When you configure the Polycom Touch Control to pair with a particular
Polycom HDX system, the Polycom Touch Control makes an IP connection to
the HDX system. If the connection is lost for any reason, the Polycom Touch
Control automatically attempts to restore the connection.
If your HDX system is restarted often, the system might acquire a new IP
address after you restart it. In this case, the Polycom Touch Control might not
be able to automatically pair with the HDX system again. If you use your HDX
system in this way, you can enter a host name instead of an IP address when
you pair the Touch Control with the HDX system. The host name, also referred
to as the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), is the <Host Name>@<Domain
Name> used in the LAN properties. Refer to
page 2-2 for a description of the LAN properties.
The Polycom Touch Control connects to the HDX system over a TLS socket,
providing a reliable, secure communication channel between the two systems.
The Polycom Touch Control initiates all pairing connections and attaches to
port 4122 on the HDX system.
You can pair the Polycom Touch Control and Polycom HDX system during
initial Polycom Touch Control setup, as described in the steps on the previous
page.
After you have completed Polycom Touch Control setup, you can pair to a
different HDX system using Polycom Touch Control settings and unpair using
the web interface. Refer to the following section for more information.
The following table describes the pairing states:

Description
The Polycom Touch Control is successfully
connected to the Polycom HDX system through the
pairing process, including providing the Polycom
HDX admin ID and password. A single Polycom
Touch Control can be paired to multiple Polycom
HDX systems and, once paired, the Polycom Touch
Control can switch between HDX systems without
needing to enter admin IDs or passwords.
The ability to pair or connect to the Polycom Touch
Control is disabled on the Polycom HDX system. To
learn how to unpair, refer to Unpairing
page 10-10.
