Placing a Call

4. To place a call use the arrows on the Polycom remote to select either "Place a Call" or "Directory". It is recommended for calls between campuses to select Directory as it will already contain all ITV room addresses.

5. Once Directory has been selected, the following menu will open. From here select favorites and pick which room or location you would like to connect to.

6. If you needed to connect to more than one address while you are in a call just click the menu button and select "Place a Call" or "Favorites". With this method you can add 3 other locations for a total of 4. After you have completed your call simply hold the power button for a few seconds on the Polycom remote and a "No Signal" should show on the TV. This indicates that the Polycom has been shut down and you can now turn off the TVs and projectors.

2. You can then use the arrows on the remote to pan the camera in the direction of your choosing. You can also click the "Far" button to select another camera in call to move the camera they have set up if applicable.
