Enabling Basic Mode
Basic Mode is a limited operating mode that uses H.261 for video and G.711
for audio. It provides administrators with a workaround for interoperability
issues that cannot be solved using other methods. The Basic Mode setting stays
in effect until you change it. The Call Statistics screen indicates whether the
system is operating in Basic Mode.
To enable Basic Mode using the system’s web interface:
1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the system’s IP address, for example,
http://10.11.12.13
, to go to the system’s web interface.
3. Go to Admin Settings > Network > Call Preference.
4. Select Enable Basic Mode.
To enable Basic Mode in the system’s user interface:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > Call Preferences.
2. Select Basic Mode.
To view the Basic Mode indicator:

2. Select .
3. View the Call Type field.
“(Basic Mode)” is appended to the data in the Call Type field when the
VSX system or V Series system is operating in Basic Mode.
