User’s Guide for Polycom HDX Systems and the Polycom Touch Control

If encryption is enabled on the system, a locked padlock icon appears on the

monitor when a call is encrypted. If a call is unencrypted, an unlocked padlock

appears on the monitor.

•If you are in a point-to-point call or a multipoint call hosted by another

system, the padlock icon displays the state of your individual connection.

•If you are hosting a multipoint call, the padlock icon displays the

combined state of all connections: encrypted if all connections in the call

are encrypted, unencrypted if one or more connections in the call are not

encrypted.

In one call, some connections might be encrypted while others are not. The

padlock icon might not accurately indicate whether the call is encrypted if the

call is cascaded or includes an audio-only endpoint. If encryption is required

on your system, the far end must support encryption or the call will not be

completed. To avoid security risks, Polycom recommends that all participants

communicate the state of their padlock icons verbally at the beginning of a call.

Controlling What You See

You can use the touch control to select and adjust the main camera or other

near-site or far-site video sources, such as document cameras, computers,

VCRs, or DVD players. You might be able to adjust other auxilary cameras or

far-site cameras that support pan, tilt, and zoom movement.

To select a near-site or far-site camera, or other video source:

1From the call screen touch Camera, or from the Home screen touch

Cameras.

2If you are in a call, touch Near or Far to select either near-site or far-site

control.

3Touch Select Camera, and then touch the camera or other video source

you want to use.

The icon for the video source moves up slightly on the screen, and the

video source is shown to the call participants.

You can adjust the far-site camera only if it is configured at the far site to allow you

to control it.
