3 Using the API The Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of commands for advanced users who want to automate a Polycom HDX system. You can use the API by connecting a control system or computer RS-232 serial port to the Polycom HDX system. Or, you can use Telnet over the LAN to use the API. Using the API with an RS-232 Interface If you use an RS-232 interface to send API commands, you must connect and configure the control system or computer and the Polycom HDX system for serial communication.
Integrator’s Reference Manual for Polycom HDX Systems Configuring the RS-232 Interface If you use the API with a serial connection, make sure that the RS-232 interfaces of the Polycom HDX system and your computer are configured appropriately. To access the RS-232 settings on your system, select System > Admin Settings > General Settings > Serial Port.
Using the API 3. Power on the computer and the Polycom HDX system. 4. From the computer, start a serial session using HyperTerminal or another appropriate utility. Using the API with a LAN Connection If you have a computer connected to the LAN, you can send API commands to the Polycom HDX system via Telnet port 24. 1. On the computer, open a command line interface. 2. Start a Telnet session using the Polycom HDX system IP address and port number — for example, telnet 10.11.12.13 24.

It causes the API session to wait until a call being placed either connects or fails, or until system is ready to place a call (such as after a reboot waiting for the ISDN lines to come up).
System Commands wake Wakes the system from sleep mode. Syntax wake Feedback Examples wake See Also To put the system in sleep mode, use the sleep command on page 4-208.

To erase the current setting, omit the “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” parameter. get Returns the WAN IP address. “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” WAN IP address. Feedback Examples wanipaddress set 192.168.1.122 returns wanipaddress 192.168.1.

Integrator’s Reference Manual for Polycom HDX Systems It is here that we have our first conflict. In videoconferencing we have to consider not only the issues related to local viewing and hearing but also the issues of being seen and heard by people at the far-end of the connection. This means that we must consider sight lines and angles of participant interaction that go beyond traditional presentation environments.
Room Design and Layout with people at the far-end of any connection. In short, we must always ask ourselves, “What does this look like and sound like to the people at the farend?” In order to guarantee that the final conference environment will have a solid foundation, we begin with the construction of the walls, floors and ceilings for videoconference spaces. Walls Conference room walls should be built from slab to slab.
Integrator’s Reference Manual for Polycom HDX Systems Ceiling Tiles These should be high-quality acoustic tiles, ideally 1”- thick compressed densecore fiberglass. An added benefit of this kind of ceiling tile is that it works well with the indirect lighting as specified elsewhere in this section.
Room Design and Layout Interior Design and Finishes Wall colors within the field of view of the camera have a significant impact on the far-end perception of the room video quality. Certain colors are better suited to video rooms than others. The electronics and software of the videoconferencing system “builds” the images at the far-end from a gray/blue reference image.
Integrator’s Reference Manual for Polycom HDX Systems ambient noise level). A room built to the description found elsewhere in this section will usually fall between NC-30 and NC-35. The actual NC value is not critical; what is important is that the room be built with the intent and care required to achieve the low noise rating. Typically in architectural design, a site evaluation and analysis are required to certify the noise performance of a given space.
Room Design and Layout only 2’ or 3’ from nearest in-focus to furthest in-focus. With bright light (70fc or more) the range of in-focus objects can more than double. Participants at the far-end will see more people in sharp focus, and the codec will have an easier time encoding the image. Bright standard direct fluorescent lighting has the undesirable side effect of being harsh for the local participants. In addition, the direct down lighting casts significant “drop shadows.
Integrator’s Reference Manual for Polycom HDX Systems It is important to remember that the use of traditional meeting room downcans—even those that have color-corrected light sources—for any lighting in the field of view that may include human faces is to be avoided at all costs. These will result in extremely uneven fields of light, or pools, and heavy, unnatural shadows on the faces of the participants.
Room Design and Layout As an example, we will work with a room having an ambient noise level of approximately 60dBA-SPL. A person speaking in a normal voice is 72dBA-SPL at about 2’ distance. At 4’ the loudness drops to approximately 66dBA-SPL. This already is farther than the critical distance criteria allow, given the ambient noise level. At 8’ distance, a normal speaking voice is approximately 60dBA-SPL. Now the voice energy and the room background noise are about equal.
Integrator’s Reference Manual for Polycom HDX Systems Audio Output For conference communication we do not really care about producing the thundering roar of jet aircraft engines, or other sounds reproduced on TV or in the movies. We are interested in reproducing the human voice. The tone, intonation, pitch and level of people speaking from the far-end should sound as much as possible like the sound they would make if they were speaking in the room.
Room Design and Layout delays)—will be recognized by the echo canceller as “new audio information,” and it will send those distortions to the far-end, perhaps wreaking havoc on the system audio quality. In short, speaker power should be matched to overall audio subsystem power.
Integrator’s Reference Manual for Polycom HDX Systems Video Projection for Use in Videoconference Many installations make use of video projection devices. The most important thing to remember in the planning of video projection for a videoconference space is that front projection is vastly inferior to rear projection. Front projection systems are less expensive and easier to implement, but the conflicting interest between the camera and the projection display makes this form of display a very poor choice.
Room Design and Layout wish to “show” or “view” must be translated to video, most often with some sort of camera mechanism. Document cameras, 35mm slide-to-video units, video scanners and scan conversion devices all are designed to take one format of source material and convert it to a standard video signal that can be digitized, shipped to the far-end(s), and converted back to composite video for display.

The getcallstate (deprecated) command on page 4-98 returns a table listing the status, speed, and dialed number of current calls. To display real-time status on individual B channels (incoming or outgoing calls), either register the API session with the callstate command on page 4-30, or start an outbound call with the dial command on page 4-55.
