Release Notes
Polycom RealPresence Group Series, Version 4.1.5
● Let users join the meeting without knowing the connection details.
Call Statistics Updates
The call statistics diagnostic screens allow you to view information about the call in progress. You can view
information about participants in the call, as well as details about participant streams.
Examples of the information you can view include the following:
● System name and number
● Stream type and quality
● Frame rate
● Packet loss details
● Encryption details
Microsoft Active Directory Authentication
Software version 4.1.1 supports Active Directory on Microsoft Windows Server version 2008 R2 and
Microsoft Windows Server 2012. An administrator can configure RealPresence Group systems to grant
access using network accounts that are authenticated through an Active Directory (AD) server. The account
information is stored on the AD server and not on the RealPresence Group system. The AD administrator
assigns accounts to AD groups, one for RealPresence Group system admin access and one for user
access.
Once enabled, users can enter their network account credentials to access the RealPresence Group
system from any Microsoft Windows Active Directory domain running Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2012
either 32-bit or 64- bit operating systems.
Kiosk Mode
Version 4.1.1 supports Kiosk Mode in the local interface. Kiosk Mode simplifies the Home screen by
displaying only speed dial entries and calendar meetings (if enabled). In Kiosk Mode, therefore, you can
only call speed dial numbers, join calendar meetings, and answer calls.
You must create your speed dial numbers before you use Kiosk Mode. For information on adding speed dial
entries and enabling speed dial, refer to the Administrator’s Guide for the Polycom RealPresence Group
Series.
People+Content™ IP Compatibility with Microsoft Windows 8
This release ensures that People+Content IP is compatible with Microsoft Windows 8. This allows you to
use your Windows 8 computer to send content to the RealPresence Group system using the
People+Content IP application.
Points to Note about Kiosk Mode:
Kiosk Mode is disabled by default. If Kiosk Mode is enabled:
• The Home screen menu, Out of Call menu, and other icons are disabled.
• Alerts bring the local interface out of Kiosk Mode until you clear the alerts.
• You can still use the remote to adjust the volume, control the camera, and mute/unmute the
microphone when in calls.
• You can bring up the In a Call menu by pressing Menu on the remote during the call.
