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.

Using the Touch Panel

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.

About the Enhanced and Classic User Interfaces

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

Polycom RPX HD User Guide

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.

Accessing the Home Screen

The first screen you typically see on the Touch Panel is the Start screen:

Only the center right indicator lights up when you are connected to a traditional (standalone) video conferencing system.

2–5

Polycom RPX HD User Guide

For the RPX HD 200 Series:

Both indicators light up when you are connected to a Polycom RPX HD 200 Series, RPX HD 400 Series, OTX 300, TPX HD 306M, TPX HD 204M, or ATX 300.

Only the right indicator lights up when you are connected to a traditional (standalone) video conferencing system.

Your IP address is displayed on the screen.

The name of the far-end site is displayed on the screen.

A horizontal bar shows the audio level.

The current time is displayed.

If the call is not encrypted, the

 

Encryption icon appears unlocked; if

 

the call is encrypted, the icon will appear locked.

If the far end is sharing content, the

Content Sharing icon lights up.

 

Note that this icon appears along the left side of the screen on the Classic

 

UI.

 

 

If the far end is muted, the

Far End Muted icon lights up. Note that

this icon appears along the left side of the screen on the Classic UI.

If you dial in to a multipoint call, a touch pad automatically appears so that you can enter the conference code or password. The touch pad sends DTMF tones. If you want to manually display the touch pad, touch the DTMF touch pad icon.

Using the Touch Panel

Calling with the Enhanced UI

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

Making and Hanging Up Speed Dial Calls

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 Calls

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.

2–7

Polycom RPX HD User Guide

Speed Dialing Audio Calls

To speed dial an audio call when you are using the Enhanced UI:

1If you are not on the Home screen, touch Polycom.

The Home screen for the Enhanced UI appears as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-3.

2Touch the audio Speed Dial button that corresponds to the telephone number you want to call. For example, if you often call the CEO’s cell phone, you might see an audio Speed Dial button called “CEO Cell”. You can simply touch that button to place a call to that number.

If you touch the Help Desk button when an audio call is connected, the system must hang up the audio call in order to place the help call. A message informs you of this before hanging up the audio call. For more information about placing help calls, refer to Getting Help on page 2-31.

Hanging Up Calls

If you are on a video call and an audio call concurrently, you must hang up the calls separately. This section describes how to hang up both types of calls.

Hanging Up Video Calls

To hang up a video call:

1If the Hang Up button is not visible on your screen, touch

Polycom.

Making Calls Using Meeting Composer

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.
