Before You Begin
Visually inspect the equipment that you have received for any damages. If any damage is
noticed, call Gentner's Technical Support Department at [phone] to request a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number. All returns must be packed in their original shipping containers
and must be properly marked and identified with an RMA number.
You will need to obtain a power cord from your local electrical parts supplier if you do not live
in the United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland or Europe (CE).
Where Do I Start?
(The do it yourself basics)
Carefully review this Users Guide before you begin your installation. Exercise every safety
precaution in your installation to protect yourself and your investment.

There are 3 different network configuration options available on the V.35 APV200IP. The 3
options are Leased line (T1, E1, PRI), RS-366 dialing (for dialing video numbers), and DTR
dialing (for numbers stored in the IMUX). To assist in the proper setup and configuration, a
brief description of each menu option specific toV.35 configuration is shown in this document.
Please refer to your Gentner APV200IP manual for all other menus and their respective
descriptions.
The Setup Genie
After initial power on and boot up, you will enter the Setup Genie. Follow all instructions
carefully.
You can make your desired selection by using the < > buttons on the remote control.

Step 3. Using the up/down (tu) arrow
buttons select the type of video signal your
primary input device (camera, VCR) will
provide. Press Enter to continue.
Step 4. Using the up/down (tu) arrow
buttons select the type of video signal your
display device (TV, monitor) requires. Press
Enter to continue.

V.35 9
Step 5. Using the up/down (tu) arrow
buttons select your V.35 dial type. Press
Enter to continue.
Selecting the Leased line option
This is a direct connection from one location to another location, there are no dialing capabilities.
The V.35 APV200IP can only connect to the location at the other end of the leased telephone
line or private network. Select this option when the V.35 APV200IP is attached to a
CSU/DSU or DCE device. Only Port A on the V.35 APV200IP is connected. The RS366
interface is not used for this application.
Selecting the RS-366 option
This allows you to dial to any location using an external DCE network device or IMUX. The
external DCE device must have an RS-366 connection. The dial digits are sent to the DCE via
the RS366 interface. When dialing an H.221 call Port A and B are both used, where bonded
calls use only Port A. Select this option when attaching to an IMUX. The IMUX must be
configured for RS366 dialing.
Note: The set up and configuration of the IMUX is the responsibility of the systems integrator or
the end user.
Selecting the DTR option
Select this option to instruct the APV200IP to raise the Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
interface signal to place a call to a telephone number stored in the IMUX. The IMUX must be
configured for DTR dialing and have the telephone number stored in its call directory. In this
application, the APV200IP does not send dial digits to the IMUX.

V.35 10
Step 6. Using the up/down (tu) arrow
buttons select your profile type. Press Enter to
continue.
Selecting the correct Profile type
Consult your DCE equipment manufacturer’s
documentation to determine if a prefix or suffix
is required in the call profile to activate the RS-
366 dialing procedure.
Step 7. Enter your call profile information for
the type of calls that you make. Use the left
(w) arrow button to backspace and the
up/down (tu) arrow buttons to advance to
the next line. Press Enter to continue.
Selecting the correct Call Profiles
Consult your DCE equipment
manufacturer’s documentation to
determine if a prefix or suffix is
required in the call profile to
activate the RS-366 dialing
procedure.
Example:
In the Call profiles menu, select
64K 2 channel BOND, and enter
#012. In the
Dial menu, when you select the
call type of 2Ch 64K (128), the
#012 will automatically be added
to the dialing string.

does not allow a remote caller to control their camera.
Camera presets
Presets can be set for both the local or remote cameras. The local presets will be saved if you

V.35
The V.35 APV200IP has been introduced to accommodate Non-ISDN BRI applications
through the use of external network equipment. This APV200IP has two high-density, HD-
44 high-speed serial data ports, which can be configured to operate as a V.35, RS449, or RS530
interface. In addition, the V.35 APV200IP has two integrated RS366 dialing interfaces.
The V.35 APV200IP is a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device and connects to a wide
variety of external V.35/RS449/RS530 Data Communication Equipment (DCE) devices using
RSI cable sets. The V.35 APV200IP does not have a built in IMUX or telephone network
interface.
The V.35 APV200IP supports operation on leased (dedicated) digital telephone lines, dial-up
(PSTN) digital lines, or over a satellite link. An encryption device may be installed between the
APV200IP V.35 port and the DCE device to provide secure video conferencing. The V.35
APV200IP operates at bit rates of 56Kbps to 384Kbps. The bit rate must be a multiple of
56Kbps or 64Kbps.
Gentner supplies cable sets for attachment to various DCE devices. The interface cable set must be
ordered separately with each V.35 APV200IP. Each set consists of two cables. Use the
following chart to order the correct cable set:
Part
Cable number DTE DCE
RS530/RS366 830-000-029 DSUB 44M (2) DSUB 25M
RS449/RS366 830-000-027 DSUB 44M RS366 (1) DSUB 25M
(Y-cable) RS449 (1) DSUB 37M
V.35/RS366 830-000-028 DSUB 44M RS366 (1) DSUB 25M
(Y-cable for use with ADTRAN CSU/DSU) V.35 (1) Winchester 34M
Direct connect to 830-000-026 DSUB 44M (1) DSUB 44M
an Ascend IMUX

V.35 15
The V.35 APV200IP has two HD-44 data/dialing ports, Port A and Port B (see below). Port
Ais the primary serial data port and is used for all incoming and outgoing calls. Port B is the
secondary serial data port and is used for the second channel in H.221 calls.
The DCE device will direct incoming H.221 calls to Port A and/or Port B. The DCE device will
direct incoming bonded calls to Port A.
A typical DCE device will have a MASTER or Primary port, which connects to the
APV200IP Port A. Some DCE devices will have a SLAVE or Secondary port, which
connects to theAPV200IP Port B. The actual DCE device port names vary with the
manufacturer. An external IMUX is considered a DCE device.

V.35 16

Note: Any menu setting changes made will
not be saved while a call is active, the call
must be terminated so changes can be
saved.
