Setting Up and Enabling the Polycom Desktop Connector

Before you can enable and use the PDC, you need to download the PDC application from the
Voice Applications website, install the application on your computer, and activate PDC on your phone.
To enable the PDC, you need to enter your computer access credentials to the phone. You can provide
this information to your phone using one of two methods: Direct or Indirect. The method you use depends
on how your phone and computer are set up.
After you install the software, you need to make changes to your phone to establish a connection to your
computer and provide an exception to your firewall or anti-virus software to unblock the PDC program.
Use the Direct Method
If your phone and computer are connected using an Ethernet cable, use the direct method to enable the
PDC. Using this method, your phone automatically detects your computer's access credentials.
Procedure
1. Click Start > Programs > Polycom > Polycom Desktop Connector.
The PDC icon is displayed as an active program on your taskbar, as shown next.
2. On your phone, navigate to Settings > Basic >PDC Configuration.
