Hardware Installation Guide for the Polycom SoundStructure
Conference Link2 Ports
LAN
Do not connect the Conference Link2 connectors on one SoundStructure device to
a Conference Link2 connector on another SoundStructure device. Doing so can
could damage the connecting device and/or the SoundStructure device.
Warning
Using the supplied 18" Conference Link2 cable, connect the left Conference Link2 port (when viewed from
the rear panel) on the SoundStructure device to a Polycom microphone Input port on the RealPresence
Group Series system, as shown in the following figure. If there are multiple SoundStructure devices linked
together with OBAM Link, only one SoundStructure device should be connected to a RealPresence Group
Series system.
Connecting the Conference Link2 port to the Polycom HDX system
A CAT5e cable that is terminated with standard T568A or T568B pin/pair
assignments will not work with Conference Link2. The Conference Link2 pinout is
different from T568A or T568B pin/pair termination.
Do not use a standard Ethernet cable to connect SoundStructure to a Polycom HDX
Warning
or RealPresence Group Series system.
If a longer Conference Link2 cable is required, one may be constructed using the custom pinout (see
Conference Link2) and standard 8P8C (eight positions, eight conductors, e.g., RJ45) connectors, shielded
Cat5e cable or better, and standard 8P8C crimping tools. Note that the maximum length between the
RealPresence Groups Series system and the SoundStructure device is 100ft (30m).
