Using A Polycom Touch Control With Video Codec Systems Versus Soundstructure Systems - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

The Polycom Touch Control software version 1.4.x does not operate with a
SoundStructure system that has authentication enabled. To pair the Polycom Touch
Control with the SoundStructure system, set the SoundStructure authentication
mode to 'open' with SoundStructure Studio.
Using a Polycom Touch Control with Video Codec Systems Versus
SoundStructure Systems
To use the Polycom Touch Control, it must be first paired with the system to be controlled. A Polycom Touch
Control may be paired either with:
● A video codec system for video conferencing applications (which may include optional
SoundStructure devices), or
● A SoundStructure system for audio conferencing applications
It is important to understand the operational differences of the Polycom Touch Control when pairing to video
codec system compared to pairing with a SoundStructure system. An overview of these operational differ-
ences is shown in the following table.
Operational Differences for Polycom Touch Control
Polycom Touch Paired with a Video Codec (+ optional
Control SoundStructure system)
What is controlled Controls the Video Codec directly and an
optional SoundStructure system is indirectly
controlled with Conference Link2 messages.
Dials Video Codec calls, Codec telephony
interfaces
Volume control Controls the volume in the Video Codec. If
optional SoundStructure devices are
connected over Conference Link2,
SoundStructure will receive clink_volume
messages from the Video Codec over
Conference Link2.
Mute control Controls the microphone mute in the Video
Codec. If optional SoundStructure devices
are connected over Conference Link2,
SoundStructure will receive clink_mute
messages from the Video Codec over
Conference Link2.
Note: Dialing SoundStructure Telephony Interfaces
To dial SoundStructure telephony interfaces, the Polycom Touch Control must be
paired with the SoundStructure system.
Polycom, Inc.
Paired with a SoundStructure system
Controls the SoundStructure system via the
SoundStructure API
SoundStructure telephony interfaces via the
SoundStructure API commands.
Polycom Touch Control sends
clink_volume API command directly to
the SoundStructure system in the form of:
set clink_volume 1 N
where N ranges from 0 to 51.
Polycom Touch Control sends clink_mute
API command directly to SoundStructure
system in the form of:
set clink_mute 1 1 to mute
set clink_mute 1 0 to unmute
