To place a call by entering a name or number:
1.
Enter the ISDN number (for example, 19875554321), the system name (for
example, Aspen Conference Room), or the IP address (for example,
255.255.255.255) of the site you want to call. The system automatically
determines the type of call to make based on the information you enter.
2.
Enter any additional information needed for the call. The available settings
depend on the type of call and your system’s configuration. Not all calls
require these settings:
•
Call Quality
— Specify the bandwidth for this call. For most calls, choose
Auto to let the system determine the best quality for the call.
•
Second ISDN number
— Use two numbers only when the party you are
calling instructs you to do so.
•
Gateway extension
— If you need to dial an extension, enter the extension
in the second entry field. If your system is not configured with a second
entry field, you can enter the extension when the gateway prompts you.
