Controlling Recording Devices
Depending on how your system is configured, you might be able to use the
Polycom HDX remote control to control devices such as VCRs or DVD players
that are in the room with the system. You might also be able to control a
Polycom RSS 4000 server or Polycom RMX
®
system. The remote control
buttons control these systems by sending audible DTMF tones across the call.
The Polycom RMX must be configured to use the default DTMF codes
assigned to the recording process. Contact your system administrator for more
information.
Working with Directory Entries and Favorites
The directory on your Polycom HDX system stores dialing information that
helps you make calls quickly and easily. When a site listed in the directory calls
your system, the system displays the name on the screen when the call comes
in. If a site that calls you is not listed in the directory, you might be prompted
to save the contact information in the directory when the call ends.
If your system is registered with a global directory server, you can see
information about other active sites that are registered with the same Global
Directory Server. These entries are stored on the Global Directory Server, and
you cannot edit them. You can, however, add a global entry to your Favorites.
Sites that you have added are stored on your Polycom HDX system as
Favorites. You can remove or edit Favorites. You can also assign Favorites to
groups to more easily find them. Everyone at your site who uses the system
can use the entries you create, and you can use the entries created by others.
Users at other sites cannot access the Favorites on your system.
Polycom HDX systems support up to 1,000 Favorites. They can also support
one of the following:
• Up to 200 additional Favorites with presence when registered with
Microsoft Office Communications Server or Microsoft Lync Server 2010.
• Up to 200 additional Favorites with presence when registered with a

• Up to 4,000 contacts from up to 5 servers, which appear in the Global
Directory group, when registered with to Polycom GDS server.
• Up to 20,000 contacts when the HDX system is registered with Microsoft
