Polycom P001 manual Controlling What You See, Participating in an Encrypted Call

User’s Guide for the Polycom RealPresence Group Series

E.164 format: If you need to dial an extension (E.164 address), enter the extension in the second entry field. If your system is not configured with a second entry field, you can enter the extension when the gateway prompts you. You can also specify characters in the dial string as instructed by the system administrator.

Participating in an Encrypted Call

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

the monitor screen when a call is encrypted. If a call is not encrypted, an open padlock appears on the monitor screen.

•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 may be encrypted while others are not. However, the lock icon may 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.
