Text Indication; Transparent Endpoint Names - Polycom 1500 Deployment Manual

Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX)1500/2000/4000 Deployment Guide for Maximum Security Environments

Text Indication

The Text Indication appears in the window of the current speaker in the participant's layout
in addition to the endpoint name. It displays the conference Secure mode (on or off), total
number of connected participants, number of video participants and number of audio
participants.
The text indication is automatically displayed when there is a change in the conference
Secure state (when Secure is implemented or cancelled) and it appears only for a few
seconds (the same duration as the endpoint names).
The conference chairperson or participants can request the display of a Textual Indication of
the conference's statistics by entering the DTMF code *88 on the endpoint's DTMF input
device, such as remote control.
