1. On the computer, open a command line interface.
2. Start a Telnet session using the Polycom HDX system IP address and port
number — for example, telnet 10.11.12.13 24.
You cannot use Telnet to access the system if Security Mode is enabled.
In cooperation with the leading touch panel controller manufacturers,
Polycom Video Division is proud to offer its own version of controller code
designed to run on Crestron systems. This independent code base was
developed specifically to address issues of code compatibility with video
system software releases. It provides a fully executable controller program but
also serves as a guideline for ongoing development using Polycom preferred
methodology and commands.
Companion documents are also available to further explain how to interface
your controller with Polycom video systems and utilize the API efficiently. To
access the code, visit the A/V Professionals Solutions page at
