Powering On and Off Polycom RealPresence Group 550 Systems

To power on the RealPresence Group 550 system, do one of the following:
● Switch on the power. The power switch is located on the back of your system.
The Polycom screen is displayed within about 10 seconds.
● If the system is asleep, press any button on the remote control or pick up the remote control to wake
up the system.
To shut down the RealPresence Group 550 system:
» Switch off the power.
The power switch is located on the back of your system.

Powering On and Off Polycom RealPresence Group 700 Systems

The RealPresence Group 700 system can be powered on and off with the remote using the same buttons
as shown for the RealPresence Group 300 and 500 systems; however, the Group 700 system supports a
low-power standard that limits the power supplied to the camera when the system is powered off. So, if the
EagleEye IV or EagleEye III camera is receiving its power only from the HDCI connector attached to the
system, it will not have an active IR receiver capable of powering on the system using the handheld remote
when in the Power Off state.
If the camera IR is the only exposed IR and you normally power the system on and off with the handheld
remote control, use one of these solutions:
● Provide direct power to the EagleEye III or EagleEye IV camera with the optional EagleEye camera
power supply, 1465-52748-040. This allows the IR sensor to remain in a Power On state, so that the
camera is capable of receiving IR commands from the remote control.
● Position the RealPresence Group system so that the IR receiver on the front of the system has a
line-of- sight to the remote control.
● Use a third-party IR extender to extend the IR signal from the room to the IR receiver on the front of
the RealPresence Group system.

Sleep and Wake States

The RealPresence Group systems support Sleep and Wake states in which the system provides power to
the EagleEye IV or EagleEye III camera. This allows the EagleEye IV or EagleEye III camera to wake from
a Sleep state through a signal received by the camera's IR sensor. The camera does not require any
additional power supply or IR extender.

Power Button on the Remote Control

You can use the remote control to power on and off a RealPresence Group 300, 500, and 700 system or
put any RealPresence Group system to sleep or wake it. Program this behavior using the web interface.
