If you use a third-party USB extension cable to increase the distance between the
tabletop unit and the PC, be aware that most extension cables limit the data rate or
provide only USB 2.0 performance, even when plugged into a USB 3.0 port.
When you connect the CX5100 to the PC by USB 2.0, you will see a warning that
your system could run faster.

Powering On and Off

Connect the power to the Polycom CX5100 system. While the system starts up, the green indicators flash.
When the indicator lights stop flashing and the indicators are off, the system is ready to use. You do not need
to power the system on or off.

Understanding the Indicator Lights

The Polycom CX5100 system indicator lights let you know whether the system is sending audio or video in
video calls. The three microphone indicator lights are located on the tabletop unit base. The active video
indicator light is located on the underside of the camera head. See
Unit for the location of the microphone and active video indicators.
