Getting Started Guide

for the VSX Series

When you attend a meeting using the Polycom® VSX™ system, you’ll see that it’s very much like any other meeting you attend in a conference room. With a VSX system, you can meet with people anywhere in the world, without any travel required.

The VSX systems are easy to use. It’s easy to place calls, create your own directory of numbers, change the way calls are answered, and customize what you see on the screen. Depending on how your system is configured, you can make video calls using ISDN or IP connections and to one site or multiple sites at one time.

You can also share information in calls using content sharing software, document cameras, VCRs, DVDs or microscopes.

Before you place your first call, use this guide to get some basic “how-to” information. This guide includes overview information that you may find helpful when you’re just starting to learn about video conferencing or when you have experience, but you need a quick refresher.

VSX systems can be customized to show only those options used in your organization. Therefore, there may be options covered in this guide that you cannot access on your system. To find out more about these options, please talk to the administrator of your VSX system.
