Parameter Description
addressbook Dials a directory (address book) entry. Requires the
name of the entry.
“addr book name” The name of the directory (address book) entry. The
name may be up to 25 characters. Use quotation marks
around strings that contain spaces. For example:
“John Doe”
.
auto Dials a video call number dialstr1 at speed of type h323
or h320. Requires the parameters “speed” and “dialstr”.
Allows the user to automatically dial a number. The
system first attempts H.323 and if that fails, rolls over to
H.320. Deprecated. Instead of this command, Polycom
recommends using
dial manual and not specifying a
call type.
“speed” Valid data rate for the network.
“dialstr” , “dialstr1” ,
“dialstr2”
Valid ISDN or IP directory number.
manual Dials a video call number dialstr1 at speed of type h323
or h320. Requires the parameters “speed” and
“dialstr1”.
Use
dial manual “speed” “dialstr” “type” when
you do not want automatic call rollover or when the
dialstring might not convey the intended transport (for
example, an extension with an IP gateway might look
like an ISDN number, but in fact corresponds to an IP
address).
56|64 Specifies speed for two-channel calls.
