Introducing the Polycom RPX HD
Feature |
Benefit |
|
|
Transparent |
With the cameras hidden behind the displays, the |
technology |
microphones suspended from the ceiling cloud, the sound |
|
system out of view, and no remote controls on the table, the |
|
technology is hidden. Therefore, instead of spending time |
|
learning how to use the system, you can focus on the business |
|
at hand. |
|
|
All inclusive |
Polycom RPX suites include all the furnishings, studio lighting, |
environment |
acoustic cloud and walls, and electronics. Multiple, flexible |
|
room configurations allow you to choose the solution that suits |
|
your application. |
|
|
Room mobility |
The RPX suite is a true room-within-a-room. Because it is |
|
modular and does not attach to the physical room, it installs |
|
easily and can be moved to a new location, leaving the original |
|
room intact. |

The Touch Panel is your interface to the Polycom RealPresence Experience. It enables you to place video and audio calls, hang up calls, control the audio, and perform other telepresence conferencing tasks. The Touch Panel is located on the main table within easy reach of the center seats at the table.
If your organization has signed up for Video Network Operations Center (VNOC) services, the VNOC may handle many or all of the telepresence conferencing tasks for you. If so, you may not need to use the Touch Panel.
The Touch Panel is available with two different interfaces: the Enhanced UI and the Classic UI.
•Enhanced UI: Enables you to perform all of the basic tasks needed to participate in a telepresence conference, such as making calls, answering calls, hanging up, controlling audio, and sharing content. The Enhanced UI also provides access to additional calling functionality, such as Meeting Composer, Polycom Conferencing for Outlook, and advanced directory searching.
•Classic UI: Enables you to perform the same basic conferencing tasks as the Enhanced UI, such as making and answering calls and sharing content. The Classic UI, however, does not offer Meeting Composer and other advanced calling features.
The installer sets the UI at the time of installation; however, your administrator or your VNOC provider can change it if needed.
With both the Enhanced UI and the Classic UI, you can expect the Touch Panel buttons to behave in this way:
•Whenever you press a button, the Touch Panel will beep.
•Most buttons on the Touch Panel will either immediately visually depress or change color when touched. If a button indicates a state (such as mute), it may take up to a second for the button to visually indicate the changed

state. If the response time is consistently longer than this or if you receive no response, contact the Help Desk as described in the Getting Help section on page 2-31.
The first screen you typically see on the Touch Panel is the Start screen:
Figure 2-1 Start Screen
To access the Home screen from the Start screen: >> Touch Start.

Using the Touch Panel
This section describes how to use the Enhanced UI to:
•Make and hang up speed dial calls
•Use the Meeting Composer feature to first select the sites to call and then place the calls
•Use the Polycom Conferencing for Outlook feature to view the available meetings, join a scheduled meeting, and leave a meeting
To enable you to speed dial calls, your system administrator must first set up the speed dial numbers for your site. Each of these speed dial numbers will correspond to a Speed Dial button on the Home screen. The Speed Dial buttons can be set up to call traditional (standalone) video conferencing systems, Immersive Telepresence sites, audio-only sites, or multiple sites at one time.
If you want to add or remove any of the video or audio Speed Dial buttons on your Touch Panel, contact your system administrator. Your system administrator can refer to the Polycom Immersive Telepresence (ITP) Administrator’s Guide for information about how to change the Speed Dial buttons.
Speed Dialing Video Calls
To speed dial a video call when you are using the Enhanced UI:
1Touch Polycom.
The Home screen for the Enhanced UI appears as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-3.
2Touch the Speed Dial button that corresponds to the site you want to call. For example, if you often call a site in Boston, you might see a Speed Dial button called “Boston”. You can simply touch that button to place a call to that site.
If more than nine speed dial numbers have been set up for your site, touch Previous Page or Next Page to view the additional Speed Dial
buttons.

Using the Touch Panel
Meeting Composer enables you to easily place calls to multiple sites or to Immersive Telepresence sites (which have more than one codec). You can select the sites you want to call by using manual dial, speed dial, the Local or Global address book, or by searching.
Even if you want to call a traditional (standalone) video conferencing system or an audio-only site, you can use Meeting Composer to manually dial that site or to find that site in the address book.
Meeting Composer is available only with the Enhanced UI. If you are using the Classic UI, refer to Calling with the Classic UI on page 2-25.
Depending on how your system administrator has configured your system, some of the features described in this section (such as multipoint calling) may not be available.
For information about how your system is configured, contact your system administrator.
Figure 2-6 shows the Meeting Composer screen. The left side of the screen enables you to select the sites you want to call. When you select a site, that site’s name moves to the Conference List, which is on the right side of the screen. When the names of all the sites you want to call are listed in the Conference List, you can place the call simply by touching the
Connect button. Meeting Composer will then automatically connect to the multiple sites.
