Achieving Integration: Additional References
To accomplish the actual deployment of Polycom video systems with Office Communications Server, this
document should be used in conjunction with a companion document that describes the detailed
configuration changes that are required on the Polycom systems to complete an integrated deployment.
The companion document is:
• Polycom® HDX and RMX™ Systems Integration with Microsoft® Office Communications Server
2007 Deployment Guide, 1.0, April 2009: This document describes the specific steps required to
integrate Polycom HDX and RMX systems with Office Communications Server.
In addition, Polycom has produced documents that address various aspects of the CX5000 device. Key
among these documents are:
• Polycom CX5000 Deployment Guide: This document discusses the management and
configuration of the CX5000 device. There are no specific configuration changes that are needed
to use the CX5000 within a deployment that integrates with Polycom video systems.
• Polycom CX5000 Users Guide: This document details the use of the Polycom CX5000.
Overview of the Polycom CX5000
The Polycom CX5000 Unified Conference Station is primarily a USB peripheral device with several key
features of relevance to these deployment scenarios:
• A camera head that provides a 360 degree view of the meeting room and its attendees. The
device makes a 360 degree panoramic strip available to other participants.
• Active speaker tracking, in which the device determines who is speaking, creates an “active
speaker” view with the speaker centered in the frame and presents this active speaker view to
other conference participants.
• An analog audio conference phone for calls to or from the PSTN or a PBX. This capability does
not require a PC and only requires a connection the phone network.
• USB plug and play simplicity. Once a Live Meeting client or an Office Communicator client is
installed on an associate PC, no other drivers or software are required to be installed.
With the exception of the standalone audio conference phone capability, the CX5000 is a USB peripheral
device that requires a PC with appropriate applications to enable it to function and communicate with the
rest of the world.
