11. the video network screen (shown in figure 1-12) is displayed for viewstations with a v.35 network interface module.
rs-366 dialing:
1 checked: enable the rs-366 dialing option if a call is made from the viewstation through the dce connection to the far site video communications system.
2 not checked: disable rs-366 dialing option if:
?1 the dce is used to dial the video call.
?2 a dedicated connection is used to connect the viewstation to the far site.
v.35 ports used:
1 1: for 1-channel calls when dialing through the v.35, or when the viewstation is in non-dialed mode.
2 1-2: for 2 x 56 kbps or 2 x 64 kbps calls when dialing through the v.35.
dialing protocol: rs-366 is displayed as the dialing protocol if the rs-366 dialing option is enabled. this field cannot be changed.
broadcast mode: the viewstation v.35 supports h.331 broadcast mode for broadcast transmissions over satellite. in h.331 broadcast mode, the viewstation sends and receives audio and video without handshaking with either the far site viewstation or h.331-compatible video communications systems. one viewstation can send video and audio to many viewstations or other h.331-compatible systems, as in a large satellite network.
1 checked: enables broadcast mode. when checked, the broadcast mode setup icon appears.
2 not checked: disables broadcast mode. when not checked the broadcast mode setup icon is not present.
broadcast mode: the broadcast mode screen (shown in figure 1-13) is used to configure the v.35 broadcast mode properties:
1 video format:
qcif: to transmit qcif (quarter common interchange format) 176 x 144 resolution, select qcif.
fcif: to transmit fcif (full common interchange format) 352 x 288 resolution, select fcif.
2 video protocol:
h.261: to transmit video using the h.261 standard, select h.261.
h.263: to transmit video using the h.263 enhanced video algorithm, select h.263. if the far-site systems support h.263, your system receives h.263. if the far site systems support h.261, your viewstation adjusts to support h.261 video.
3 audio mode: the audio mode can be adjusted to compensate for distorted audio due to high packet loss. select the preferred audio protocol for transmitting audio:
g.728 (default)
g.711u
g.711a
g.722-56
g.722-48
off
4 frame rate: the frame rate is the number of frames per second (fps) transmitted by the viewstation to the far site. this is adjustable to compensate for distorted video due to high packet loss. select the preferred video frame rate for the broadcast transmission in frames per second or fps:
1 30 fps (default)
2 15 fps
3 10 fps
4 7.5 fps
set broadcast configuration parameters to accommodate the lowest common denominator of the video communication systems that receive the video and audio broadcasts. for example, if one video communication system participating in the video supports h.261 only, set the video protocol to h.261 to ensure that all systems are able to participate.
if rs-366 dialing is enabled on the video network screen, the advanced v.35 screen is displayed.
1 prefix/suffix: use the advanced v.35 screen (shown if figure 1-14) to set the dialing prefixes and suffixes. dialing prefixes are numbers and characters that are sent to the dce equipment before the dialed number is sent. dialing suffixes are numbers and characters that are sent to the dce equipment after the dialed number is sent.
use prefixes and suffixes to set the dce speed used to dial a call.
prefixes and suffixes are a function of the dce. see your dce user documentation for information about setting dialing profiles to the dce specific equipment.
2 calling profiles: calling profiles are configured on the advanced v.35 screen. to select and change the profiles, highlight the calling profile field and select the specific equipment.
3 dialing speeds: if rs-366 dialing is enabled on the video network screen, the dialing speeds screen is displayed.
on this screen, specify the dialing speeds available to users when placing video calls. the default speeds are:
1 2 x 64 kbps
2 256 kbps
3 384 kbps
4 512 kbps
4 to add or remove speeds, scroll though the data rates and press the select button on the remote control to choose the preferred dialing speeds. a red check is displayed when a dialing speed is selected.
12. on the isdn video numbers screen (shown in figure 1-16), complete the following:
1 enter your local area or std code.
2 enter the isdn numbers assigned to your viewstation. the isdn service provider should have provided this number when your isdn line was installed.
13. dcp video numbers

14. auto detect spids:
1 on the auto detect spids screen (shown in figure 1-18), enter the service profile id (spids) numbers for the viewstation. if connected to an internal phone system (pbx) or if the viewstation is outside north america, a spid may not be required.
or
2 select the start icon for the viewstation to automatically detect spids.
if the viewstation is unable to find the spids, check the network connection and verify that the isdn have been entered correctly.
to manually enter the spid numbers for the viewstation as shown in figure 1-18, highlight each line and channel, and press the select button on the remote control. enter the spid numbers accordingly.
15. if pbx is selected on the auto detect spids screen, the following screen (shown in figure 1-19) requires the number used to obtain an outside line.

select the isdn switch protocol according to the isdn switch type used with the isdn network, as shown in figure 1-20.
17. the telephone numbers screen shown in figure 1-21 is where the telephone number for the viewstation (if used) is entered. an additional field is provided for the telephone where the viewstation is used.
when the main calling screen is displayed as shown in figure 1-22, the viewstation setup is complete.
at the top left of the main calling screen is the viewstation type indicator, which is displayed below the polycom logo. this indicates the network interface module (if any) that is configured with the viewstation.
