The VSX 7000e and VSX 8000 systems are designed to be placed on a tabletop
or in an equipment rack.
If you received a network interface module with your system, you may find it
convenient to install it before positioning the system. Refer to the installation
sheet that you received with the network interface module.
To position the system:
1. Install the mounting brackets on the system if you need to mount it in an
equipment rack, or install the self-adhesive feet if you will place the
system on a table or shelf.
2. Place the system in the desired location. Leave enough space to work, so
that you can connect the cables easily.
3. Place the camera on or near the monitor displaying the far site so that
people look towards the camera during calls.
All VSX systems can be connected to a LAN to make IP calls.
You must connect the system to a LAN to:
• Make IP or SIP calls
• Use the Global Directory Server
• Use VSX Web or People+Content IP
• Update system software using the Polycom Softupdate program
The back panel view for your system shows the location of the LAN connector.
Refer to the previous section,
your system also provides this information.
