Environmental Issues
Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction in pollution, and thereby helps
save the environment. Our products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce
pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper).
Our products are low energy consuming products.
TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy
Environmental stewardship is important to TANDBERG’s culture. As a global company with
strong corporate values, TANDBERG is committed to being an environmental leader and
embracing technologies that help companies, individuals and communities creatively address
environmental challenges.
TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:
•Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and traffic congestion
•Provide products and services that improve quality of life for our customers
•Produce products that can be recycled or disposed of safely at the end of product life
•Comply with all relevant environmental legislation.
European Environmental Directives
As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment TANDBERG is responsible for
compliance with the requirements in the European Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and
2002/95/EC (RoHS).
The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive is to reduce the impact of disposal of
electrical and electronic equipment at end-of-life. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce the amount
of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring producers to arrange for
collection and recycling. The RoHS Directive bans the use of certain heavy metals and
brominates flame retardants to reduce the environmental impact of WEEE which is land filled or
incinerated.
TANDBERG has implemented necessary process changes to comply with the European RoHS
Directive (2002/95/EC) and the European WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC).
Waste Handling
In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous substances in our
environment and to diminish the pressure on natural resources, we
encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems in your area.
Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end
of life equipment in a sound way.
TANDBERG products put on the market after August 2005 are
marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol that invites you to use
those take-back systems.
Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste administration or
http://www.tandberg.net/recycling if you need more information on the collection and recycling
system in your area.

Information for Recyclers
As part of compliance with the European WEEE Directive, TANDBERG provides recycling
information on request for all types of new equipment put on the market in Europe after August
13th 2005.

product for which you would like to receive recycling information:
•Model number of TANDBERG product
•Your company’s name
•Contact name
•Address
•Telephone number

Digital User Guides
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the printed versions of our User
Guides with a digital CD version. Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one
CD – which can be used with all TANDBERG products – in a variety of languages. The
environmental benefits of this are significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper
are huge. A simple web-based search feature helps you directly access the information you need.
In addition, the TANDBERG video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which
provides a range of useful features and tips. The contents of the CD can still be printed locally,
whenever needed.

1 Introduction
The TANDBERG 2000 MXP provides a reliable, secure and wireless capable video
communication system with superior presentation capabilities for small groups and offices.
Users can dial in from a video system outside the enterprise without being registered to a
gatekeeper
The feature enhancement enables dialing through a TANDBERG Gatekeeper without being
registered to it. This makes it easy to call in from a video system outside the enterprise.
To be able to make such a call, this feature must be enabled in your gatekeeper or border
controller, and the called endpoint must be registered with the enterprise gatekeeper or border
controller.
NEW Users can dial in from a video system outside the enterprise without being
registered to a gatekeeper, i.e. dialing from/using a global IP address.
SIP Services
SIP Services enables the user to use the features Add Call and Transfer. To get the SIP Services
available you select SIP as your Net when you make a call. You must have a SIP registrar/VoIP
solution that supports this.
NEW Enhanced SIP services to enable rich services like call transfer and suspend.
Enables integration into Video and Voice over IP (V2oIP) solutions from
Microsoft, Nortel and Avaya.
Controllable Bandwidth
When setting up a call with H.323 the bandwidth can be controlled by the user by setting the
Presentation Rate.
The Presentation Rate is expressed in percent of the Call Rate and shall reflect the H.323
Presentation Rate settings of the sender.
Graphical View of the Audio Streams
The graphical view gives a visual presentation of the active audio streams for the input sources
and the output sources.
In addition the user can play a Test Tone for each audio input and output source.
Presets and Extension Numbers
While in a call, the user presses a number key on remote control to:
•add another call

The system can be configured to act automatic or to give the user a choice of what to do every
time the user presses a number key on the remote control, when in a call.
Local Audio Detection
The Local Audio Detection is a security feature to detect if the monitor is turned off when your
system is in a call. If this happens the system will disconnect the ongoing call and start an alarm /
warning signal on the internal alert speaker on the codec. This will prevent audio and video to be
sent from a TANDBERG system without the user noticing.
NEW Ensure privacy by automatically disconnect calls if eavesdropping has been
detected.
Audio Quality
High-performance audio provides a richer, more complete visual communication experience. The
MPEG4 AAC-LD standard is used to provide true standards-based CD-quality, stereo audio.
Users can record and send stereo audio from stereo presentation and playback sources using
PCs, DVDs and VCRs using the proper cables.
Disturbance from GSM mobile phones and Blackberry devices is eliminated by a noise filter.

videoconferences and comprises:
Digital ClarityTF which transmits exceptionally high-quality, native resolution video.
Duo VideoTF/H.239 which allows participants at the far end to simultaneously watch a
presenter on one screen and a live PC presentation in native resolution on a second
monitor (up to SXGA on compatible monitors).
PC PresenterTF which allows a PC connection via standard DVI/VGA cable supporting up
to SXGA resolution.
PC SoftPresenterTF which shows PC images via a LAN connection supporting XGA

1.1 At a Glance
Camera
The main camera is
mounted on top of the
monitor. The main camera
includes a high quality
color camera with a fast
pan/tilt/zoom/focus action.
The main camera is
controlled by the system’s
infra-red remote control
and operates pan/tilt, focus
and zoom.
Monitor
The monitor displays the
far-end and near-end
videoconferencing sites in
addition to the menus.
Note that the monitor
pictures/drawings used in
this manual might differ
from the actual monitor
model shipped with the
system.
Codec
The codec is the heart of
the system. Its main task is
the compression of
outgoing video, audio and
data, the transmission of
this information to the far
end and the decompress-
sion of the incoming
information - the name
codec comes from a
combination of the two
words compression and
decompression
Remote Control
The remote control is used to control all functions of the system. If the screen saver is activated
(black monitor), touching the remote control will automatically wake up the system. The remote
control uses 4 AAA batteries. The system will tell you when batteries are running low. Change
the batteries at the back of the remote control.
The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters. For users sitting in an open plan office, this
can cause problems. Use the little, white switch placed under the batteries to change the reach

of the signal from 20 meters to 2 meters. This will prevent you from unintentionally controlling
another video system, when you control your own system.
Microphone
The high quality table microphone is designed to be placed on a table during a videoconference.
The ideal location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the
system. The microphone cable should always point towards the system. The system will
automatically equalize sound levels. Loud and soft voices are picked up and transmitted to the
far end at approximately the same level.
