The RS232 connection on the Polycom HDX Series Codecs should be connected with a standard patch cable to the XP Series Processor serial adapter; a null modem adapter and a female gender changer are needed.
The Polycom HDX Series Codecs default to a baud rate of 9600.
Configuration Info
This instruction guide is not a replacement for the Polycom Operation or Control Manuals. Please be familiar with the Polycom Codec prior to configuration of this driver. The codecs listed below are supported by this driver. Although the codecs in this series use the same protocol, there are differences in their capabilities.
Codecs Supported
HDX Series
IR Remote Emulation
The simplest method of control is to use IR Remote Emulation, which is control of the codec via RS232/TCP using commands that emulate the IR remotes.
Using the remote emulation should only be used when the user of the system can see the codec video output display. Without this, the user has no reference as to what they are doing with the system.
Phonebook
The phonebook can be quite large on this system. Because of this, the driver was designed to retrieve searched listings. Only 25 items will be able to be displayed at a time.
System Events
Incoming Call
There is an Incoming Call system event programmed into the driver, use this to provide indication to the user that there is an incoming call. There are specific System Variables to allow the user to get information about the incoming call prior to answering. The Incoming Call system event only gets triggered when the codec has auto-answer disabled.
