Setting Up the Room for Polycom People On Content™
For the best results, follow these guidelines for setting up Polycom People On
Polycom, Inc. 1–3
Content™:
•Use the Polycom EagleEye™ HD camera with Polycom HDX 9000 series
and Polycom HDX 8000 series systems. Polycom recommends using a
Polycom EagleEye HD or Polycom EagleEye HD 1080 camera with People
on Content. If you are using a Polycom EagleEye 1080 or Polycom
EagleEye View camera, activating People on Content automatically
reduces the resolution to 720p.
•Create a flat, consistent background color using a screen or matte-finish
paint in green or blue. Make sure the background does not have shadows
or glare.

When connecting two Polycom HDX microphone host devices, a cross-over cable
is required. To build a custom cross-over cable for this purpose, you should use
shielded CAT5 or better cable. Each end of the custom cable should have a
shielded RJ-45 plug connector that connects to a Polycom HDX microphone host
device. The maximum supported cable length is 100 feet.
Due to differing use of the twisted pairs within the cable, the pinout for this custom
CAT5 cross-over cable is not the same as the pinout that is used for standard
Ethernet cables. Do not use standard Ethernet cables. Instead, for best cable
performance, refer to the following pinout information to create this custom CAT5
cross-over cable.

Custom Cabling for Polycom HDX Microphones
You can create a custom-length cable from the Polycom HDX 9000 Series
system to the Polycom HDX microphone. Start with the microphone cable
(2457-23216-001), and cut off the P1 end. Using the wiring tables shown, create
a custom cable from the microphone to a wall plate or other interfacing device.
Next, from the wall plate or other interfacing device, run shielded CAT5 or
better cable to the Polycom HDX system, terminating with a shielded RJ-45
plug connector.
The total length from the Polycom HDX system to the first Polycom
microphone can vary between 18 in and 100 ft. The maximum length between
subsequent microphones is 25 ft.
The following diagram shows an example of longer custom cabling from a
Polycom HDX system to a Polycom microphone or a Polycom SoundStation IP
7000 Phone.
.
2–46Polycom, Inc.
The following steps explain how to wire this custom cable configuration.
1Identify the P1 connector on the Polycom HDX microphone cable
according to the location of the brown heat-shrink tubing as shown on
page Polycom HDX Microphone Array Cable on page 2-43 . Remove the
P1 connector and skip to step 4. Note that two separate vendors
manufacture these cables, which are electrically equivalent but have
different color coding. If you cannot identify the P1 connector, remove
either connector from the cable and continue with step 2.

to perform a continuity check between the connector and the cable colors.
If you cut off P1, skip to step 4. If you cut off P2, continue with step 3.
3If you cut off P2, re-terminate the cable with a shielded RJ-45 connector
using the following tables, then skip to step 5.
4If you cut off P1, re-terminate the cable with an RJ-45 8-pin plug using the
following tables, then continue with step 5.
5Whether you re-terminated the P1 or P2 end of the cable, at this point the

Straight-Through Serial Cable
This cable connects a Polycom HDX system to a serial device. It has a DB-9

used.
If you choose to use this straight-through serial cable for RS-232 communication

Using the API
The Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of commands for
advanced users who want to automate a Polycom HDX system. You can use
the API by connecting a control system or computer RS-232 serial port to the
Polycom HDX system. Or, you can use Telnet over the LAN to use the API.
Using the API with an RS-232 Interface
If you use an RS-232 interface to send API commands, you must connect and
configure the control system or computer and the Polycom HDX system for
serial communication.

Configuring the RS-232 Interface
If you use the API with a serial connection, make sure that the RS-232
interfaces of the Polycom HDX system and your computer are configured
appropriately.
To access the RS-232 settings on your system, select System > Admin Settings > General Settings > Serial Port.

•Closed Caption
•Control

In Pass-Thru Mode, the operational modes of both devices’ RS-232 ports
depend on the port configuration of each device.
Starting an API Session via an RS-232 Interface
After you have verified that the Polycom HDX system and your computer or
control system are both configured appropriately, set up both devices as
follows:
1Power off the computer or control system and the Polycom HDX system.
2Use an RS-232 cable to connect the computer or control system RS-232
