ViewStation User’s Guide
The Remote Control
The remote control that came with your ViewStation is an integral part of the
unit. It works the same way as the remote for your television at home. You’ll be
using it to highlight and select icons that appear on the monitor, configure your
address book, move your camera, adjust the volume, place video calls, etc.
The Microphone Pod
The microphone pod provides omnidirectional digital audio input to the
ViewStation and provides automatic gain control, noise suppression, echo
cancellation, and a mute button. The practical range of the microphone pod is
approximately a 25 foot (8 meter) radius.
What You Need to Get Started
To make your ViewStation fully operable, you’ll need an ISDN line from your
service provider, a television monitor and a power source.
ISDN
The ViewStation uses an ISDN line to transmit and receive your video calls.
The ViewStation 128 supports a single ISDN line for up to 128kbps
videoconferencing. The ViewStation 512/MP supports a maximum of four
ISDN lines for up to 512kbps videoconferencing.
