If you would like to make an audio-only call (using the Codec like a normal telephone), select the AUDIO icon from the Home 
Page. 
 
To complete the audio call, follow these steps: 

1)  Select the type of call (ISDN, IP-H323, IP-SIP, NIC) from the drop-down menu.  

2)  Enter the number or the alias (IP) you want to call using the keys on the remote control or the virtual keypad. 
3)  Move to the CALL icon and press OK to make the call, or press the CALL remote control key. 

To end communication, use the DISCONNECT remote control key: if enabled, the codec will ask you to confirm disconnection. 
 

The Codec can manage secure videoconference sessions via encrypted connections, in both point-to-point and multipoint 
sessions. To do this, the encryption function must be enabled: for more information, refer to the “Encryption” section of this 
manual. 
Once encryption is properly configured, you can make a secure call by following the same procedure described for a standard 

call. 
 
Useful information: 
The encryption status can be checked on the status bar. 
If the encryption is enabled and configured, an icon showing a padlock is displayed on the status bar. 

If the padlock is yellow and open (

), encryption has been enabled but the function is not active. 

If the padlock is green and closed, encryption is active (

). 

If the padlock is red and closed, encryption is activated only in transmission (

) 

 

If you are in the Home Page and receive a call, a notification will be displayed in a window showing the caller’s number. If the 
automatic answer function (described in a later section) is not enabled, you will be asked whether or not to accept the call. If 

you are in a different page, you will be asked to accept or reject the call whether or not the automatic answer function is 
enabled.
