Controlling Recording Devices

Working with Directory Entries and Favorites

Polycom, Inc.
Depending on how your system is configured, you may be able to use the
Polycom HDX remote control to control devices such as VCRs or DVD players
that are in the room with the system. You might also be able to control a
Polycom RSS 2000 server or Polycom RMX® system. The remote control
buttons control these systems by sending audible DTMF tones across the call.
The Polycom RMX must be configured to use the default DTMF codes
assigned to the recording process. Contact your system administrator for more
information.
The directory on your Polycom HDX system stores dialing information that
helps you make calls quickly and easily. When a site listed in the directory calls
your system, the system displays the name on the screen when the call comes
in. If a site that calls you is not listed in the directory, you might be prompted
to save the contact information in the directory when the call ends.
If your system is registered with a global directory server, your directory
contains two types of entries:
• Local entries: Information about sites that you have added. Local entries
are stored on your Polycom HDX system and appear in the directory
Favorites group and on the Favorites screen. You can remove or edit local
entries. You can also assign local entries to groups to make it easier to find
them. Everyone at your site who uses the system can use the entries you
create, and you can use the entries created by others. Users at other sites
cannot access the local entries on your system.
• Global entries: Information about other active sites that are registered with
the same Global Directory Server. These entries are stored on the Global
Directory Server, and you cannot edit them. You can, however, add a
global entry to your Favorites.
For information about using a Microsoft Office Communications Server directory or
managing Microsoft Office Communications Server contacts, refer to
Microsoft Office Communications Server Features with Video Calls
Polycom HDX systems support up to 1,000 local contacts that you create
within Favorites. They can also support one of the following:
• Up to 200 additional contacts with presence, which appear in Favorites,
when registered with Microsoft Office Communications Server.
• Up to 200 additional contacts with presence, which appear in Favorites,
when registered with a Polycom CMA™ system.
• Up to 4,000 contacts from up to 5 servers, which appear in the Global
Directory group, when registered with to Polycom GDS server.
