Issue Corrective Action
I can't enter information in a phone field using my
computer keyboard.
Check to see if the phone field has a flashing cursor.
You can use PDC only to enter information in a phone
field if the field has a flashing cursor.
I can't place a call. If you're using PDC, you can't place a call using the
New Call soft key. To place a call, enter the phone
number and select Dial.
I want to change the phone that is connected to the
Polycom Desktop Connector.
Disable the Polycom Desktop Connector, which is
already connected to your computer and is in active
state on your phone.
Setup and enable the phone you want to connect to
Polycom Desktop Connector. Once your computer
receives an initial communication from the newly
configured phone, it asks you to confirm the connection
by displaying the message “You were controlling
<MACaddress1> with your computer. Do you want to
change to controlling <MACaddress2>?” Click OK.
Troubleshoot Audio and Echo Issues
In some cases when you are using your headset during a call, your contacts may experience audio or
echo issues, such as feedback of your voice or of their own voice. If your contacts hear an echo during a
call when using your headset, enable echo cancellation on your phone.
Procedure
1. Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences.
On VVX 1500 phones, navigate to Menu > Settings > Basic > Preferences.
2. Select Headset > Echo Cancellation and select Enabled.
