Environmental Issues
Thank you for buying a product, which contributes to a reduction in pollution, and thereby helps
save the environment. Our products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce
pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper)
and low energy consuming products.
Battery handling
Batteries for the Remote Control are Long Life and Alkaline batteries saving the environment;
please follow guidelines on the packing material for handling and disposal of the batteries.
Waste handling
There is no need to send any products or material back to TANDBERG as there are no
consumables to take care of. Please contact your local dealer for information on local waste
handling and recycling of electronic products.
Production of products
Our factories employ the most efficient environmental methods for reducing waste and pollution
and ensuring the products are recyclable.
Digital User Manuals
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that it has replaced the printed versions of its User Manuals
with a digital CD version. Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one CD which
can be used with all TANDBERG products, in a variety of languages. The environmental benefits
of this are significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge. A simple web-
based search feature helps users directly access the information they need. In addition, the
TANDBERG video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a
range of useful features and tips. If desired, the user manuals on the CD can still be printed
locally.

1.1 At a Glance
Camera
The main camera is
mounted on top of the
monitor. The main
camera includes a high
quality color camera with
a fast pan/tilt/zoom
action. The main camera
is controlled by the
system’s infra-red
remote control and
operates pan/tilt, focus
and zoom.
Monitor
The monitor displays the
far-end and near-end
videoconferencing sites
in addition to the menus.
Note that the monitor
pictures/drawings used
in this manual might
differ from the actual
monitor model shipped
with the system.
Codec
The codec is the heart of
the system. Its main task
is the compression of
outgoing video, audio
and data, the
transmission of this
information to the far end
and the decompression
of the incoming
information - the name
codec comes from a
combination of the two
words compression and
decompression.

Introduction
Remote Control
The remote control is used to control all functions of the system. If the screen saver is activated
(black monitor), touching the remote control will automatically wake up the system. The remote
control uses 4 AAA batteries. The system will tell you when batteries are running low. Change the
batteries at the back of the remote control.
The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters. For users sitting in an open plan office, this
can cause problems. Use the little, white switch placed under the batteries to change the reach of
the signal from 20 meters to 2 meters. This will prevent you from unintentionally controlling
another video system, when you control your own system.
Microphone
The high quality table microphone is designed to be placed on a table during a videoconference.
The ideal location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the
system. The microphone cable should always point towards the system. The system will
automatically equalize sound levels. Loud and soft voices are picked up and transmitted to the far
end at approximately the same level.

The above behaviour is similar for both single monitor systems and dual monitor systems.
Selfview applies for the main monitor.
3.2.2.1 Local PC Display
When using the screen as your PC screen, it is recommended to set Local PC Display to On, see
Screen Settings. That implies that you can display your PC locally while having a
videoconference, and you can keep on working without having the Far End participant watching
your PC screen.
It is also recommended to keep the Auto Layout setting On (default) to get a suitable layout when
toggling from Local PC Display mode to standard conference mode.
Use the Selfview button to toggle between Local PC Display mode and standard videoconference
mode. An indicator tells you that your PC image is displayed locally.
Example:
You are using the system as a PC and get an incoming call.
When the setting “Use Screen as Local PC monitor” is On, you will keep your PC image
displayed locally and the incoming call pops up as smaller images in a 1+3 layout. You
will see Local PC displayed in the big picture and Far End and Near End (your self)
displayed in smaller pictures.
Press the Selfview button to switch to standard conference mode. The Local PC image
is no longer displayed and Far End is displayed in the big picture. Press Selfview again
to see Near End. Pressing Selfview a third time will bring back the Local PC display
mode.

Layout
The layout of the screen can either be shown as Picture in Picture (PIP) or Picture outside Picture
(POP) when displaying more than one video image. The behaviour of the Layout button is
dependent on the Picture Layout setting in Screen Settings.
3.2.3.1 Picture in Picture
When Picture Layout is set to PIP, the Layout button makes it possible to see a second image in
a smaller view in one of the corners of the screen. The second image will be placed on top of the
main image. The user can decide in which corner the second image is to be displayed.
3.2.3.2 Picture outside Picture
When Picture Layout is set to POP, the Layout button makes it possible to see up to three images
in a composition optimized for wide screens. The second image can be displayed either as a
side-by-side the main image (1+1) or smaller images next to the main image (1+2 and 1+3).
Press the Layout button once to get side-by-side view (1+1). Press again to get the layouts 1+2
and 1+3, and finally go back to full screen view. You can also go back to full screen directly by
pressing and holding Layout for 1 second. It is recommended to use Picture outside Picture for
wide screen monitor systems.
3.2.3.3 Auto Layout
The system will automatically choose the best layout for your call. The layouts vary depending on
how many participants there are and if you use a dual video source or not. You can however
always change layout manually with the Layout button. Auto Layout applies when you open or
close a dual stream, or add or disconnect participants.
Auto Layout also includes the former automatic PIP. That implies that PIP will automatically be
shown when suitable, e.g. to display selfview when you move your near end camera. The
automatic PIP times out after a couple of seconds.
If Auto Layout is Off you will get no automatic layout changes during a call and the user must
manually control the images with the Layout button. Auto Layout is default On. To turn Auto
Layout Off, go to Screen Settings.

Streaming
Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting to participants on web. The web participants can
listen to the meeting, see snapshots, but not participate themselves. Snapshots of current stream
(if MultiSite), selfview, far end and DuoVideo streams are accessible via http. See Appendix 6 for
descriptions of the possible snapshot files.
How to use Streaming:
1. Choose Streaming from the Call Menu to open the Streaming menu.
2. Press Start Streaming from the menu line. An indicator will appear on the screen when
streaming is activated.
3. Press Stop Streaming to end streaming. Streaming will also end when you disconnect the
call.
4. Press Streaming Settings if you want to change streaming settings (see Streaming
Settings below)
How to view streaming from a PC:
1. After streaming is started, an easy way to view the streamed audio/video is to start your
Web browser and enter the IP-address of the streaming system.
2. After the Web page of the system is shown, click on Streaming. Alternatively, enter
http://<codec ip-address>/stream.sdp
Streaming Settings
Address
Address is defined as the IP-address of a streaming client, streaming
server or a multicast address. Giving an address in the range 224.0.0.1-
239.255.255.255 will broadcast the stream to any host that has joined
the specified multicast group. Specifying normal broadcast address
255.255.255.255 will broadcast to any members on the LAN.
Address Port
If several codec’s are streaming to the same IP-address, different ports
have to be used in order for the client to know which stream to receive.
If the first codec streams on port 2240 and the second codec on port
2250, the client has to specify which port to listen to. Video is
transmitted on the specified port; audio is transmitted on the port
number 4 above the specified video port, in this case 2244 and 2254.
TTL/Router
Hops
This is used for streaming data to limit how many routers the data
should pass before it is rejected. If TTL is set to 2, data will not traverse
more than 2 router hops.

Bandwidth for a MultiSite Contact call
When calling a MultiSite Contact, the system will try to call the participants with their specified
bandwidths. If the total bandwidth exceeds the systems maximum bandwidth, the system will
downspeed and distribute the available bandwidth equally for all the participants.
Example: In a MultiSite Contact there is one participant with bandwidth 256kbps and one
participant with bandwidth 384kbps. 512kbps is the maximum bandwidth of the system.
The two participants' bandwidth exceeds the maximum bandwidth. The system will then
downspeed so that each participant connects with equal bandwidth, i.e. 512kbps/2 = 256kbps.

3.10.6 Camera Tracking
Through Camera Tracking and the use of two or three microphones, the camera can
automatically position itself on the current speaker. Before using camera tracking, the camera
positions used must be stored at Preset 7 (Mic1) and Preset 8 (Mic2).
How to use Camera Tracking:

keys.
Example: You have placed Microphone 1 on the table. Where should you position the camera
for Preset 7?
The camera position stored at Preset 7 must be related to Microphone 1. Therefore all
participants who are located closest to Mic1 should be included in the Preset 7 camera
position etc. When camera tracking is activated and a person close to Mic1 speaks, Preset 7
will be automatically selected.
When activating another video source (for instance document camera), camera tracking will be
temporarily disabled until you re-select Main Camera or a Main Camera preset.
The camera tracking speeds may be altered in the Video Settings menu in Administrator Settings,
see Camera Tracking Mode for further details.
A Voice Detector makes the system more tolerant of noise and ensures the camera not to be
moved by noise such as paper shuffling, etc.
Note that pressing Mic Off will temporarily disable camera tracking until you turn on the
microphone again.

3.11.5 Dual Stream (DuoVideoTF/H.239)
(Optional feature - not available on all systems)
With Dual Stream you have the opportunity to show two different live video streams
simultaneously, main video and one additional source. This is handy when showing a
presentation. You see the live presentation and the live video of the presenter simultaneously.
When you start a presentation, Dual Stream starts automatically if both local and remote system
supports Dual Stream. If one of the systems does not support Dual Stream, no second video
stream will be established and your presentation will be shown as your main video.
Dual Stream is available on all systems with Natural Presenter Package installed. H.239 is the
new ITU standard defining how to send two video sources simultaneously.
Example:
Start a meeting with main camera as video source. Press the presentation key on the remote
control to start a PC presentation.
PC will appear as a Dual Video Stream in addition to main camera. End the Dual Stream
presentation by pressing presentation key again.
In Presentation Settings, you can set Presentation Start to Manual. That means that Dual Stream
will not start automatically.
Example:

A dialog box appears where you can choose to show PC as Dual Video Stream or not. This is
handy if you not always want to use Dual Stream.
Dual Stream and Bandwidth
Using Dual Stream, the quality will automatically downspeed to the optimal bandwidth. This
means that you need higher quality to allocate enough bandwidth for the two video streams. Dual
Stream borrows bandwidth from main video. When Dual Stream is closed, the bandwidth is
returned to the main video.
Note that when selecting the Document Camera or PC, the system will automatically request floor
when connected to a MCU conference as MultiSite host* or connected to an external MCU.

to the MultiSite depends of the network that is used.
To dial in to the MultiSite on IP:
.
Dial the IP Number or the IP Address of the system. All sites can dial the same number.
To dial in to the MultiSite on ISDN-PRI:
Dial the ISDN number of the system. All sites can dial the same number.
.
To dial in to the MultiSite on ISDN-BRI:
.
The MultiSite has specific numbers for each call that participates in the conference. To
find the dial-in numbers for the MultiSite, choose Information from the main menu and
open System Information from the bottom menu line.
Site 2 must dial MultiSite Number 2.
Site 3 must dial MultiSite Number 3.
Site 4 must dial MultiSite Number 4.
.
.
.
.
And so forth
Receiving calls to a MultiSite
When the MultiSite receives incoming calls you can accept or reject it. Pressing the green key is
equivalent to pressing Accept. Pressing the red key is equivalent to pressing Reject.
End a MultiSite Call
Ending a MultiSite Call is not very different from ending a normal point-to-point call. Use the red
key on the remote control or End Call from the main menu. The end call menu lists all the calls
that participate in the conference. To end a single call, select the call, press OK or the red key on
the remote control. To end all calls, press the End All Calls button in the menu.
Duo Video in MultiSite calls
In a MultiSite call, the MultiSite can transmit the Duo Video and/or H.239 to the other participants
that support Duo Video and/or H.239. This means that any participant can send Dual Stream and
the MultiSite will transmit it to the other participants. The participants that do not support Duo
Video or H.239 will only receive Main Video or only the dual stream dependent on software
options installed.
Mix ISDN/IP
A conference can consist of any combination of ISDN/IP sites.
* The MultiSite option is not available on the TANDBERG 550 MXP, TANDBERG 770 MXP and TANDBERG 1000 MXP

Presentation Start
If your system has Dual Stream capabilities, you can show two video streams at the same time
(see also Dual Stream). Presentation Start is Auto by default. This means that you will start Dual
Stream (a second video stream) automatically when starting a presentation. Dual Stream requires
the Presenter Option and H.263 video. To check which options are installed, see the System
Information menu in Control Panel.
Manual means that you manually choose if you want to start Duo Video or not every time you
start a presentation.
Auto
Dual Stream starts automatically when you start a presentation (in other words,
when you choose a second video source). If your system or the far end system is
not capable of Duo Video/H.239, you will not use Dual Stream, but rather send the
presentation source as your Main Video
Manual When starting a presentation, select Presentation in the call menu and select Start
Presentation. Choose a video source from the list displayed on the screen.

Call Video Source
The Call Video Source is the default video source you would like to use in a call. If you use Main
Camera as Call Video Source, the system will start with Main Camera every time you make a call,
regardless of what the previous video source was.
Example: What is the advantage of setting Call Video Source to Main Camera?
When you are not in a call, you can work with the screen as a normal PC screen. When you
make a video call, the system will automatically change to Main Camera. When you receive
a call, the system will also automatically change to Main Camera, preventing that the caller
will see your PC image.
You can change Call Video Source to Main Camera, PC or Current. Choosing Current will result
in the last used video source.

Default Call Settings
Default Call Settings are connected with Call Settings in the call menu. If you leave Call Settings
unchanged when making a call, the system will use the Default Call Settings in the call.
In addition to the Call Settings Call Type, Net, Bandwidth and Restrict (56k), you also find settings
for H.320 Auto bandwidth and H.323 Auto bandwidth in Default Call Settings.
Call Type
Call Type can be set to:
.
.
Video Call
Telephone Call
If either the Call Type is set to Telephone Call or the Place Telephone Call
icon is selected when making a call, the call will be set up as a telephone call.
In all other cases the call will be set up as a video call.
Some network configurations may cause the setup of a video call to fail. The
call will then be set up as a telephone call instead if Fallback to Telephony is
enabled.
For MultiSite calls, Call Type enables you to specify both telephone calls and
video calls in the same conference.
Network
The Network alternatives are:
.
.
.
.
Auto
ISDN
H.323
SIP
If Auto is selected, the system will select the right network depending on the
entered number:
.
.
If an IP-address (e.g. 10.12.34.56 ) is entered, H.323 is selected.
If the first digits in the number match those set in H.323 Prefix, H.323
is selected.
.
In other cases, ISDN (H.320) is selected.
ISDN indicates:
ISDN-BRI
.
If a gatekeeper is present, it is possible to place IP-calls using “telephone-
style” numbers, e.g. an E.164 alias, according to the numbering plan
implemented in the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper will then translate the dialed
number into an IP-address, see H.323 Settings for more information about
gatekeepers.

* Note that some software versions and networks do not support all channel selections.
Restrict
(56k)
A restricted call uses 56kbps channels rather then the default unrestricted
64kbps channels.
Some older networks (primarily in the USA) do not support 64kbps channels
and require the use of restricted 56kbps calls. By default the system will dial
an unrestricted call and downspeed to 56kbps if necessary.
To force a restricted call, choose Restrict (56k) On.
H.221 or 2x64 (2x56) Calling
Some older or low end video systems do not have the ability to make bonded ISDN calls. In these
cases it is necessary to dial both ISDN numbers separately to call those systems.

Enter the second number in the Call Settings field. For 128 kbps calls that use bonding,
ignore the second number field and just enter one number to be dialed.
Using sub-address / extension address / MCU password
Sub-address is used to address different systems on the same ISDN line and is primarily used in
European Countries. LAN equivalent extension address or TCS-4 is used to address different
systems on a LAN, when dialing via a gateway.
To specify an ISDN sub-address or its LAN equivalent extension address (TCS-4), add a star (*)
after the number and then enter the sub-address/extension address.
Example:
12345678*10 ( <number>*<Sub-address/extension address/MCU password>)
When dialing IP via a gateway, the number behind the star (*) on IP might be interpreted as an
extension address.
When calling to external MCU’s requiring a password (TSC-1), this password can be added after
the star (*). If no password is specified, the user will be asked to enter the password (after
connecting to the MCU).

Inputs
Mic 1- 2 and Audio input 3-4
By default, all inputs are enabled. Just plug in an audio source and it is active. Audio inputs that
are On will automatically be mixed. Unconnected inputs will automatically be muted. Select Off to
prevent audio/noise from connected but unused inputs. The activated audio sources are stored
on camera presets.
Mic 1 and 2 are intended for electret type microphones. The microphone inputs are balanced with
24V phantom power.
Audio inputs 3-4 (VCR Left/Right) are intended for connection to a VCR, DVD player or PC audio
output. They can also be connected to other external playback devices. As there is no acoustic
echo canceller on these inputs they should not be connected to any microphones. The audio
entering these inputs will be heard from the local speaker as well.
Mix Mode
Auto
The adjustment of each microphone signal is done automatically to obtain the best
possible audio and minimize the background noise.
Fixed
Fixed will maintain a constant weighting of all microphones.
VCR Ducking
If VCR Ducking is activated, the VCR audio level will be attenuated if someone talks into the
microphone or at the far end.
The VCR ducking is only valid for audio input 4. If input 3 and 4 is configured to one stereo input
pair, see Stereo Settings, then the VCR ducking will apply to both input 3 and 4.
Level Settings
It is possible to adjust the audio input levels according to which external audio equipment is
connected. The on-screen audio level indicator will make it easier to set the correct input level
settings. The input level should be adjusted so that the average level reaches the preferred level
marker. The audio inputs are adjustable in steps of 1.5 dB from 0 dB to 22.5 dB.
The default levels for Mic 1 and 2 are set for use with an Audio Technica AT871R or AT841R
microphone in an average videoconferencing room. The gain can be adjusted correctly for a wide
range of microphones.
A few examples of microphone levels are:

4.5.3
Echo Control
Mic 1-2
Each of the 2 microphone inputs has a separate acoustic echo canceller. One echo canceller per
input provides more sophisticated control than having one common canceller for all microphones.
In addition to echo cancellation, the system has built-in noise reduction (NR). NR reduces
constant background noise (e.g. noise from air-conditioning systems, cooling fans etc.). In
addition, a high pass filter (Humfilter) reduces very low frequency noise.
On
Echo control is normally set to On to prevent the far end from hearing their own
audio. Once selected, echo cancellation is active at all times. The echo canceller
continuously adjusts itself to the audio characteristics of the room and
compensates for any changes it detects in the audio environment. If the changes in
the audio conditions are very significant the echo canceller may take a second or
two to re-adjust.
Off
You can choose to switch off the echo canceller for the available audio sources.
Echo Control should be switched Off if external echo cancellation or playback
equipment is used.
On+NR
Activates both Echo Control and Noise Reduction.
Note that it is your echo canceller that improves the audio quality experienced by the other
site. When you hear an echo of your own audio it is most likely the far end’s echo canceller
that is malfunctioning.
Tips for improving the echo canceller performance:
.
It is recommended to place the microphone between 1 and 2 meters away from the
persons speaking.
.
.
.
Place the microphone as far as possible from noise sources.
Reduce the volume setting. Ensure that the loudspeakers do not distort the audio.
The echo canceller tries to estimate the echo path from the speaker system to the
microphones. Moving objects change this path; therefore try to avoid moving objects. Be
especially aware of large objects and objects placed close to either the microphone or the
speaker system as these objects will cause severe changes to the echo path.
Avoid putting paper sheets etc. on the microphone.
.
.
.
Avoid moving the microphone or loudspeaker.
In the presence of low frequency noise, enable the noise reduction (NR).

Stereo Settings
Stereo Input Mode (stereo audio)
If Stereo Input mode is on, Audio in 3 and 4 (VCR Left/Right) will behave as a stereo input pair.
The VCR Ducking and AGC setting for VCR will in this case apply to both Audio in 3 and 4.
Audio out to the left loudspeaker will be a mix of Audio in 3 (VCR Left) the far end signal (left or
mono), and Audio out to the right loudspeaker will be a mix of Audio in 4 (VCR Right) and the far
end signal (right or mono).
If Stereo Input Mode is off, Audio out to both loudspeakers will be a mix of Audio in 3 and 4 and
the far end (mono or left+right).
If the system is connected to a Digital NAM, stereo sound on the loudspeakers shall be
present if a stereo input signal is connected to the inputs VCR-Left and VCR-Right or a stereo
signal is received from the Far End.
If the system is not connected to a Digital NAM, stereo sound on the loudspeaker outputs
will be present in the following situations:
.
.
.
If system is idle and a stereo input signal is connected to the inputs VCR-Left and
VCR-Right.
If system is in a call with mic off and a stereo input signal is connected to the inputs
VCR-Left and VCR-Right, or a stereo signal is received from the Far End.
Otherwise the Loudspeaker Left signal will be equal to Loudspeaker Right.

Audio Levelling (AGC)
On
Select On to allow automatic adjustments (Automatic Gain Control) of audio levels.
When On, the AGC maintains the audio signal level at a fixed value by attenuating
strong signals and amplifying weak signals. Very weak signals, i.e. noise alone, will
not be amplified.
Off
Audio levelling is not activated.
Note that to ensure correct behaviour of the AGC, it is crucial that the levels on the input
connectors are adjusted correctly using the audio input level settings. The AGC will not
compensate for severe maladjustment of input levels.
When applying a weak signal in the presence of strong background noise, the AGC might amplify
the background noise as well as the signal. Therefore, in noisy environments, it is advisable to
turn the AGC off.
Example:
In most conferences, the participants will speak at different levels, and be at different
distances from the microphones. As a result, some of the participants would be harder to hear
than others. The AGC corrects this problem by automatically increasing the microphone levels
when “quiet” or “distant” people speak, and by decreasing the microphone levels when
“louder” people speak.

Gatekeeper Discovery
Auto
The system will automatically try to register on any available gatekeeper. If a
gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this
specific gatekeeper will be used. This requires auto discovery on the gatekeeper
as well. If no gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a gatekeeper for
making H.323 calls and hence an IP-address must be specified manually.
Manual The system will use a specific gatekeeper identified by Gatekeeper IP-address.
Gatekeeper IP Address
This is the gatekeeper IP-address that is used if you specify H.323 Call Setup: Gatekeeper and
Gatekeeper Discovery: Manual.
Note that if your system is part of a TANDBERG Expressway™ firewall traversal solution and
is placed outside the firewall, you should register the IP address of your Border Controller as
the Gatekeeper IP address and set H.323 Call Setup to Gatekeeper.
Authentication Mode
Auto
If Authentication Mode is set to Auto and the gatekeeper indicates that it requires
authentication, the endpoint will automatically try to authenticate itself to the
Gatekeeper.
Off
If Authentication Mode is set to Off the system will not try to authenticate itself to a
Gatekeeper, but will still try a normal registration.
Authentication ID / Authentication Password
The system sends the Authentication ID and Password to a Gatekeeper for authentication. The
authentication is a one way authentication from the endpoint system to a Gatekeeper, i.e. the
endpoint is authenticated to the Gatekeeper. If the Gatekeeper indicates that no authentication is
required, the endpoint will still try to register.

NAT
NAT, Network Address Translation, is used when a PC and a videoconferencing system are
connected to a router with NAT support. NAT support in the videoconferencing system enables
proper exchange of audio/video data when connected to an external videoconferencing system
(when the IP traffic goes through an NAT router). When NAT is On, the NAT Server Address will
be shown in the startup-menu: "My IP Address: 10.0.2.1".
On
The system will signal the configured "NAT Address" in place of its own IP-address
within Q.931 and H.245.
Auto
The system will try to determine if the "NAT Address" or the real IP-address should
be used within signalling. This is done to make it possible to place calls to endpoints
on the LAN as well as endpoints on the WAN.
NAT Address
This must be the external/global IP-address to the router with NAT support. Packets sent to the
router will then be routed to the system. In the router, the following ports must be routed to the
system’s IP-address:
Port 1720

Network
Ethernet:
1 x Ethernet (RJ-45 Jack) LAN interface (10/100 Mb) up to 2 Mbps or 2.3 Mbps depending on the
bandwidth option installed.
To connect the system to a LAN, use the Ethernet cable provided by TANDBERG (or a standard
Ethernet cable).
The cable specification is:
1 ------------ 1
2 ------------ 2
3 ------------ 3
6 ------------ 6
If no LAN is available and the codec is connected directly to a computer, use a crossover cable.
The crossover cable specification is:
If such a connection is needed, the system and the PC must use ‘static’ TCP/IP settings because
no DHCP server is controlling the small “LAN”, which has been created between the computer
and the system. When configuring a back-to-back connection between the PC and the system,
make sure both static IP addresses exist on the same subnet.

5.7 Stereo Speaker Kit
Note that the following applies only for systems with a stereo S/PDIF output.
The Stereo Speaker Kit provides an pair of floor-standing loudspeakers in addition to the built-in
DNAM . Using these speakers will enable stereo functionality in your system and thereby
enhance the sound experience.
To experience stereo sound, the stereo speakers have to be connected to the Digital Natural
Audio Module (DNAM) as well as confirming this under Stereo Settings in the main audio menu.
The stereo sound source may either be located at the far end, or locally as a sound source (CD,
DVD) connected to the codec audio AUX/VCR inputs. If using a local stereo sound source, you
also have to enable Stereo I/O mode (On) in the same audio menu, to be able to receive stereo
sound on your system, and to send stereo signals to the far end. See chapter 4.5.4 for more
information.
Check also that the full-range frequency audio coding AAC-LD is enabled (In Call Quality menu,
AAC-LD is checked, and AAC-LD 128 threshold is the same or lower than the call rate you are
planning to use). See chapter Audio Algorithm and AAC-LD 128kbps for more information.
An installation sheet is enclosed in the Stereo Loudspeaker Kit, which also describes
recommended physical speaker placement.
Note that if stereo speakers are enabled in the menu without having any stereo speakers
connected to the Digital NAM, or having other speakers than the TANDBERG stereo
speakers, it may cause the acoustic echo-canceller to malfunction.

5.11 VESA Display Power
Management
Because of the tremendous amount of energy consumed by monitors when operating, the system
will reduce power consumption and extend monitor lifecycle by suspending the (switch off)
monitors and projectors when the system goes into sleep/standby.
This applies for all VESA Display Power Management compliant displays that are connected to
the VGA/DVI output of the system. The display device need to comply with VESA display Power
Management system (DPMS).
Note that this requires a system supplied with a VGA/DVI output.
The VESA DPMS standard consists of four modes, Normal, Standby, Suspend and Off, and
applies to all Sync formats (e.g. VGA).

5.12 Digital Monitor Power
Management
DMPM is monitor power management applied over the digital DVI interface. TANDBERG
supports DMPM in software F2 and above. Six monitor power states are defined.
Monitor On Power state: Transmitter (TANDBERG codec) and receiver (Monitor) are powered
and active. This power state is equivalent with the DPMS normal mode.
Intermediate Power state: When the codec goes from active to standby, it turns off the DVI
transmitter and the monitor can go from Monitor On
Power state to Intermediate Power state.
Active-off Power state: The monitor can go from Intermediate Power state to Active-off Power
state when the monitor timer expires.
Non-Link Recoverable Off Power State: The monitor can enter Non-Link Recoverable Off
Power State when the codec is switched off or if the DVI cable is disconnected. This power state
is equivalent to the DPMS “Off (with no DPMS recovery)” state.
Monitor Power Switch Off Power state: This state can be entered when the power switch on
the monitor is toggled to its off position. This state has two sub-states dependent on if the codec
is switched on or off.

5.13 Extended Display Identification
Data (EDID)
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a VESA standard data format that will allow the
system to communicate its capabilities, including vendor information like the supported VGA-
formats and frequency range limits to a PC connected to the XGA/DVI input.
Note that this requires a system supplied with a XGA/DVI input.
This means that the PC always* will be able to output a valid VGA/DVI signal to the system with
no manual reconfiguration of the PC screen settings.
TANDBERG supports EDID structure v1.3, which adheres to the MS Plug & Play definition.
This standard contains information on product ID, basic display parameters, timing identifications
and detailed timing descriptions.
In F1 and above, TANDBERG will use the EDID information to decide which resolution to use,
800x600 @ 75Hz or 1024x768 @ 60Hz.

This section explains how to carry out basic adjustments and simple tests to ensure that you send
and receive the best possible image and audio quality when using your system.
Iris control and lighting
By default the system camera will use an automatic iris to compensate for changes in lighting. In
addition to this feature, you may further assist the system to maintain the best possible image
quality by paying special attention to environmental lighting and background colors as described
below. Remember the system will send live images of yourself and your immediate surroundings.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Avoid direct sunlight on the subject matter i.e. yourself, the background or onto the
camera lens as this will create harsh contrasts.
If light levels are too low you may need to consider using artificial lighting. As described
above, direct illumination of the subject matter and camera lens should be avoided.
When using artificial lighting, daylight type lamps will produce the most effective results.
Avoid colored lighting.
Indirect light from shaded sources or reflected light from pale walls often produces
excellent results.
Avoid harsh side lighting or strong light from above. Strong sunlight from a window or
skylight may put part or all of the subject matter in shadow or cause silhouetting.
If you still have problems with the iris and lighting, manual adjustment of the camera
parameters might help – see Video Settings menu.
Dim scenes can also be improved by manually adjusting the camera brightness setting.
Background
The appearance of the picture background is very important but easily overlooked. It is important
to remember that the camera also shows what is behind you when in a videoconference. To
ensure a suitable background we recommend you consider the following:
.
.
.
Use a neutrally colored background with a medium contrast and a soft texture, e.g. a
plain curtain with no heavy patterns or strong colors that may adversely tint the whole
scene.
Avoid moving backgrounds such as curtains blowing in a draught, moving objects, or
people walking behind as this may both reduce image quality and distract the attention of
the calling party.
Do not place the camera facing a doorway.
Loudspeaker volume
The audio system will use the Digital Natural Audio Module (DNAM) if available and supported by
the system. The volume of the audio system is controlled by the Volume Control keys on the
system remote control.

If the system has a separate microphone, it should be placed at the front of the table to ensure
that all speech will be detected. The best position for the microphone is at least 2 meters (6.5
feet) in front of the system on a plain, flat table with at least 0.3 meters (12 inches) of table in front
of the microphone.
The document camera should be close to the chair person or a designated controller of the
document camera for ease of use (remember to arrange all the peripherals so that one participant
can reach each of them to point, change the display, tape, and so forth).
The camera supports up to 15 pre-stored camera positions.
The illustration shows three possible camera positions; one for all the participants, one for the
whiteboard and one for the main speaker. The remaining camera presets are then available for
other peripheral equipment, for example a VCR.
Position the system in such a way as to avoid the possibility of somebody inadvertently walking
into the camera’s field of view when entering the room. Other than the conference participants,
there should be no moving items in the sent image.

Appendix 5
Security
The system has several features both to protect from unauthorized use and system access:
Access Code:
When Access Code is enabled, the user will be asked to enter an access code before he/she is
able to make a call. The system will verify if the entered access code is valid by checking the
code with the allowed codes listed in the access.txt file on the ftp-server in the system. If no
access.txt file is uploaded to the system, registration of the code will be done without validation.
E.g. you can enter whatever code you want and have access to the system.
The access.txt file is a plain text file with one line per access code as shown below:
1234
1250
A1
B2
ABC
To upload this file to the system, follow these steps:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Open a DOS-window and go to the folder where the ‘access.txt’ file is located.
Type ftp <IP-address of your local system).
User: press Enter or enter IP-password.
Type “bin” and press Enter.
Go to the user folder, type “cd user”.
Upload the ‘access.txt’ file, type ‘put access.txt’.
Exit from ftp, type "bye".
Administrator Password
Access to the administrator menu on the system unit can be controlled using password
protection. You can set the Administrator Password in Menu Settings, in Security or from the
dataport:
menupassword set <pin-code>. The pin-code should be maximum 5 - five digits. To erase the
password, enter an empty pin-code.
Streaming password
By setting a streaming password in the streaming menu on the system, a password has to be
entered on the streaming client to be able to see the video stream from the system.
IP Password
219
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
D1337703_T2000_MXP_User_Manual
By setting an IP Access Password on the system, all access to the system using IP (Telnet, FTP
and WEB) requires a password. This password can be enabled from telnet or dataport using the
command: ippassword <ip-password>. The default IP username and password is "TANDBERG".
To remove this password, use the command: "ippassword ”. From telnet, this is only possible by
first entering the correct password.
IP Services
The different IP services on the system - FTP, Telnet, Telnet Challenge, HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP
and H.323 can be disabled to prevent access to the system. By using the commands below, the
services can be independently enabled/disabled:
xconfiguration Telnet/TelnetChallenge/FTP/HTTP/HTTPS/H323 Mode: <On/Off>
xconfiguration TelnetChallenge Mode: <On/Off> [port]
xconfiguration SNMP Mode: <On/Off/ReadOnly/TrapsOnly>
SNMP Security alert
This function will notify any Management Application (such as TMS - TANDBERG Management
Suite) if anyone tries to perform Remote Management on the system using an illegal password.
The Security alert that is sent to the Management Application will contain information about the IP
address and the service (WEB, Telnet, FTP) being used for the attempt. If TMS is used, email
notifications or alarms about the attempt can be sent to specified persons.
Encryption
All TANDBERG systems support both AES and DES encryption. By default this feature is
enabled such that when connecting with any other video system or MCU, a TANDBERG system
will attempt to establish a secure conference using AES or DES encryption. The TANDBERG
system will attempt this for both IP and ISDN connections. Where a remote system or MCU
supports encryption, the highest common encryption algorithm will be selected on a port-by-port
basis.
The type and status of the encryption negotiated is indicated by padlock symbols and on-screen
messages. Encryption on the TANDBERG systems is fully automatic, and provides clear security
status indicators;
.
An open padlock indicates that encryption is being initialized, but the conference is not
yet encrypted.
.
.
Single padlock indicates DES encryption.
Double padlock indicates AES encryption.
In addition to on-screen indicators the Call Status menu provides two information fields regarding
call encryption. The first field is the Encryption Code, which will identify either AES or DES. The
second field is the Encryption Check Code and is comprised of an alphanumeric string. This
string will be the same for systems on either side of an encrypted conference. If the Check Codes
do not match, this would indicate that the call has been exposed to a Man In The Middle attack.
When a system with MultiSite functionality hosts a conference, the highest possible encryption
algorithm will be negotiated on a site-by-site basis. MultiSite conferences can therefore support a
mix of AES and DES encrypted endpoints in the same conference. A conference will only be as
secure as its weakest link.
All systems supporting DES encryption can upgrade to AES encryption. Please contact your
TANDBERG representative for more information. The standards supporting the encryption
mechanisms employed by TANDBERG are: AES, DES, H.233, H234 and H.235 (H235v3 & v2 for

backwards compatibility) with extended Diffie Hellman key distribution via H.320, H.323 and
Leased Line connections.
The TANDBERG AES implementation is validated as conforming to the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) Algorithm, as specified in Federal Information Processing Standard Publication
197, Advanced Encryption Standard, by The National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST).

Cisco CallManager registration
Configuring an H.323 client on the CallManager 4.0
The registration of a H.323 client in CallManager is supported on the CallManager (CCM) 4.0
software and forward.
1. To configure the CallManager with an H.323 client, log on to the administration web
interface and go to the phone configuration page.
2. The Phone configuration page is located on: device (top menu) -> Add a New device ->
Phone -> H.323 Client.
3. In the phone configuration page type the IP address of the TANDBERG system in the
Device name field, select device pool and push the insert button.
4. A pop-up box will now appear on the screen and ask you if you would like to configure
the directory number. Push the ok button.
5. You should now see the Directory Number Configuration WEB page. Enter the
E.164/phone number of your TANDBERG system in the Directory number field, and in
the “Forward and Pickup Settings” enter the time of “No Answer Ring Duration”. The time
selected has to have a value from 1 to 300 seconds.
6. Push the Add button to update the CallManager with the directory number settings.
You have now configured the CallManager with a H.323 client and should be able to register the
TANDBERG system to it.When the TANDBERG system is registered to a CallManager, it will be
possible to place and receive calls from this system to any other video and voice systems that are
registered on the same CallManager.

Diagnostic Tools for IP
To use these tools, will require using a PC and setting up a telnet session towards the system.
Q.931
To show Q.931 trace during a call you need to issue the command ‘syslog on’.One can get traces
for RAS, Q.931 and H.245 with this command. It is a complex trace and requires an extensive
knowledge in H.323 signalling to be understood.
Ping
Ping is used to see if the system is able to reach a specific IP-address, using a mechanism in IP
called ICMP. If the system is unable to register to its gatekeeper, or if it is unable to dial a specific
endpoint, one can use ping to see if there is at least an IP-route to the gatekeeper or to the
endpoint. In case you have problems, one would first ping the default gateway, then the
gatekeeper, and then the other endpoint.
Traceroute
Traceroute does exactly that; it traces the route an IP-packet takes to reach its destination and
displays all router hops. Traceroute is very useful for seeing exactly where there is a routing-
problem in the IP-network, and for checking where transport-delay is introduced.
Layer 4 Ports used in H.323 calls
The layer 4 ports used by the system in a H.323 call can be defined as follows:
.
.
Dynamic: The ports are allocated at random from 2048 to 65535.
Static: Will use the predefined layer 4 ports listed in the tables below.

(*) Note: While using MultiSite, if a site is disconnected and reconnected without terminating the
entire conference, the next site to be connected will have a H.245 port outside of the specified
range. If this functionality is required through a firewall, the range of TCP ports can be extended
past 5564. However, if a site is disconnected and reconnected, without ending the conference
enough times one can quickly end up outside of this range again.
