Power On Self Test (POST)
After the splash screen is displayed, the HDX system automatically performs
system health checks every time the system starts. As each check begins, a
message appears on Monitor 1.
If a test fails, press Hangup on the remote control to continue the startup
process. If you’re using the Polycom Touch Control, press Hangup on the
virtual remote control. However, even if the system appears to start up,
Polycom recommends that you contact Technical Support before using your
HDX system if any of the system tests fail.
Calling and Answering
Answering a Call
The way a Polycom HDX system handles incoming calls depends on how it is
configured. It either answers the call automatically, rejects the call
automatically, or prompts you to answer the call manually.
If the Polycom HDX system does not answer incoming calls automatically,
you are prompted to answer manually. Touch Answer or Ignore when a call
comes in.
