Making a call
The Vision 5000 has its own internal software controlled inverse multiplexer, SoftMux and uses
Intelligent
Call Management (ICM)
. This enables you to dial to other videoconferencing equipment, phones and
mobile phones without needing to use a prefix. ICM provides you with on-screen, real-time feedback on the
progress of a call. You will, when calling to videoconferencing equipment, obtain a connection on as many
channels as possible.
External Networks
ICM is not available when using an external IMUX or when connecting via special networks.
Ending a call
Switching off the monitor(s) will not disconnect a call. To disconnect a call you should press the
ACCEPT
END CALL
key.
Video call
To make a video call, enter the number of the unit you wish to call using the Dialling keys and press
SEND
.
Example:
12
SEND
,
12345678 = Number
The system will, by default, try to connect using 6 channels and BONDING. If the requested number of
channels cannot be established, the system will establish a connection on as many channels as possible
(some limitations depending on remote system).
The SoftMux supports high reliability and includes the unique Downspeed feature. If channels are dropped
during a meeting, Downspeeding automatically maintains the connection without interrupting the call in
progress.
If you are calling to a unit that does not support more than 2 channels, the Vision 5000 will connect on 2
channels. When dialling to an analogue telephone, you will also connect without using a prefix. Due to ICM
you should never need to use any special prefix.
To force a special number of channels, see
Special Call Prefixes

The default number of channels may be changed , see
