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 systems  
infra-red remote control and operates pan/tilt, focus and zoom.  
Monitors  
The monitor displays the far-end and near-end videoconferencing sites in addition to the  
menus, video from connected video sources and high-resolution images. You can also  
connect a second monitor for displaying self-view, still images and Duo Video.  
Codec  
The Codec is the heart of the system. The main task for the Codec 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. Hence the name Codec.  
Cabinet  
The cabinet is easily movable with large wheels and handles. The Codec is located inside the  
cabinet. Inside the cabinet there is room for additional equipment, e.g. a VCR.

1 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 batteries from the backside 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 your neighbor's video system, when you control your own system.  
Microphone  
The high quality table microphone is designed to use on a table during a videoconference.  
You can connect up to three microphones. 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.

TANDBERG 3000 MXP User Manual  
Call Type  
Call Type can be set to Video Call (default) or Telephone Call. Using  
Video, the system will try to connect as a video call. Some network  
configurations will cause the fallback to a telephone call to fail. In these  
cases, you should set the call type to telephone and the call will be placed  
as a telephone type only. 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 and H.323 (LAN). The system  
will, by default, try to connect using Auto Network. That means that the  
system will automatically use the right network depending on the number  
you have dialed.  
If Auto is selected, the system will select a network based upon the  
following criteria:  
. If an IP-address (e.g. 10.12.34.56 ) is entered, H.323 (LAN) is  
selected.  
. If the first digits in the number match those set in H.323 Prefix  
under H.323 Settings, LAN is selected.  
. In other cases, ISDN (H.320) is selected.  
If you need to ensure that you make an H.323 or ISDN call, specify this by  
choosing H.323 or ISDN. ISDN indicates ISDN-BRI, ISDN-PRI, Leased  
E1/T1 and External Networks. If a gatekeeper is present, you may place  
IP-calls using telephone-stylenumbers (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 chapter 4.8.2.2 H.323  
Settings for more information about gatekeepers).  
Bandwidth  
Bandwidth decides the quality of the video picture. The system will, by  
default, connect using Auto Bandwidth. This means that the system will  
establish a connection using a proper bandwidth for your call. If a call is  
added or dropped during a meeting, the call will automatically maintain the  
optimal connection without interrupting the call in progress. This is called  
downspeeding. The system regulates the bandwidth according to how  
many calls that are in the conference.  
The typical bandwidths used for ISDN and IP calls are 384kbps and  
768kbps respectively. When bandwidth is set to auto, the unit will default  
to 384kbps for ISDN calls and 768kbps for IP calls. When downspeeding is  
enabled, the system will automatically adjust to a lower speed if the  
receiver can not handle the default bandwidth. See table below for more  
information about the different bandwidths.  
Restrict  
(56k)  
A restricted call is a call that 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.  
An indicator (56k)will be shown beside the number.  
Use Set as  
Default  
If you want to change the default Call Settings, make the desired changes  
to the Call Settings and Press Set as Default. Press OK to Save. These  
settings will now be the default settings for all future manually dialed calls.

*Some software versions and networks do not support all channel selections.  
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 you may have to dial both ISDN numbers separately to call those systems.  
These types of calls are often referred to as H.221 calls, 2x64 calls, or 2x56 calls, as you are  
making 2 x 64 kbps or 2 x 56 kbps calls to the same system. To place this type of call, set  
bandwidth to 128 kbps and Network to ISDN. A field for 2nd number pops up in Call Settings.  
Enter the first number in the call menu and 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. TCS-4 is used to address different systems on a LAN, when  
dialing in 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 calling to external MCUs requiring a password (TSC-1), this password can be added  
after the star (*). If no password is specified, a menu will prompt you to enter the password  
(after connecting to the MCU).

3.11.3 PC Presenter (DVI/XGA Input)  
(Optional feature)  
Users often have their presentations on a laptop that is brought into the meeting room.  
Remember to connect your PC to the codec before you press the Presentation button. Note  
that the image will appear smoother on the system if your presentation is already displaying in  
full screen on your PC prior to connecting your PC to the video system.  
Plugging a PC into the system is made extremely simple through the PC Presenter, avoiding  
the need for any additional hardware such as a projector, PC/Video converter or extra cables.  
How to connect PC to the codec with the DVI/VGA cable:  
1. Connect the VGA-DVI cable to the PC Presenter (PC DVI-I in) connector on the  
codec.  
2. Connect the VGA-DVI cable to your PC (VGA Output).  
3. When the PC is connected to the codec, hit the Presentation key to display the PC  
image on the system.  
If no PC image is displayed on your monitor, make sure that your PC is set to activate your  
VGA output. On most laptop PCs you must press a special key combination to switch the PC  
image from the PC screen to the video screen.  
Note that the DVI/VGA input is complient with VESA Extended Display Identification Data  
(EDID) and will be able to reconfigure the PCs screen settings if it is currently configured to a  
VGA format that the system doesnt support (see 5.12 EDID)

3.11.5 Duo VideoTF/H.239  
(Optional feature)  
With Duo Video you have the opportunity to show two different live video streams  
simultaneously, main video and Duo Video. 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, Duo Video starts automatically if both local and remote system supports Duo  
Video. If one of the systems does not support Duo Video, no Duo Video will be established  
and your presentation will be showed on your main video.  
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 Duo Video in addition to main camera. End the Duo Video presentation  
by pressing presentation key again.  
In Presentation Settings (see chapter 4.3 Presentation Settings), you can put Duo Video to  
Manual. That means that Duo Video will not start automatically.  
Example:  
Start a meeting with main camera as video source. Press the presentation key on the  
remote control to start a PC presentation.  
A dialog box appears where you can choose to show PC as Duo Video or not. This is  
handy if you not always want to use Duo Video.  
Duo Video and Bandwidth  
Using Duo Video, 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.  
Duo Video borrows bandwidth from main video. When Duo Video is closed, the bandwidth is  
returned to the main video.  
Controlling camera, changing video source and camera presets in a Duo Video call.  
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.  
The main monitor will display incoming video and the 2nd monitor will display outgoing video  
with Duo Video in full. Outgoing main video will be displayed in PIP. For a single monitor  
system, the Duo Video will be shown in full screen and the incoming video in PIP. Most Duo  
Video sources are not possible to control with move camera and presets. Move camera and  
presets will therefore work on the main camera also when you have Duo Video, with one  
exception. If you use a second camera (aux) as Duo Video, move camera and presets will  
work on Duo Video. If you want to control the main camera, press Move Camera from the  
main menu and choose Near End Camera.

Calling in to a MultiSite  
Any system can be part of a MultiSite conference by calling in to a MultiSite. The dial-in  
numbers 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.

3 General Use  
. 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.329 to the other  
participants that support Duo Video and/or H.329. This means that any participant can send  
Duo Video and the MultiSite will transmit it to the other participants. The participants that do  
not support Duo Video or H.329 will only receive Main Video.  
Bandwidth for MultiSite calls  
If the MultiSite system does not have enough bandwidth to add another site, the system will  
automatically downspeed to allow an additional site to be added to the conference. Be aware  
of that Far End must support downspeeding and must have enough bandwidth.  
Downspeeding can be time consuming. In order to optimize connection time, use low  
bandwidth in the first call.  
Example: The system has 512 kbps available and you want to connect 3 sites in addition  
to the host.  
1. Begin the first call with Auto. As you add more participants with Auto Call Settings,  
bandwidths will downspeed. This is the simplest way to establish a MultiSite call,  
but downspeeding will lengthen the connection time.  
2. To save time, specify 128 kbps for the calls. The system will end up with 4x128  
kbps = 512 kbps.  
The video calls in a conference do not have to use the same bandwidth. If you have  
enough bandwidth available, you can use 128 kbps on one call, while 384 kbps or any  
other bandwidth on another call in the same MultiSite conference.  
MultiSite supports both Voice Switched and Split Screen mode (see chapter 3.12.2 MultiSite  
Layout for more about Layouts). The system has Auto Split as default picture mode.  
Mix ISDN/LAN

By connecting MultiSite systems together, it is possible to connect even more sites in a  
cascaded MultiSite (see example below). All connections can use any combination of  
ISDN/IP. The host can connect up to 5 other video systems with MultiSite functionality. The  
cascaded systems can connect to 4 other video sites. These systems will automatically run  
Voice Switched mode and transmit a full screen image to the host. In this case you get 20  
participants in the cascaded MultiSite conference.

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 codecs 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.  
Streaming  
Source  
. Auto: Enables streaming of both local and far end video.

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.  
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:  
Audio Technica  
AT871R  
Audio Technica  
AT851R  
+3dB (default)  
+7dB  
TANDBERG Audio  
Science  
+19.5dB  
Audio inputs 4 and 5 are set to a default level which is adhered to by most manufacturers  
of audio-visual equipment and is a level at which most audio-visual equipment (CD-players,  
VCRs or DVDs) will work.  
4.5.2 Outputs  
Audio out 1 - 2  
Audio out 1 is intended for connection to televisions or audio amplifiers.  
Audio out 2 is intended for connection to a VCR or other recording equipment. The signal is a  
mix of audio from far end and local end (not from Audio in 4).  
Note that audio out 2 never should be connected to a loudspeaker placed in the same room  
as the microphones connected to the system. This will cause howlingand possible damage  
to the speaker system. If an output is Off, no audio will be sent to that output.

If Out 1 Mode is set to Auto, the system will select analog or digital (SPDIF) mode dependent  
on the detected Audio Module. If a TANDBERG Digital NAM is detected, SPDIF mode will be  
selected, otherwise analog mode will be selected.  
Setting the Out 1 Mode to either Analog or SPDIF will override the auto-detected mode.  
Audio Module  
Select Audio Module according to the type of Audio Module installed if this is not  
automatically detected. The Audio Module setting is only available if the audio module of the  
system is unidentified.  
Level Settings  
Adjust the audio output levels according to the parameters of the external audio equipment  
connected. These levels should only be adjusted when installing new audio equipment. The  
default settings are correct for the TANDBERG Digital Natural Audio module and for most  
consumer electronics devices (televisions, VCRs, etc.). The volume keys on the remote  
control adjust the level of output 1 (the speaker output). The volume control has no effect on  
other outputs.  
4.5.3 Echo Control  
Mic 1-2 and Audio 3  
Each of the 2 microphone inputs and Audio input 3 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 ends echo  
canceller that is malfunctioning.

persons speaking. By using several microphones, the ratio distance loudspeaker-to-  
mic/mic-to-speaker can be increased. Increasing this ratio improves the echo  
canceller performance.  
. Place all microphones as far as possible from noise sources.  
. Reduce the volume setting. Ensure that the loudspeaker does 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).  
4.5.4 Stereo Settings  
Stereo Input mode (stereo audio)  
If stereo Input mode is activated, audio input 3 and 4 will behave as a stereo input pair. The  
VCR Ducking and AGC setting for audio input 4 will in this case apply to both audio input 3  
and 4.  
If Stereo Input Mode is off, Audio out 2 will be a mix of audio input 3, microphones and the far  
end (mono or left+right). If Stereo Input Mode is on, Audio out 2 will be a mix of the  
microphones and the far end (mono or left+right).  
Note that you are able to receive stereo through Audio out 1 (S/PDIF) independent of this  
setting.  
4.5.5 Audio Leveling (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 leveling is not activated.  
Note that to ensure correct behavior 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 quietor distantpeople speak, and by decreasing the  
microphone levels when louderpeople speak.  
4.5.6 Alert Tones and Volume  
Video Call Alert Tone and Telephone Alert Tone  
To help distinguish between incoming video calls and ordinary telephone calls, it is

NAT  
NAT, Network Address Translation, is used in small LANs, often home offices, when a PC  
and a videoconferencing system is 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 (NAT)".  
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 codec. In the router, the following ports must be routed to  
the codecs IP-address:

4.8.2.3 SNMP Settings  
SNMP Settings  
SNMP Trap Host identifies the IP-address of the SNMP manager. SNMP (Simple Network  
Management Protocol) is used for monitoring and configuring of different entities in a network.  
The system's SNMP Agent responds to requests from SNMP Managers (a PC program etc.).  
SNMP traps are generated by the agent to inform the manager about important events.  
Traps can be sent to multiple SNMP Trap Hosts. Enter the IP address of up to three SNMP  
managers. All traps will then be sent to the hosts listed.  
SNMP Community names are used to authenticate SNMP requests. SNMP requests must  
have a passwordin order to receive a response from the SNMP agent in the codec. Note  
that the SNMP Community name is case sensitive. The default password is "public".

different purposes such as file transfer, application sharing and more. When  
using this mode, it is necessary to have a TANDBERG system at the far end.  
Control  
The control interface provided by the data port supports a subset of the  
Hayes command set as well as a comprehensive set of system specific  
commands. This mode maintains communication with the data ports  
command interpreter at all times. All features available from the hand-held  
remote control can be accessed through the data port.  
Modem  
Allows you to control the system externally via a PC as in Control Mode.  
Once a call is established, Data port 1 will automatically switch to Data  
mode. When the call disconnects, Data port 1 switches back to Control

Yellow alarm or Remote Alarm Indicator (RAI) means that the system is receiving framing  
info, but in this framing info the other side tells the system that it is not reading the systems  
transmitted framing info. Typically, this may be a broken connector in the TX part of the  
system PRI cable. This could also indicate weak or noisy signal in the TX part of the system  
PRI cable.  
PRI Blue Alarm  
Blue alarm means that network on the far side of the CSU is unavailable.  
Example:  
The system is connected via a CSU (i.e. a NT Network Termination) as follows:  
SystemcableACSUcableBNetwork  
If a CSU loses framing/sync from the network (example: a bad cable B), it shall no  
longer send valid framing out on cable A towards the system. Instead it transmits "Blue  
Alarm". Seen from a system receiving blue alarm, this means that the network on the  
far side of the CSU is unavailable.  
4.9.4 System Selftest  
The system performs a check to determine internal hardware integrity. System Selftest is  
useful when you want to check if your network connection is active.

6.4 Appendix 4  
Environmental considerations  
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). The volume of the audio  
system is controlled by the Volume Control keys on the system remote control.

6.5 Appendix 5  
Guidelines for setting up videoconferencing rooms  
The following are a set of guidelines to consider when either building a videoconferencing  
room, or using an existing room for videoconferencing.  
Lighting:  
. Low Contrast desired for light  
Audio:  
. Noise Floor preferred less than  
intensity. No dark spots.  
. Intensity @ table 800 - 1400 Lux  
as measured with an Incident light  
meter.  
44dBC.  
. Reverb Time 0,3 to 0,5 sec.  
Ventilation:  
. Keep in mind Noise Floor.  
. Velocity = Noise. Therefore keep  
velocity of air low.  
. Block sunlight from entering room.  
Seating Area (Table):  
. Should allow all participants to see  
Monitors.  
Room:  
. Should be located away from  
noise.  
. Should not have windows.  
. Doors should be located off  
camera.  
. Should allow camera to seeall  
participants.  
. Non-shiny non-patterned  
preferably light grey surface (if  
table used).  
Walls:  
. Color: Generally high contrast  
color desired. Light blue is  
commonly used.  
. Acoustically reflective surfaces  
(such as glass or concrete) should  
be covered with curtains or sound  
treatment.  
How to prepare a typical room for videoconferencing:  
The diagram below shows a typical room designed to obtain the best results when using the  
system.

TANDBERG 3000 MXP User Manual  
The microphone 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 cameras field of view when entering the room. Other than the conference  
participants, there should be no moving items in the sent image.

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.txtfile is located.  
. Type ftp <IP-address of your local system).  
. User: press Enter or enter IP-password.  
. Type binand press Enter.  
. Go to the user folder, type cd user.  
. Upload the access.txtfile, 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 videostream from the system.  
IP Password  
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 password is "TANDBERG".  
127  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
TANDBERG 3000 MXP User Manual  
To remove this password, use the command: "ippassword . From telnet, this is only possible  
by first entering the correct password.  
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:  
services <telnet/telnet challenge/ftp/http/https/h323/remote-parameter/remote-software>  
<enable/disable>  
services <snmp> <read-only/enable/disable>  
services <telnetchallenge> <enable/disable> [port]  
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. Even though conference participants  
may have negotiated and are running AES encryption, if just one participant has negotiated  
DES encryption, the AES system will display the single padlock symbol to advise all users of  
the lowest encryption mechanism currently in effect.  
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.

Multiple Camera support:  
The figure below is an example of how multiple cameras should be connected:  
Ethernet:  
To connect the system to a LAN, use the Ethernet cable provided by TANDBERG (or a  
standard Ethernet cable). 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 staticTCP/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.  
BRI ISDN Interface:  
To connect the system to BRI, use the ISDN cable provided by TANDBERG (or a standard  
BRI cable).

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 Settingsenter 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 predefinded 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.
