Feature
Limitation
Pro-Motion H.264

between VSX 8000 systems up to 1.4 Mbps.
Pro-Motion H.264 video turns off in the following situations:
•

Product Activation
When activating licenses on the Polycom Resource Center,
use uppercase characters for any letters in the serial
numbers or licenses.
Profiles
Profiles provide a limited backup capability but do not save
the entire configuration of a system. Refer to the
Administrator's Guide for more information.
Security
When you set the Web Access Port on the web interface
Security page, specify a port number of 1025 or greater, and
make sure that the port is not already in use.
If you set the Meeting Password using the web interface, use
a password that includes only characters that can be entered
using the remote control or onscreen keyboard. If you use
characters that cannot be entered using the remote control or
onscreen keyboard (such as "!"), users will not be able to log
in to a meeting from the video conferencing system.
In an encrypted H.320 call, adding a voice over ISDN call
causes the VSX system to show that the call is not
encrypted. This indication represents that the voice call is not
encrypted; encryption remains in use on the H.320 video call.
Global Management System cannot set the room password
for a VSX system.
Security Mode
Do not load a profile taken from a VSX system in Security
Mode onto a system that is not in Security Mode. Similarly,
do not load a profile taken from a system that was not in
Security Mode on a system that is in Security Mode.
VSX systems with Security Mode enabled cannot be added
to a GMS server.
While in Security Mode, your browser may display warning
messages stating that the security certificate for the web site
"Polycom" cannot be verified. Click "Yes, I want to accept the
certificate" to continue normal operation.
To help ensure the security of the system, VSX systems
require that you provide new passwords when switching into
Security Mode. Enter a new password when prompted by the
system.
Setting the camera to Sharpness instead of Motion
prevents sending Pro-Motion H.264 video.
Streaming prevents sending Pro-Motion H.264 video.
Content sharing turns off Pro-Motion H.264 in both
directions until content is stopped.
Multipoint calling turns off Pro-Motion H.264 in all
directions for the duration of the call.
