Launching the Polycom SDK

The Polycom SDK is a set of tools designed to assist you in developing XML API/XHTML applications for
the VVX phones and provide a simulation of these phones. You need to download the SDK before
creating your application. Using the SDK, you can test your application on the simulated phones and
make any necessary adjustments before finalizing.
The Polycom SDK is available for download from the Polycom Support site. Refer to the SDK Quick Start
Guide for more information on installing and using the SDK.
The SDK creates temporary files in the installed directory at startup. By default, Microsoft Windows Vista
does not allow applications to modify/add files in certain directories due to security concerns.
To work around this issue:
1 Turn off the User Access Control (UAC) feature.
2 Install the SDK in another directory besides Program Files or Windows.
For example, during the installation process, enter c:\PolycomSDK as the install directory
Note: Differences Between Applications Running on Phones and the SDK
It is important to consider the difference between an application running on the computer-based
simulator and the same application running on a real Polycom phone. Graphic animations and other
processor or memory intensive functions could perform differently in either environment. There are
other slight differences in the behavior of the simulators with respect to different versions of phone
software.
Troubleshooting: Before Running the Simulator
The simulator uses port 80, and if any existing applications on your computer are using port 80, you
either need to shut those applications down or configure a different port other than 80 for those
applications.
