Mounting Your New
Custom mounting blocks are included with the Vista™to accommodate mounting on the 34-inch
VGA monitor, or the s-video monitor. See examples at the left.
To install the mounting blocks, carefully position the Vista™on its back, remove the appropriate
pair of mounting blocks from the plastic bag and mount to the Velcro™ patches as shown

(Mounting on a flat surface does not require either block design.)

Selecting a Location
The room you choose for setup should be free of general work areas and large enough for free movement. Doorways, columns, or other distracting elements should not be within
the setup space.
Environmental Concerns
When choosing the system’s location, avoid general work areas with noise and high traffic; and your room size should be large enough to accommodate the appropriate viewing
distance for the monitor size.

Quad BRI Connections
The optional Quad BRI network adapter supports ISDN BRI networks. It requires the S/T interface of a BRI NT1 device in an ISDN network. If your system has the Quad BRI option
installed, follow the instructions below to connect your lines correctly.
Note: The NT1 interface may be provided by the ISDN service provider.
Connecting BRI Lines to the Quad BRI Network Adapter
You can connect as many as four lines to the Quad BRI card (see illustration). If you use fewer than four lines, connect them to the card in the order described in this table:
Important Note!
The ISDN connections on the Quad BRI adapter are numbered 1 through 4 from right-to-left.
Number of BRI lines Quad BRI card ports used
1 1
2 1 and 2
3 1, 2 and 3
4 1, 2, 3 and 4
Note: Your ISDN setup is not complete until ISDN DN (Directory Number) and, if
required, SPID (Service Provider ID) settings are configured.

Powering up the System
There two three kinds of power buttons on the back of the unit – Power and Reset (located above the LAN connection). The momentary Power button acts as a soft-start, while the
Reset button serves only as a restart function. Once all connections are made, press the red Power Button to soft-start the system.
Using the QuickTouch™RCU
The QuickTouch™RCU (Remote Control Unit) is your primary navigation source while configuring your Vista™. It is a dual-function device that allows the user to “switch” from hand-
held mode to desktop mode. When in the “open” position, a fully functional keyboard is available. When in “closed” position, the device is a remote control unit. The QuickTouch™
device allows control of all applications and options.
Launching the Online User Guide
An icon is placed on your desktop for easy access to the online User Guide. This Guide introduces the user to videoconferencing basics and instructs how to use the Vista™
software with your conferencing tools. Your primary conferencing tool for the Vista™is the QuickTouch™RCU. See that section of the User Guide for more details.
