Making calls
Access codes
Your TANDBERG system may, or may not, have
been set up to require access codes to be typed in
before a call can be made.
Access codes are used for two things:
Call restrictions.
•
These may be applied by
installing 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 access
code is needed whenever you make a call. Your
company may have different access codes for
the different 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. Observe 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 applications may be combined
to form a billing system with call restrictions. This
will then become a system that acts as forced
billing.
Access codes should be activated by your
system administrator.
How to do this is described in the Administrator
Guide which can be found on the CD that
accompanied your TANDBERG video system.
When the system asks for access codes…
… this dialog box will appear, prompting you to enter a valid code:
Using the number keys in text fields
Whenever text entries are expected by the system,
a small abc or ABC appears in the lower right
corner of the entry field. For entry fields expecting
numbers, 123 will appear instead. In text mode,
entries from the number keys are automatically
interpreted as text entries in the same way as on a
mobile phone.
Guidelines:
Press the key that corresponds to the required
•
letter as many times as needed to produce that
letter.
Switch between lower case (
•
abc) and upper
case (ABC) letters with the # a/A key.
Switch between text mode (
•
abc) and
number mode (123) by keeping the # a/A key
depressed for more than a second.
To insert space, press the
•
0 _ key.
To insert the
•
@ sign, press the 1-key twice,
while the keypad is in text mode.
To insert the
•
. sign, press the
*
.-key once,
while the keypad is in number mode.
To write digits and numbers in a text input field,
•
repeatedly press the corresponding key until the
digit appears.
Use the remote control to enter the code. Note that the system
expects text entries, similar to when using a mobile phone to send text
messages (sms)—see the text to the right for details.
