Place the cart in the room so the camera on the top of the unit can see the meeting participants and so the meeting participants can see the monitor.  Avoid placing the unit in such a way that the camera is aimed at a window.  If aiming the unit at a window is unavoidable, close the blinds to prevent the meeting participants from appearing dark. 

TIP:  For the best video quality, it is always best to close the blinds in a room before the meeting.

Connect the network cable to the data jack in the room. On campus, the data jacks are labeled with the room number, then a letter A or B. For Example, the data jack in RHPH 554 would be labeled 554-A or 554-B. Below is a list of active jacks.
RHPH G48-A
RHPH 172-A and 172-C
RHPH 164-A
RHPH 550-A
RHPH 552-A
RHPH 554-A

Be certain you are not plugging the network cable into a phone connection, E.G., 554-1. Doing so MAY DAMAGE the unit.

Remove the document camera from under the cart and place it on the table.
DO NOT LIFT THE UNIT BY THE SILVER BOOK HOLDERS ON THE SIDES OR BY THE CAMERA SUPPORT.
Connect power to the document camera using the provided extension cord.
Uncoil the yellow-tipped S-video connector from the cart and plug it into the S-video output on the back of the document camera. The connector is labeled "DOCU". Make sure you line up the cable properly or you will break the pins off the s-video connector.
Push the large button on the left side of the document camera labeled "Unlock" and lift the camera into position. As you're lifting the camera, release the unlock button and continue lifting until the camera locks into place. Make sure the camera is aiming towards the base of the unit. Turn on the power to the document camera.

For PC users

2. Turn off your computer and connect one end of the short monitor extension cable to the monitor output of your computer, connect the other end of the cable to the VGA in port of the Averkey converter.  If you're using a laptop, skip to step 4.
3. Connect the VGA monitor to VGA out port of the Averkey converter.
4. Uncoil the yellow-tipped S-video connector from the cart and plug it into the S-video output on the Averkey converter.  The connector is labeled "DOCU".   Make sure you line up the cable properly or you will break the pins off the s-video connector.
5. Connect the Averkey converter's power adapter into the power in port on the Averkey converter and plug the  power adapter into the provided extension cord.
6. Turn on your computer.

For Mac users

1. Boot your computer and set the resolution to 1024x768 or lower.
2. Turn off your computer and connect one end of the short monitor extension cable to the monitor output of your computer, connect the other end of the cable to the VGA in port of the Averkey converter.  For some older Macs, you will need to use the provided black monitor adapter.  If you're using a laptop, skip to step 4.
3. Connect the VGA monitor to VGA out port of the Averkey converter.  For some older Macs, you will need to use the provided gray monitor adapter.
4. Uncoil the yellow-tipped S-video connector from the cart and plug it into the S-video output on the Averkey converter.  The connector is labeled "DOCU".   Make sure you line up the cable properly or you will break the pins off the s-video connector.  Connect the Averkey converter's power adapter into the power in port on the Averkey converter and plug the  power adapter into the provided extension cord.
5. Turn on your computer.

1. Turn on the power strip located on the middle shelf of the cart.
2. Turn on the monitor and set the volume to mid-level using the remote control for the Sony TV, or the buttons on the monitor.  YOU MUST ALSO use the Polycom remote control and  set the volume on the Polycom unit.  If the volume on the TV is up and the volume on the Polycom is down, you will hear sound effects, but no no audio from the remote location.
3. You should see the Polycom logo appear on the monitor and the camera should run through a self test.  If this does't happen, make sure the power switch on the back of the teleconferencing unit is on, it is located behind the unit on the left side.
4. Once the unit is powered on, it will start searching for the local area network.

It should only take the unit a few seconds to find the network.  Once the newtwork is found, the Icon will turn green then disappear.  If the icon turns red, that means the teleconferencing unit can't find the network. 

To place a call, see page 27 of the Polycom 512 manual.

Problem	Solution
No audio	Volume on TV or conference system is turned down. Make sure the volume on both the TV and the conference system is turned up. The far site microphone is muted. The microphone is unplugged. The system needs to reload the audio drivers. Reboot the system.
Static in audio	The automatic gain control in the microphone did not calibrate properly during boot.   To recalibrate the AGC, either reboot the system or create a loud noise by tapping the microphone on the table.
