Device description:
PolyCom systems are designed to do one thing: make it easier to
communicate with people face to face. Because long distances often
make this infeasible, videoconferencing is becoming quite popular. When
you use the PolyCom ViewStation 128 you can interact with people, in
real time, through a video connection. They can see and hear you just as
you can see and hear them.
This document explains how to setup your PolyCom ViewStation 128 and
how to use it. This document also includes help troubleshooting common
problems with installation and use. Finally, this document provides
contact information for people and groups that can help you setup and
use your PolyCom ViewStation 128.

Installation Guide
This section will explain how to perform a normal installation of a
PolyCom ViewStation 128 video conference device. This installation
requires that you have a television with an S-Video input and access to
the Internet.
Locate all the parts:
ViewStation 128
Base Unit
This is the camera for the
teleconferencing system. It is placed
on top of the television screen.
Microphone Used to increase the quality of voice
transmission.
Remote Control This is the only way to control the
video conference device.
Power Cable The cable plugs into a power outlet in
the wall in the conference room.
Audio Cables
This cable is red and white tipped and
connects to the television’s audio
inputs.
LAN Cable
This cable is probably orange tipped
and connects the video conference
device to the Internet.
Video Cable
This cable is yellow tipped and
connects the video conference device
to the television.
Microphone Cables
This cable is brown tipped and
connects the microphone to the video
conference device.
Documentation The manuals come on CDs and in
printed form.
If you are missing a part listed stop and do not continue. Contact the
person who shipped you the device and confirm you have all the parts
you need to safely complete the installation. Missing or substandard
parts increase the likelihood that the unit will become damaged during
use.

Follow these steps in connecting the cables:
It will probably be easiest to set the base unit (the camera) on a flat
table while connecting the cables. Once you are finished, place the base
unit on top of the television set. Placing the base unit on top of the
television set while connecting cables can be awkward and the base
unit may be knocked to the ground.
Plug the LAN cable into the orange LAN port on the
base unit. Then plug the other end of the LAN cable
into the Internet jack in your wall.
Plug the audio cable into the bottom red and white
jacks on the base unit. Then plug the other end of the
audio cable into the red and white audio in jacks on
the television.
Plug the video cable into the bottom yellow video jack
on the base unit. Then plug the other end of the video
cable into the yellow video jack on the television.
Plug the microphone cable into the brown microphone
jack on the base unit. Then plug the other end into
the microphone.
Plug the power cable into the power connector on the
base unit. Then plug the other end into a power outlet
in the wall. Also ensure the television is plugged into
a power outlet on the wall.
Batteries should already be in the remote control. If
not, place three AAA batteries in the remote control.
At this point the PolyCom ViewStation 128 is connected and ready for its
first use. The next section of this document will explain how to turn the
device on and make a call.

Instructions for Use
Turning the device on:
Begin by turning the television on.
The PolyCom ViewStation 128 has a power switch on the
back of the device on the right side of the back panel.
The video conference device can take as long as 10 seconds
to start. Once it does you should see a short movie on the
television screen with dancing triangles (the logo for the
company PolyCom).
Once you see the main menu page you are ready to use your
PolyCom ViewStation 128 system to video conference.
Many television sets have multiple inputs. You may have to change the
channel on the television in order to use the PolyCom video conference
device. Your television’s remote probably has a button called “Line” or
“Input.” Try changing inputs if you are having problems getting a
picture. See page 21 for details.

Using the remote control:
There are many buttons on the PolyCom ViewStation 128 remote control.
However, most applications only require a few of the buttons. The most
commonly used are highlighted here:
You must have the remote control in order to use the PolyCom
ViewStation 128 video conference device. It runs on three AAA batteries.
The rest of this document will explain how to use the PolyCom
ViewStation 128 video conference device. You will need the remote
control.

Making your first call:
You should be looking at the main menu. Use the
red arrow buttons to highlight the various
options on the main menu. To start a video
conference call, highlight “Video Call” and press the
red enter button on the remote control.
On the dialing page use the numbers on the remote
control to enter an IP number to call. To type a dot
press the red right arrow button .
Press the green Call button at the top of the
remote control to initiate the call. You will hear a
ringing sound and see yourself on the screen while
the call connects. Once the call connects you will
see the person you are calling. You will also see the
name of the PolyCom video conferencing device you
are calling along the bottom of the screen.
The video conference device you are calling must be turned on before
you can call it. If you have trouble connecting ensure the device you
are calling is on by using the telephone to call someone at that location.
Make sure you obtain the IP number for the device you will call during a
video conference. If you do not have this number you will not be able
to make a call.
