Placing a Call
You can use your system to place a video call in any of these ways:
• Entering a name or number on the Place a Call screen.
• Choosing a site from:
— Recent Calls list
— Favorites screen
— Speed Dial
— Directory
• Calling into a scheduled meeting from the Calendar screen.
Calling by Entering a Name or Number
To place a call by entering a name or number:
1 From the Home screen select Place a Call, or start entering numbers with
the remote control to go to the Place a Call screen if it is enabled on your
system.
2 In the dialing field, enter the dialing information. Depending on the
capabilities of your system and the system you are calling, the dialing
information could look like one of these examples:
— 10.11.12.13 (IPv4 address—include the dots)
— 1b11:22ad:333a:444b:5cc5:66d6:e777:88f8 (IPv6 address—include the
colons)
— 2555 (E.164 extension for H.323 or SIP)
— stereo.polycom.com (DNS name)
— 19782922854 (ISDN or phone number)
— user@domain.com (SIP)
To enter letters, press Keyboard on the remote control.
To delete a number, press Delete on the remote control.
3 Enter any additional information needed for the call. The available
settings depend on the type of call and your system’s configuration. Not
all calls require these settings:
— Call Quality – Specify the call rate or call type for this call. For most
calls, choose Auto to let the system determine the best quality for the
call. For audio-only calls, you might need to set this to Phone.
— Second ISDN number – Use two numbers only when the person you
are calling instructs you to do so.
