Modular Video Conferencing System

Quick Reference Guide

# Purpose

The Purpose of this guide is to provide National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) personnel with a handy reference in performing
several key functions of the Touch Panel Control System.

# Scope

The Scope of this document covers the step-by-step process associated
with several key functions of the Touch Panel Control System for NASA.

# Overview

In the last 40 years, mankind's quest for knowledge and self discovery
has reached beyond the boundaries of the Earth to the distant stars that
fill our night's skies. In the forefront of this amazing journey, NASA
has been charged with dedicating its resources to expanding mankind's
presence in this new and seemingly limitless frontier. NASA's mission
seeks to serve and inspire Americans as well as the rest of our world in
space exploration, while bringing tremendous benefits to the quality of
each individual life.

Part of NASA's mission is to advance and communicate scientific
knowledge and understanding of the Earth, the solar system, the
universe, and the technology employed for use in the space environment
and various programs. Because of this essential need, multimedia
services (including voice, data, imagery, and video) and technology must
not only be kept current, but meet any future demands placed on it.

The Touch Screen System now being employed by NASA is a state-of-the-art
wired touch panel scheme, which employs a combination of programmable
button functions with the dynamics of multimedia devices. The system
also utilizes customized color screen menus, providing a user-friendly
interface that is fully expandable.

# Placing a Video Call

Next use the *Arrow* keys to navigate and highlight the *Speed* option.
With the *Keypad*, punch-in the correct speed of the connection. After
this, press the *Enter* button. The call will then be dialed.

**STEP 6:**

To end the call, press the *Call/Hangup* button. The system will then
ask you to confirm terminating the call. Press the *Enter* button and
the call will then end.
