Polycom SoundStation EX Conference Phone

Kit Contents:

  • Polycom SoundStation EX Conference Telephone
  • Wall Module power supply/amplifier with two cords attached
  • 2 external microphones
  • 2 Telephone-style cables for external microphones
  • Konnex Konference digital telephone adapter
  • "Wall Wart" power supply

Rooms with analog lines:

Yochum Hall Board Room
Library GSA Seminar Room
Library Media Classroom

Setting up the conference telephone:

Unpack the conference telephone and the wall module power supply. The wall module has two cords attached to it. One of the cables ends in a wide RJ-45 plug similar to an Ethernet (computer network) plug. Connect this cable to the conference telephone. The connector is beneath the leg opposite the keypad, and it is the only connector where the plug will fit. Plug the wall module into a convenient electrical outlet or power strip.

If you wish to use the external microphones, for example, if you are seated at a long table, connect the microphone to its cable (looks like a telephone cord) and connect the microphone cables to the conference telephone. The connectors are located on the bottom of the unit, under the legs adjacent to the dial pad.

Determine whether you have an analog telephone line available. If you are connecting to a household telephone system, or if I.T. has supplied you with an analog jack, connect the telephone cable from the wall module directly to the analog telephone jack. Refer to the operating instructions for use with an analog telephone line.

If you are using a digital telephone line, you must connect through the handset of a digital telephone set. If there is a typical campus telephone in the room, proceed as follows:

Connect the telephone cable from the wall module to the large "DATA>" jack on the end of the Konference adapter.

Disconnect the coiled handset cord from the telephone handset and plug it into the small "<HAND SET" jack on the end of the Konference adapter.

Connect the straight cord coming out of the Konference adapter to the telephone handset.

Plug the "wall wart" power supply into a convenient outlet or power strip, and connect it to the power jack on the end of the Konference adapter.

Proceed with the operating instructions for use with a digital telephone.

Operation on an analog telephone line:

To seize the telephone line, press the ON/OFF button.

To dial, use the numeric keypad.

To adjust the volume, use the VOL keys

To silence the microphones so that the person at the other end cannot hear you, press the MUTE button on the conference telephone or on either of the external microphones.

To end the call, press the ON/OFF button

Operation with a digital telephone set:

Press the ON/OFF button to activate the conference telephone. This will deactivate the telephone handset.

Remove the handset from the telephone set cradle, and use the digital telephone set to dial your call. Do not hang up the handset once you are connected! You cannot dial using the keypad on the conference telephone; you must use the digital telephone to dial your call.

To adjust the volume, use the VOL keys. You may also have to adjust the volume on the telephone set.

To silence the microphones so that the person at the other end cannot hear you, press the MUTE button on the conference telephone or on either of the external microphones.

To end the call, hang up the telephone handset. Press the ON/OFF button to restore normal handset operation.
