Configuring a Polycom Vortex Mixer with VSX Room Systems
4 - 20
Connecting a Polycom Vortex mixer to VSX room systems provides flexibility in
audio set-up. For example, it allows you to provide a microphone for each call
participant in a boardroom.
The VSX 8000 is designed to work with the Polycom Vortex mixer. For this configuration, you
need Vortex firmware 2.5.2 or later, Conference Composer version 2.7.0 or later, and VSX
system software version 7.5 or later.
The Audio screen, where you choose Audio Settings or Stereo Settings, is present only if
stereo is enabled.
To configure VSX room systems to use a Polycom Vortex mixer:
Go to this screen:

Refer to the Polycom Vortex documentation for details on configuring the mixer.

you have integrated both a Vortex and a VTX 1000
conference phone with the VSX system.
