Setting Up Your IP Network Connection

3 - 4
Setting Description
LAN Speed Specifies the LAN speed to use. Note that the speed you choose
must be supported by the switch.
Choose Auto to have the network switch negotiate the speed
automatically. If you choose 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, you must also
select a duplex mode.
Note: Be sure that the device and the switch settings match.
Typically, selecting Auto for both is sufficient. The LAN Speed
setting for the V500 system and the switch must match. Polycom
strongly recommends that you do not select Auto for either just
the V500 system or just the switch; the settings for both must be
the same.
Changing this setting causes the system to restart.
Duplex Mode Specifies the Duplex mode to use. Note that the Duplex mode you
choose must be supported by the switch.
Choose Auto to have the network switch negotiate the Duplex
mode automatically.
Changing this setting causes the system to restart.
The following is a list of the common ways you can connect your V500 system
to an IP network so that you can make video calls. Pick the IP network
connection type that most closely resembles how you plan to make calls, then
read the section that corresponds to that connection type. If you need help
determining how your V500 system connects to the network, contact your
network administrator, network service provider, or Internet Service Provider
(ISP).
