MXP Series Video Endpoints

User  Guide

Thank you for choosing TANDBERG! 
TANDBERG video conferencing offers the 

natural communication experience of a 

face-to–face meeting in ways that other 

technologies cannot.
Your TANDBERG MXP video endpoint has 

been designed to give you many years of 

safe, reliable operation.
This user guide has been divided into 

several chapters, all of which provide 

different information. You can access the 

chapters directly by clicking on the menu 

bar at the top of this page. 
You will find that some places information 

has been copied from other chapters (but 

adapted, when needed) to let you have all 

the relevant information there and then. 

This helps eliminating the need to read 

through long sections before you can even 

think of getting started.
