incoming video calls when the ViewStation automatically
answers incoming video calls.

as normal.
When the ViewStation is muted, both sites are notified with
a microphone image located in the lower left side of the
main screen. A red light illuminates on the microphone pod
when the near site is muted.
PiP or Picture-in-Picture: The PiP feature allows the near site to
adjust near camera views while in a videoconference. In this
configuration, the Camera icon in the top right corner disappears
when the remote control is placed on a flat surface.

the lower right corner until the video call is completed.

option allows users at the far site to control the camera at the near
site.

angle of the camera on the near site by pressing the FAR

of the camera. When a far site user presses the FAR or
ZOOM button on the remote control, any attempts to change
