Choosing a LAN wiring option depends on whether or not you want a managed switch in the suite or if you prefer
home runs back to a managed switch. You also have the choice of separating the suite components and the table leg
ports onto two separate physical LANs. The customer is responsible for supplying the either the managed switch or
the table leg switch.
For voice add-on, you will need to supply an analog line. Voice add-on is necessary to enable access to a VNOC or
other help desk.
If you do not put a managed switch in the telepresence suite, the RPX HD solution needs the following number of
100/1000BASE-T network connections, on RJ-45 connectors

** The calculations in a video call indicate expected average power draw
*** The power budget is the maximum theoretical power consumption each RPX Series could consume. This
assumes each suite at full occupancy with all components operating at maximum power.

Options
Chairs
Chairs for the RPX suites may either be provided by the customer or purchased through Polycom. It
is recommended for the best telepresence experience that the chairs be identical in all RPX suites.
The graphics panels serve as the background to RPX telepresence suites and are visible to participants on the far
end of a video conference. They can be used to display branding and site information during video conferences if
desired. The graphics panel design consists of two independent panels of material each wrapped around a fiberglass
frame, with each frame installed onto the rear wall. Customers must choose one of the three following options:
Standard
Graphics
Panel
Standard sky blue background with white
clouds. Not customized for a specific customer
or site.
Allows you to add your company name and
logo, and one or two lines of text (usually

specifying your suite location) to the standard
sky blue background with white clouds, or to a
solid background color within the specifications
provided in the RPX HD Series Graphics Panel
Design Guide.
Allows you to specify a more customized

background. While there is ample room for
creativity in the design of Premium graphics
panels, there are limitations to the extent of
customization available. Please see design
guidelines for more information.
Please refer to the RPX HD Series Graphics Panel Design Guide posted on the Partner Resource Center for more
information about graphics panel guidelines.

The color Touch Panel is the interface for RPX HD suites. 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 placed within easy reach of
the center seats at the main table.
Below is a summary of the available tasks you may control via the color Touch Panel.

* To complete the telepresence multipoint solution, an RMX 4000 or RMX 2000 MCU with the telepresence software
option enabled and the Polycom Multipoint Layout Application (MLA) software are required. For more detailed
information, please refer to the Polycom Multipoint Overview document found on the Partner Resource Center web
site.
** An analog (POTS) line must be present for access to the your VNOC or other help desk
The RPX HD Series telepresence solutions provide two methods for viewing participants in a multipoint
conference.
Room Continuous Presence: In this standard mode, the multipoint view will automatically be
generated either to follow the general principles of Polycom Immersive Telepresence multipoint (all
participants are “present” during a multipoint conference) or to fit a custom-set view configured by the
conference administrator for the particular combination of sites in the conference.
Voice Activated Room Switching (VARS): VARS is different from the standard Room Continuous
Presence mode in that the speaker’s site is the only site seen by others. The view of the speaker’s
site is sized to be as large as possible on all of the other participants’ displays. The current speaker
sees the previous speaker’s site (i.e., the speaker’s layout remains unchanged). Layouts used in
VARS are not customizable.
To implement telepresence multipoint conferencing with Polycom telepresence solutions, the following
components are required:
