User’s Guide for Polycom HDX Room Systems

Answering Video Calls Automatically

If your system administrator has allowed access to user settings, you can specify whether to answer video calls automatically or to have the system announce incoming video calls and wait for you to answer manually.

Automatically answering calls is convenient, but it can create security issues. An unexpected caller could interrupt a meeting in progress or look at equipment and notes left in an empty room.

To automatically answer video calls:

1Select System from the Home screen.

2Select User Settings from the System screen.

3If you want to automatically answer incoming point-to-point video calls, set Auto Answer Point-to-Point Video to Yes.

4If you want to automatically answer incoming multipoint video calls, set Auto Answer Multipoint Video to Yes.

5Press Home to save your change and return to the Home screen.

Muting Automatically Answered Video Calls

If your system administrator has allowed access to user settings, you can choose whether to mute the audio when automatically answered video calls connect. This prevents callers from overhearing conversations or meetings.

After the call connects, you can press

Mute on the remote control when

you’re ready to unmute the microphones.

If you enable automatic muting during a call, the audio for the current meeting is not affected.

To mute automatically answered video calls:

1Select System from the Home screen.

2Select User Settings from the System screen.

3 Scroll to Mute Auto Answer Calls and press	on the remote control
to enable the option.

4Press Home to save your change and return to the Home screen.
