Making calls
Answering an incoming call
Answering an incoming call can be automated if
you so wish, or you can have the system set up
so that it requires that you physically accept the
incoming call by pressing the green Call key on the
remote control or the corresponding icon on the
screen.
About incoming calls and privacy
You may want to set up your system so that the
microphone is switched off whenever you receive
an incoming call.
The yellow Microphone Off key on the remote
control can be operated to prevent callers from
hearing you without your control. Press again to
reactivate the microphone.
If the system is set up to automatically accept
incoming calls with the microphone set to On, this
is called setting Autoanswer to On.
Your system may, however, be set up so that it
automatically accepts an incoming call, but with
the microphone switched off. This is called setting
Autoanswer to On + Mic Off. This will require that
you switch the microphone back on manually each
time someone calls you.
To further increase the sense of privacy, you may
also have your system set up so that you always
must answer all incoming calls manually.
These settings are parts of the Control Panel
Settings available. Your administrator may, or
may not, have password protection activated to
prevent unauthorized alterations of these and other
settings. If in doubt, consult your administrator.
A message will be sent to the far end
whenever you have disabled your
microphone and/or your camera.
An alternative to this could be the use of the do not
disturb feature (far right).
When someone calls you…
… this menu is displayed on the screen of your video system:
Navigate to here and
press the OK key to
accept the call.
Navigate to here and
press the OK key to
reject the call.
Navigate to here and
press the OK key to
activate Do Not Disturb.
This will not apply
if Do Not Disturb
already has been
activated, nor will it
apply if Autoanswer
has been set to On
or to On + Mic Off.
See text for details.
Using the Do Not Disturb
There is a do not disturb function available on your
system. When set to On, all incoming calls are
blocked from your system.
Use the feature as follows:
Outside a call, press the red
1.
End Call key. In the
menu then appearing, navigate to the Do Not
Disturb icon:
Press the
2.
OK key to activate this feature. The
screen will turn black and the text Press any
key to clear Do Not Disturb will be shown.
To reset the function, do just that (press any key).
3.
Let us assume that the do not disturb function has
not been activated. Choosing Do Not Disturb (as
shown to the left) when receiving an incoming call
will then do two things: It rejects the incoming call
(in the same way as choosing Reject), and sets the
do not disturb functionality to
On.
If you activate Do Not Disturb whilst in a call, this
will block incoming calls for as long as your call is
going on.
Whenever the do not disturb function has been
activated, the far end will be informed that the
called is busy.
Want a different video alert audio signal?
You are not stuck with the audio signal alerting
you that an incoming call is on its way. This may
be changed in the Audio Settings in the Control
Panel section. Note that these settings may have
been password protected by your administrator.
If the microphone has been deactivated, press
the yellow Mic off key to reactivate.
Alternatively, you may use the keys of the remote control directly:
Press the green Call
key to accept the call.
Press the red End Call key
to reject the call.
