True attribute when feedback is issued,
see below.
A command of great importance, xpreferences lets the
user/control application individually configure the Telnet/
RS 232 session in use. When parsing data sent from the co dec using a control system it is important to set preferences
to match the parser in use.
The xpreferences is a session specific command, i.e.
different RS 232/Telnet sessions can define preferences
individually. This also implies that the preferences must be
set each time the control application connects to the codec,
i.e. the control application should always set the necessary
preferences when connecting to the system (or af ter system
reboot when using RS 232).
Disables/enables the XPath search engine when issuing configurations. When the XPath search engine is disabled, the
user/control application must supply the complete path to
the configurations to be set (no “double slashes” allowed).
This will improve the performance of the system when issuing many consecutive configurations.
NOTE! It is always recommended to supply the complete
path for configurations to be set when issuing commands
from an external control application.
xpreferences xmlcommandresult
xpreferences xmlcommandresult <on/off>
If xmlcommandresult is set to on, response for commands
will be returned in XML-format.
Most information elements accessible by the status-type
commands are defined to be level 1 information. However
there are some information elements defined to be level 2
information. When reading status information, only the information elements with a detail level equal to or less than the
detaillevel defined for the interface will be listed.
The detaillevel is by default set to 1 when connecting to an
RS 232/Telnet session.
xpreferences xmlconfigfeedback
xpreferences xmlcongfeedback <on/off>
If xmlconfigfeedback is set to on, feedback on configurations will be returned in XML-format instead of the standard
XACLI configuration format.
If xmlstatusfeedback is set to on, all status feedback will be returned
in XML-format instead of the default XACLI status format (or complete path formatting).
All Status and Configuration elements consist of an element name and an
element item number. However, XACLI hides the item number for an element
if there only exist one item of the given element.
If xpreferences itemnumber is set to on, XACLI will display item numbers for
all elements. This is to make it easier to parse the information sent from
the codec. By set ting “xpreferences item number on”, the parser can
always expect an item number to follow an element name.
EXAMPLE: Reading configurations of Serial Port 1 with xpreferences item-
number is set to OFF:
xconguration serialport 1
*c xConguration SerialPort 1 BaudRate: 9600
*c xConguration SerialPort 1 Parity: None
*c xConguration SerialPort 1 DataBits: 8

XACLI – Special Commands – xgetxml
REFERENCE GUIDE FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
TANDBERG 3000 MXP & 6000 MXP
About xgetxml
As an alternative to the XACLI output format, XML format is
suppor ted through the root command xgetxml. The xgetxml
takes an XPath expression as parameter and the elements
(or complete document) matching the expression will be
returned.
TXAS is a service provided by TANDBERG units for transmitting and receiving (transceiving) information encoded in XML
format.
The API uses HTTP(S) as the transpor t mechanism and connects to the normal web por t (80). TXAS can be accessed
in two ways; bare- bone HTTP requests where URL’s uniquely
identifies the request, and SOAP where a single URI is used
but the request itself is encoded with XML.
Bare-bone HTTP(S) Access
The bare -bone HTTP mode uses a unique URL to identify the specific request. The contents of
the HTTP body will be a XML document (or part of it).
Bare-bone HTTP(S) access is accomplished by passing arguments in the quer y string (after
‘?’ in URL) in a GET request, or using the “application/x-www-form -urlencoded” content-type
method of POSTing form data (Each argument starts with a name ‘=’ and a value, and every
parameter separated with ‘&’ (and opt NL).)
getxml
REQUEST:
/getxml
PARAM:
location = XPath expression
/get x m l request returns an XML document based on the location parameter passed to the
request. The elements (or complete document) matching the expression will be returned.
On Incorrect XPath expression, a <Fault> element with a <XPathError> element will be returned.
formputxml
REQUEST:
/formputxml
PARAM:
xmldoc = “an XML document of Conguration, Directory or Command”
This is most useful in a POST (to extend character limit of 255 of GET urls). It posts a Configu ration or Command document to set the configurations or issue a command.
Like getxml, it has the data URL form-data encoded with one single parameter. The ContentType of the document must be of type “application/x-www-form-urlencoded” and the body must
be encoded accordingly (e.g. first line will be xmldoc=<then the document>).
putxml
REQUEST:
/putxml
PARAM:
HTTP BODY as argument
D 13887.08
MAY 2008
Putxml is like formputxml+, put uses the complete BODY as argument (i.e. the content of
the xmldoc parameter). The Content-type should be “te xt/x ml” or “ap plicatio n/xm l” (
or “text/plain”), though no check at the moment. (Except for application/x-ww w-form-url
encoded which will cause a failure).

Example: xconguration audio outputs line 2 mode: off
Type: <Analog/SPDIF/Auto>
NOTE! Applies to Line 1 only! This conguration is also referred to as Out 1 Mode.
If Out 1 Mode is set to Auto, the system will select analogue or digital (SPDIF) mode depending on the detected Audio Module. If
a TANDBERG Digital NAM is detected, SPDIF mode will be selected, otherwise analogue mode will be selected.
Setting the Out 1 Mode to either Analogue or SPDIF will override the auto-detected mode.
Example: xconguration audio outputs line 1 type: SPDIF
AudioLocalDetectionMode: <On/Off>
The Local Detection is a feature to detect possible eavesdropping activity. If such activity is detected it will be stopped. The system will disconnect
the ongoing call and start an alarm / warning signal on the internal aler t speaker on the codec. This will prevent audio and video to be sent from a
TANDBERG system without the user noticing.
Local Detection is based on a detection of an acoustical connection between the loudspeaker system and the microphone(s). If there is no such connec-
tion, and the loudspeaker is disconnected or switched off, it may indicate that the system is congured with the intention of listening into a condential
conversation/meeting without the meeting participants noticing.
Example: xconguration audio localdetection mode: On
This conguration alters how fast the audio feedback will react. Set to Normal to allow for some distortion before the feedback response. When set to
Fast, the audio feedback response will be faster but also more nervous.
Example: xconguration audio feedback mode: normal

Camera [1..13]Mirror: <Off/On>
Turns mirror mode on/off. Not applicable to TANDBERG WAVE I cameras.
Auto is the default and the recommended setting. However, in severe light conditions, you may switch mode to
manual and specify explicitly which gamma table to use by setting the level. Applies to TANDBERG Precision HD
cameras only.
Example: xConguration camera 1 gamma mode: auto
Camera [1..13]GammaLevel: <0..7>
Selects which gamma correction table to use. This setting may be useful in difcult lighting conditions, where
changes to the the brightness setting does not provide satisfactory results. Applies to TANDBERG Precision HD
cameras only.
Example: xConguration camera 1 gamma level: 5
Camera [1..13]IR: <Off/On>
Default is On for camera 1 and 8. Default is Off for cameras 2 - 7 and 9 - 13.
Enables or disables the IR receiver of the camera. Only supported on WAVE, WAVE II and Precision HD cameras
Example: xConguration camera 1 ir: on
CameraDVIMode: <On/Off/Auto>
Lets you control cameras connected to the PC Input.
The Auto mode, which is the default, will detect if you connect two PrecisionHD cameras, where one is rst and the other is last in the chain. If that’s the case, control of the 2nd
PrecisionHD camera is automatic when the PC Input is selected.
If you have any other type of camera with a VGA/DVI/HDMI output, you must put it last in the chain, and manually turn this conguration On. When you select the PC Input, you
will gain control of the last camera. This conguration may be useful when using the VGA output on a Sony BRC-H700 camera.
Important: If you set this conguration to on with a single PrecisionHD camera connected, the system will assume that it is connected to the PC Input and avoid
conguring the THSI interface. This may or may not be what you intended.
When set to Off the system assumes all cameras are connected to the normal video inputs, and/or THSI. May be useful if you connect a 2nd PrecisionHD camera to the codec
via an HDMI to s-video/composite converter.
See the comment about camera
ranges on the previous page.
Important: Changing any of these options may require a hard boot of connected PrecisionHD cameras and a soft boot of the codec. If you experience problems, like
no video or get the message “unsupported video format”, make sure that all connected PrecisionHD cameras are turned off, reboot the codec, and turn cameras
back on.
Example: xConguration cameradvi mode: auto
CameraSleepMode: <On/Off>
If turned On, the main camera will go into sleep position (maximum right panning) when screensaver is activated.
In addition, video source 1 (maincam) will be selected (if not allready active).
If set to Auto the Camera software will be automatically upgraded by the codec. If set to Off, camera software upgrade must be initiated manually by the command CameraForceUpgrade.
NOTE! If codec software is downgraded the camera software must be downgraded manually by the command CameraForceUpgrade. Applies to TANDBERG Precision HD camera only!

CameraTrackingSpeed: <Slow/Normal/Fast>
Sets the camera tracking speed. Camera tracking is enabled/disabled by the commands CameraTrackingStart and CameraTrackingStop.
Example: xconguration cameratracking speed: normal
A restricted call uses 56kbps channels rather than the default unrestricted 64kbps channels. Some older networks
(primarily in the USA) do not support 64kbps channels and require the use of restricted 56kbps calls. By default, the
system will dial an unrestricted call and downspeed to 56kbps if necessary.
To force a restricted call, choose Restrict (56k) On.
Example: xconguration conference defaultcall restrict: off
ConferenceDefaultCallNetProle: <1..7>
Selects default NetProle. Please refer to the NetProle conguration for further details on the supported NetProles.
The DefaultCall settings specify
call properties to use if proper-
ties are not specied directly
when placing the call.
The aliases dene the telephone
numbers for the unit, i.e. numbers to call to reach the unit.
The system can register both an
E164 alias, which can only contain digits (including *, #) and
an ID, which can also contain
letters.
ConferencePeriodicIntra: <0..1000>
Use this setting to generate a new intra frame with a congurable interval. Use this setting with caution since it in a normal network will decrease the video quality. The default value is set to 0 which means off. If you congure it to 10 it will send an intra every 10th second.
If set to Off and the system is transmitting mono, the system will not use AAC-LD-128 even though the call rate is above the AAC-LD-128 Threshold.
Example: xconguration conference aac-ld-128-mono: off
Enabling Natural Video will enable 60 (50 on PAL) elds per second true interlaced picture for high motion video. The use of Natural Video requires that H.263+ or H.263++ video
protocols are being used. Natural video will be disabled in H.323 MultiSite calls and in H.320 Continuous Presence MultiSite calls.
When set to Off, Natural Video will be disabled for both transmit and receive.
When set to Auto, the system will enable transmission of Natural Video from 768 kbps and above. Reception of Natural Video is in this case always enabled. However, when set
to Auto the unit will still prioritize the 448p and w448p format over Natural Video. Natural Video can also be congured to be enabled for callrates above a specied threshold
value.
This will enable NaturalVideo for callrate 768 kbps and above
Sets the picture layout to be used in a MultiSite conference. If set to Auto the system will change the picture layout depending on the number of participants in the conference.
Example: xconguration conference picturemode: auto
Sets the video quality to be used in continuous presence mode (4Split/5+1Split).
If PictureMode is set to 5+1Split, and one of the participants in a MultiSite conference is granted oor this setting determines whether to display the participant having oor in full
screen or just in the main window of the 5+1Split.
Example: xconguration conference oortofull: on
ConferenceMaxCallLength: <0..999>
Sets the maximum allowed call length in minutes (0 = Disabled).
If set to On, the system will try to establish a telephone call if a video telephone call failed to connect.
Example: xconguration conference fallbacktotelephony: on
If set to On, the system will not allow unencrypted calls.
If set to Auto, the system will use encryption whenever possible.
If set to Off, encryption will not be used.
Example: xconguration conference encryption mode: auto
Denes the encryption algorithm to use.
If set to Auto, the system will try to use the most secure encryption - AES, dependent on the capabilities of the other sites. For sites that do not support
AES encryption, DES encryption will be tried.
If set to AES-128, the system will try to use AES with 128 bits encryption when setting up calls. If AES is not supported by the other site(s), no other type
of encryption will be initiated.
If set to DES, the system will always try to set up the call using DES with 56 bits encryption on ISDN and IP. If all other sites do not suppor t DES, no other
type of encryption will be initiated.

This conguration is only relevant when when placing calls using the TANDBERG remote control and the on screen menu. If set to on, all users must enter a code to identify
themselves before dialling. The billing code will be attached to the call when the call is placed in the call log after it is disconnected. When placing calls using the command Dial,
a billing code can be added to identify the call in the call log regardless of this setting.
When setting up an ip call the bandwidth can be controlled by the user. The IPDualstreamRate is expressed in percent of the Call Rate and shall reect the IP Dualstream Rate
settings of the sender. The settings are 25%, 50% and 75% of the total available video stream.
Analogue telephone lines, speaker phones and telephone headsets may all cause echoes. The FarTlphEchoSupression function eliminates some – or all – of the experienced
echo. Weak echoes are removed with the Normal setting enabled and strong echoes are removed with the High setting enabled.
Example: xconguration conference FarTlphEchoSupression: Normal
In MultiSite calls you can display the names of the participants on screen. By setting the Video Text Time-out setting, the system is congured to display the names for a period
of time or as long as you are connected.
Example: xconguration conference videotext: on
Sets the timer for the On-screen name of participants in MultiSite calls. Set the timer to display the names for a period of time or as long as you are connected. Requires the
VideoText setting to be enabled.
Example: xconguration conference videotext: 0
Enables/disables use of a CorporateDirectory stored on a remote ser ver.
Example: xconguration corporatedirectory mode: on
Species the address to the server where the CorporateDirector y is located.
Denes which video input to be used as the default Dual Stream source. NOTE! 0 means None
Example: xconguration duovideosource: 1
DynamicResolutionMode: <On/Off>
E1InterfaceCRC4: <On/Off>
Enable/disable Call Logs for Placed calls, Missed calls and Received calls in the Phone Book.
Example: xconguration directory calllog: on
When DoNotDisturb Mode is set to On, the codec will not alert the user to incoming calls. The calling side will receive a busy signal when trying to call the codec. DoNotDisturb
will be turned off if the codec receives any IR signal from the handheld remote control.
Example: xconguration donotdisturb mode: off
Sets the codec’s monitor mode. It allows the user to set up the codec so it can utilize two displays.
Example: xconguration dualmonitor mode: on
With Dynamic Resolution the system will use the optimal video resolution for the chosen bandwidth. This feature is only applicable to HD (high denition) calls.
If set to Auto and in a HD call: the resolution will differ between the bandwidths 720p, 576p and 448p, dependent on how much motion it is in the picture. The call will start with
720p and change to a lower resolution when there is a lot motion. It will go back to 720p with less motion.
If set to Off: Disables the Dynamic Resolution feature (the default setting).
Example: xconguration dynamicresolution mode: off
E1 CRC-4 is used for most E1-PRI congurations. You can turn it off if not supported by the E1 network equipment.
If an External Manager address and a path is configured, the system will post an HTTP message to this
address when starting up. When receiving this HT TP
posting the Ex ternal Manager (typically a management
system) can return configurations/commands to the
unit as a result.
If the DHCP Option 242 is returned in the DHCP response from the DHCP ser ver the system will interpret
this as the E xternal Manager address to use.
Dual: (RS449/V35 Compatible) Use this setting when the external equipment provides t wo clock signals, one for transmit and one for receive. (The difference between
RS449 and V35 lies solely in the cable).
Single: (X21 Compatible) Use this setting when the external equipment provides a common clock signal for both transmit and receive.
RS366: This is the only dialling protocol supported and would normally be used together with Dual network clocking when the external equipment uses RS366 ports.
RS366AdtranIMUX: This setting offers extra usability when dialing RS366 via an ADTRAN IMUX. This dialling scheme will map the call type and bandwidth selection to ADTRAN
IMUX specic sufxes to the dialled number. Should only be used when connected to an ADTRAN IMUX.
The Adtran IMUX uses the following sufxes <Number>#C#R
#C = Call Type #2 = audio #3 = 56kbps #4 = 64kbps #R = Channel Rate #0 = 2xh221 (2x56\64kbps) #1 to 8 = the Call Rate.
RS366CustomIMUX: Uses a custom prex/sufx table which describes the available bandwidths. The prexes/sufxes are set from the Web Interface or Command Line inter-
face. The user (administrator) shall be able to specify a IMUX prex/sufx table for the following bandwidths (kbps): 64, 64 Restrict, 128, 128 Restrict, 192, 192 Restrict, 256,
LeasedLine: Leased Line is a non-dialling protocol and should be used when two codecs are connected in a point-to-point connection. Use Leased Line when the handshaking
signals DTR and CD are available. DTR and CD correspond to the X.21 network’s C and I signals.
DataTriggered: Data Triggered mode uses TxData (transmit data), RxData (receive data) and clock signals only. Use Data Triggered when no handshake signals are available.
Manual: Manual should be used when no handshake signals are available and the external equipment requires a constantly connected line.
External Services allows a third par ty integrator to
present services on the unit using XHTML 1.0 strict and
H T TP.
If turned on, a menu choice will appear in the services
menu, and on entering this the TANDBERG unit will
retrieve a default XHTML page as specified in the Ex ternal Ser vices configuration menu.
Only relevant if using feedback (xfeedback over RS-232/Telnet or feedback
over HTTP).
The feedback filter lets the user configure the maximun frequency between
feedback updates. That means if data changes very rapidly, the control appplication will not receive feedback more frequent than every xth second. This will help
reducing the load on both the link and the control system, but some transition
information might be lost.
G703Callcontrol: <Manual/Auto>
When Auto is selected, the system will automatically initiate a connection as soon as it detects that the far end tries to make a call. This mode is also commonly known as “data
triggered” mode, because the existence of certain data patterns on the line triggers a connection.
When Manual is selected, you must explicitly issue a dial command to make the system connect to the far end system. Receiving an incoming call is not possible.
Example: xconguration g703 callcontrol: auto
G703InterfaceStartChannel: <1..31>
Indicates the rst E1/T1 channel the codec is allowed to use. This setting might be used if the E1/T1 line is shared with other equipment.
Direct: An IP-address must be used in order to make a H.323 call. The system will not use a gatekeeper or CallManager.
Gatekeeper: The system will use a gatekeeper to make a H.323 call.
CallManager: The system will use a CallManager to make a H.323 call.
NOTE! Direct H.323calls can be made even though the H323CallSetup Mode is set to Gatekeeper or Callmanager.
Auto: The system will automatically try to register to any available gatekeeper. If a gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this specic gate-
keeper will be used. This requires auto discovery on the gatekeeper as well. If no gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a gatekeeper for making H.323 calls and hence
an IP-address must be specied manually.
Manual: The system will use a specic gatekeeper identied by H323Gatekeeper Address.
Indicates the maximum number of channels the codec is allowed to use on the E1/T1 interface.
When E1 is selected, maximum is 30 channels. When T1 is selected, maximum is 24 channels.
NOTE: The Mode setting is the main switch to the rest of the options. If Mode is set to Off the other Avaya options will be ignored by the system.
Set to On when the specied gatekeeper (xconguration H323Gatekeeper Address) is an Avaya gatekeeper. This enables Avaya-specic behaviour. An
Avaya gatekeeper is called Avaya Communication Manager - Avaya CM for short).
Example: xconguration h323gatekeeper avaya mode: off
If set to On, the system will register multiple H.323-IDs on the Gatekeeper based on the values of the parameters: System Name, International Name and H.323 ID.
Up to 3 aliases are possible.
If set to Off, the system will register a single H.323-IDs on the Gatekeeper based on the following priority:
H.323 ID1.
International Name2.
System Name3.
Example: xconguration h323gatekeeper multiplealias: On
Set AnnexH to On to enable Avaya strongest level of encryption (H.235.5 with Avaya extensions). When set to Off, the Avaya CM needs to have a “green
license” installed to support non-encrypted endpoints.
Example: xconguration h323gatekeeper avaya annexh: off
The Avaya MultipointCount decides how many simultaneous calls the endpoint will be able to handle. If it is non-zero, that value will be used (there is a
maximum to what the Avaya CM can handle depending on its software version. Change this value only if you know what you’re doing). If set to “0”, default
safe values will be used. The default safe values are:
4 if AnnexH is turned on.
6 if AnnexH is turned off.
NOTE: The multipointcount setting is only used when in an Avaya environment.
If Authentication Mode is set to Auto and the gatekeeper indicates that it requires authentication, the endpoint will automatically try to authenticate itself to the
Gatekeeper.
If Authentication Mode is set to Off the system will not try to authenticate itself to a Gatekeeper, but will still try a normal registration.
Example: xconguration h323gatekeeper authentication mode: auto
H323GatekeeperAuthenticationID: <S: 0, 49>
The system sends the Authentication ID and Password to a Gatekeeper for authentication. The authentication is a one way authentication from the endpoint
system to a Gatekeeper, i.e. the endpoint is authenticated to the Gatekeeper. If the Gatekeeper indicates that no authentication is required, the endpoint will
still try to register.
When dialling a number prexed with digits specied by H.323 Prex, and with Net: Auto, an H.323 call will be placed.
Example: xconguration h323prex: 5
HTTPMode: <On/Off>
Enables/disables HTTP.
Example: xconguration http mode: on
HTTPSMode: <On/Off>
Enables/disables HTTPS.
Example: xconguration https mode: on

Selects what identier to present as remote number for incoming H.323 calls.
Example: xconguration idreport h323: h323id
Please see above. NOTE! The password will not be listed when polling.
The 802.1x Anonymous ID string is to be used as unencrypted identity with EAP types that support different tunneled identity, EAP-PEAP and
EAP-TTLS. The anonymous ID, if set, will be used for the initial (unencrypted) EAP Identity Request
If set to On, the system will start transmitting beacon messages to support AMX’s Dynamic Device Discovery Protocol (DDDP). The beacon string is transmitted as a UDP packet to 239.255.250.250 on port 9131 at random intervals between 30 and 60 secs. The transmission of the Beacon message is by
default set to Off.
Example: xconguration integrator amxbeacon mode: off
The MaxVideoTXRate (kbps) denes the desired maximum transmitted call rate for IP calls. This is to be able to limit the outgoing bandwidth
whilst keeping the maximum incoming bandwidth, especially useful for home ofces with different upstream and downstream rates, typically ADSL.
When pressing a number key on the remote control, while in a call, the user can decide what shall happen. The system can be congured to act automatically or manually.
Please refer to the Endpoint User Guides for further details.
Explicitely specify Calling Party Number elds Type/Plan to be used in outgoing calls in the ISDN setup message. Using default values if set to Off. When set to on, the system
will use the values set by “ISDN ClinNumPlan” and “ISDN ClinNumbType”.
Example: xConguration isdn clinumbspec: Off
Value to be used for Calling Party Number eld Type. If the value is set to 2, the number type in the setup message will be set to National. This is required in the UAE.
Example: xConguration isdn clinumbtype: 5
Value to be used for Calling Party Number eld Plan in the ISDN setup message. If the value is set to 1, the numbering plan in the setup message will signal ISDN. This is required in UAE.
Example: xConguration isdn clinumbplan: 12
ISDNSendComplete: <On/Off>
If set to On the system will send the ISDN message information element Sending Complete.
If set to Off The system will not send Sending Complete. Default is Off.
Example: xconguration isdn sendcomplete: on
ISDNSendNumber: <On/Off>
When set to On, the system will send its own numbers to the far end.
When set to Off, the system will not send its own numbers to the far end, but please note that the network may still send your numbers to the far end.
When set to On, channels will be dialed and connected in parallel when setting up a BONDING call.
When set to Off, channels will be dialled one by one, which may increase the dialling time.
Example: xconguration isdn paralleldial: on
Turns sending of HLC information element in setup message on or off (video calls only). When HLC (Higher Level Capability) is set to On the system will signal, type of call i.e.
video call, telephony or data. HLC must be set to on to work with some PRIs in Italy.
Example: xconguration isdn hlc: on
ISDN Layer 3, telephony calls. When set to Off, there will be no T310, T304, T301
Example: xconguration isdn speechtimers: on
The use of MSN (Multiple Subscriber Number) enables you to attach different ISDN terminals, with different numbers, to the same physical ISDN telephone line.
If MSN is set to On only calls to numbers specied for the specic ISDN interfaces will be answered. This service can be ordered from your telephone company.
Example: xconguration isdn msn: on
Using a sub address enables you to connect up to eight ISDN terminals to the same ISDN telephone number and line. The terminals are addressed by using different sub addresses. To call a terminal with a sub address, separate the ISDN telephone number and the sub address with a *. Note that this service has limited access on some ISDN
networks.
Example: xconguration isdn subaddress: 15
