Managing the System Remotely

Creating a Localized System Name with the V500 Web Interface
Localized system names are sent to the far site and displayed as the caller ID
by V500 systems using version 8.0 or later. When you enter a localized system
name, it is also entered in English/Pinyin. The English/Pinyin name is the
name used by the Global Directory Server, the gatekeeper, and other systems
that do not support this feature, and it is also the name that shows up in the
Recent Calls list.
To create a localized system name using the V500 web interface:
1.
On a computer, open a web browser.
2.
In the browser address line, enter the system’s IP address (for example,
http://10.11.12.13
) to go to the V500 web interface.
3.
Go to System Setup > Admin Settings > General Settings > System
Settings .
4.
Enter the localized system name in the appropriate language field.
Implementing Basic Mode with the V500 Web Interface
Basic Mode is a limited operating mode that uses H.261 for video and G.711
for audio. It provides administrators with a workaround for interoperability
issues that cannot be solved using other methods. The Basic Mode setting stays
in effect until you change it.
To enable Basic Mode using the V500 web interface:
1.
On a computer, open a web browser.
2.
In the browser address line, enter the system’s IP address (for example,
http://10.11.12.13
) to go to the V500 web interface.
3.
Go to System Setup > Admin Settings > Network > Call Preference >
Call Preference .
4.
Select Enable Basic Mode .
Basic Mode is intended as a way to complete calls to older systems that lack many
of the capabilities of the V500 system. You will notice lower quality video and audio
in calls using Basic Mode.
