Safety Recommendations
Read and understand the following instructions before using the system:
•Always disconnect the system from power before inserting plug-in cards into the SoundStructure device.
•Only connect the system to surge protected power outlets.
•Only use electrical extension cords with a current rating at least equal to that of the system.
•Always disconnect the system from power before cleaning and servicing and when not in use.
•Do not spray liquids directly onto the system when cleaning. Always apply the liquid first to a static free cloth.
•Do not immerse the system in any liquid or place any liquids on it.
•Do not disassemble this system. To reduce the risk of shock and to maintain the warranty on the system, a qualified technician must perform service or repair work.
•Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions.
•If the system or any accessories are installed in an enclosed space such as a cabinet or equipment rack, ensure that the air temperature in the enclosure does not exceed 40° C (104° F). Forced cooling may be required to keep the equipment within its operating temperature range.
Save these safety instructions.

Hardware Installation Guide for the Polycom SoundStructure C16, C12, C8 and SR12
General Site Requirements
Please ensure the SoundStructure side ventilation holes have at least 1 inch of clearance from the sides of the rack to allow airflow through the device. Failure to maintain clearance for airflow may increase the operating temperature of the unit beyond its maximum operating temperature of 40° C (104° F).
With the proper side clearance, each SoundStructure device requires one rack space and does not require additional empty rack spaces above or below the device. When mounting with other equipment give consideration to having access to the audio connectors on the rear-panel.
When using SoundStructure with Polycom HDX video codecs, it is recommended that the SoundStructure devices be installed above the video codec.
If you are placing the device on a tabletop or other flat surface (rather than rackmounting it), it is recommended to mount the adhesive rubber feet on the bottom of the device as shown in Rack-Mounting The Polycom SoundStructure Device to prevent damaging the finish of the furniture surface.
Power Supply Considerations
The Polycom SoundStructure C16, C12, C8 and SR12 have the following power requirements on the line power supplied to the devices:
•Input voltage of 90-250 VAC; 50-60 Hz
•Line power requirements (including 0.6 PF):
—130 VA (C16),
—115 VA (C12),
—105 VA (SR12),
—95 VA (C8)

By default the SoundStructure device has Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enabled and will accept an IP address from a DHCP server. The SoundStructure device IP address can also be set to a static IP address using the SoundStructure Studio software.
Do not plug the Ethernet cable in to the Conference Link2 ports. To minimize improper cabling, plastic plugs have been installed by default into the Conference Link2 ports.
Warning Connecting an Ethernet cable into the Conference Link2 interface of a
SoundStructure device could damage the SoundStructure device.
Connecting To Other Polycom Equipment With Conference Link2
The Conference Link2 interface (shown in the following drawing and labeled C-Link2) is used to connect the SoundStructure devices to other Polycom equipment such as a Polycom HDX system. There are two Conference Link2 interfaces on each SoundStructure device to support future connectivity to more than one Polycom device. The Conference Link2 ports on the SoundStructure devices have a plastic plug that must be removed before inserting a cable into the Conference Link2 ports. The Conference Link2 ports

Warning Connecting a Conference Link2 cable to the Ethernet interface could damage the connecting device and/or the SoundStructure device.
Using the supplied 18” Conference Link2 cable, connect one Conference Link2 port on the SoundStructure device to a Polycom microphone Input port on the Polycom HDX system as shown in the following figure. If there are multiple SoundStructure devices linked together with OBAM Link, only one SoundStructure device should be connected to a Polycom HDX system.

Warning A CAT5e cable that is terminated with standard T568A or T568B pin/pair assignments will not work with Conference Link2. The Conference Link2 pinout is different from T568A or T568B pin/pair termination.
Do not use a standard Ethernet cable to connect SoundStructure to a Polycom HDX system.
If a longer Conference Link2 cable is required, one may be constructed using the custom pinout (see Conference Link2) and standard 8P8C (eight positions, eight conductors, e.g., RJ45) connectors, shielded Cat5e cable or better, and standard 8P8C crimping tools. Note that the maximum length between the Polycom HDX codec and the SoundStructure device is one hundred feet (30m).
