INTRODUCTION

Welcome to VSGi’s End-User Training! Step-by-step, we’ll show you how

easy it is to operate your Polycom ViewStation videoconferencing system.

Throughout this guide you’ll also learn our “tips & tricks” and really impress

your co-workers. So get ready to make friends with your ViewStation. Trust

us, you’ll be amazed at what this technology can do for you and your

company!

Now, before we even get started, you’ll need to know the basics. First we’ll

review the ViewStation and all its components. Then, in the simplest terms

possible, we’ll explain your system’s network requirements.

Product Overview

The camera of the

ViewStation is embedded into

the system. That’s right – the

entire videoconferencing

system can sit on top a

standard TV monitor! It’s

pictured here along with:

• The Microphone Pod -

should be positioned

approximately 10’ from

the ViewStation

• The Remote Keypad –

has an infrared

connection with the

Polycom camera.

Configuration.

Your ViewStation may also include a second

monitor (called a dual-monitor configuration)

and may be attached to additional equipment

(called peripherals).

Network Review

ISDN-BRI

1. The ViewStation requires a network connection to ISDN-BRI (Integrated

Services Digital Network-Basic Rate Interface). In simplest terms, ISDN

is a digital network for transmitting voice, data, and video over a single

line. This service is commonly ordered from your telephone carrier.

• A single ISDN-BRI has two (B) Channels and (1) D Channel. The two

(B) channels carry user information at 64 kbps for a bandwidth of 128

kbps.

• Each additional ISDN line will increase the bandwidth capability of the

system by 128 kbps per line.

2. A Network Terminal Interface (NT-1) is required for each ISDN line that is

connected to the ViewStation. The NT-1 isolates the network from the

equipment and protects it from an electrical overload on the network.

Tips & Tricks #1

The ViewStation

checks the

configuration of the ISDN line

every time a user powers it on.

Checking the ISDN line normally

takes less than a minute. If your ISDN line is not properly

configured, the initial calling screen will display an

ISDN checking icon in addition to the standard icons.

IP Networ

Your ViewStation may also be connected to your

company’s LAN (Local Area Network) which uses IP

(Internet Protocol) technology. Every time you use

your e-mail or surf the Net, at work, you are using an

IP network.

If your ViewStation is connected to an IP network, the

upper right corner on your Main Calling Screen would

have “H.323” under the Polycom and ViewStation

logos.

“H.323” means your

ViewStation may be on

an IP network.

videoconferencing over their IP network.
