Pairing and Unpairing a Polycom Touch Control Device and a
Polycom RealPresence Group System
When you configure the Polycom Touch Control to pair with a particular Polycom RealPresence Group
system, the Polycom Touch Control makes an IP connection to the RealPresence Group system. If the
connection is lost for any reason, the Polycom Touch Control automatically attempts to restore the
connection.
The Polycom Touch Control connects to the RealPresence Group 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 RealPresence Group system.
You can pair the Polycom Touch Control and Polycom RealPresence Group 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 RealPresence Group
system using Polycom Touch Control settings and unpair using the web interface.
When you use a Polycom Touch Control with the Polycom RealPresence Group system, you must be sure
to update the RealPresence Group software before you update the Polycom Touch Control software. Only
Polycom Touch Control software versions 4.x or later work with Polycom RealPresence Group systems.
