• The PC monitor cable (if you are using a PC in your Video conference) – set laptop to use

datashow and plug in the cable. There’s a network cable next to the document camera for the
Lincoln LAN.

• Remote controls for: the Tandberg VC, the TV and optionally the VHS recorder if you are using it

Switch on equipment

• The television, selecting the Video1 channel, and set the volume to about 30.

• Switch on the Document Camera (if you are going to use it) and optionally the lamps

• VCR, if used to record your session for training purposes

(exact operation depends on model, these instructions assume a Panasonic NV-SD20)

Press Operate to switch on the VCR. Select channel AI on the VCR. Press the Record button.
Note: you cannot use this VCR for playing tapes as part of your presentation.

• Switch on the Tandberg unit by pressing the OK/Menu (QF#10) and you should see the
Welcome screen. If there are no lights on the front and the unit doesn’t respond to the remote
control, check the power switch on the rear of the unit.

• Make sure the VC volume control isn’t turned all the way down so you see

Check the Camera Presets

The VC equipment is configured with the following preset camera positions/sources:

Preset 1 2 3 4

You should make sure they haven’t been changed, or you might get a surprise during your video
conference. To check the presets:

• Make sure you are in Selfview mode press QF#12 a couple of times if you aren’t sure

• From the menu select Camera Control then Display Preset. Use the navigation

keys (QF#10) to select 1, 2, and 3 in turn, clicking OK/Menu each time to switch. Because
Selfview is on, the TV screen will show each of the sources in turn.

• For presets 1 and 3 the camera lens will swivel, zoom and focus on at the preset locations.

• If the presets are not as they should be, please refer to the Troubleshooting section at the end of

this guide to find out how to reset them, or use manual camera control if you haven’t time.

• If you are using a laptop, make sure the laptop is set to use an external monitor/datashow

Tip: In a conference, you can quickly switch between presets by pressing 1,2 or 3 on the remote control.

Understand VC Calling Methods

The Lincoln Tandberg VC equipment only supports IP Video Conferencing. It does NOT support ISDN.
However you can conference with ISDN users by using an external video conferencing bridge that
supports IP and ISDN video conference. Contact the Service Desk for more information

• Public IP – this is a growing international standard that uses the public Internet. End nodes can
be referenced by an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123 or a DNS

name like

tandberg1.ibm.com. IP addresses though harder to remember are easier to enter into the remote
control.
