When the phone is connected to a Polycom HDX system or Polycom
RealPresence Group system:
• It acts as a microphone for all calls on the Polycom HDX system or
Polycom RealPresence Group system. One (with Polycom RealPresence
Group 300 and 500 systems only) or two Polycom Microphone Arrays may
be used as extension microphones. (Only one Ceiling Microphone Array
can be connected.)
• When the call is audio only, the speaker in the phone is used. Otherwise,
the audio comes from the Polycom HDX system or Polycom RealPresence
Group system.
• You can also attach one analog SoundStation IP 7000 expansion
microphone to the phone.
You can connect a microphone to the phone using an optional
External Microphone Kit. Depending on the External Microphone Kit you
have, the kit will contain either two SoundStation IP 7000 expansion
microphones (analog), or up to two Polycom Microphone Arrays (digital)
daisy-chained. You cannot connect analog SoundStation IP 7000 expansion
microphones and Polycom Microphone Arrays together.
The analog SoundStation IP 7000 expansion microphones and associated
microphone cables have 'keyed' connectors and must only be connected to a
SoundStation IP 7000.
For this deployment, you can only connect one analog expansion microphone or up
to two Polycom Microphone Arrays (daisy-chained) to the microphone connector on
the phone. The other microphone connector on the phone must be available to
connect to the Polycom HDX or Polycom RealPresence Group system.
Instead of connecting the Polycom Microphone Arrays to the phone, you can
connect up to two Polycom Microphone Arrays to the Polycom HDX or Polycom
RealPresence Group system. For more information on connecting microphones to
your system, refer to the 'Optional setup' instructions in the Setup Guide for your
system (available by navigating to your system from the
To connect a SoundStation IP 7000 expansion microphone, connect the
microphone cable to the connector on the phone and the other to the
microphone.
To connect up to two Polycom Microphone Arrays, connect one to the
connector on the phone and the other to a connector on the microphone. To
add a second microphone, remove the cover from the connector on the first
and connect the microphone cable to it and then to the other microphone.
The Polycom Microphone Arrays and the SoundStation IP 7000 can be connected
in any order.
