Connecting Over Conference Link2; Connecting Soundstructure Conference Link2 - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Connecting Over Conference Link2

While there are two Conference Link2 (CLink2) interfaces on a SoundStructure device that permit two
simultaneous connections to other Polycom devices, only one Polycom Video Codec conferencing system
may be connected to a SoundStructure device.

Connecting SoundStructure Conference Link2

As described in the SoundStructure Hardware Installation
interface accepts an RJ45 terminated CAT-5e cable. An 18" cable with the proper pin out is provided with
each SoundStructure device.
Do not use the Conference Link interface to connect two SoundStructure devices together - the Conference
Link interface does not work in that manner. Use the OBAM interface to link multiple SoundStructure devices
together.
Note: Conference Link2 RJ45 Terminated Cables and Pin Outs
While the Conference Link2 socket accepts RJ45 terminated cables, the pin out is
not the same as the T568A and T568B pin outs that are commonly used with
network products. See
Guide for additional cable information including the required pin outs.
The signals that are transmitted between the SoundStructure device and a Polycom Video Codec
conferencing system connected over Conference Link2 are kept as digital signals. No analog signals are
transmitted between the SoundStructure device or the Polycom Video Codec video conferencing system
when connecting to the Polycom Video Codec system with the Conference Link2 interface.
