Introducing Your Phone
The SoundStation Duo conference phone is a dual-mode conference phone
that can operate in one of the following standard telephony modes:
•
•
PSTN mode—In this mode, the phone is connected to a standard (analog)
phone jack so calls can be made using the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN).
SIP mode—In this mode, the phone is connected to a Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) server so calls can be made over Internet Protocol (IP)
networks. In SIP mode, phones can use advanced features such as
messaging, forwarding, and transferring.
Your phone can be set up to operate in either mode. The mode your phone
operates in determines what features your phone will have.
Before You Use Your Phone
Generally, your phone will be deployed with multiple other phones. In this
case, your system administrator will configure the phone parameters
beforehand, so that after your phone is set up, the phone will be registered (for
SIP mode) or connected (for PSTN mode) and ready to use.
Your phone may be set up so that if it is unable to operate in SIP mode, it will
automatically switch—or ‘fail over’—to PSTN mode. When it fails over to
PSTN mode, SIP features (such as forwarding, transferring, and messaging)
will be unavailable.
During failover, all SIP calls will end. However, you will be able to place PSTN
calls immediately, without having to restart the phone. When SIP connectivity
is re-established, ongoing PSTN calls will continue. Subsequent calls you place
will use SIP mode.

Polycom® SoundStation® Duo Conference Phone User Guide
Your phone will only fail over from SIP to PSTN mode. It cannot fail over from PSTN
to SIP mode.
Configuring Your Phone for SIP Mode
If your phone is set up to operate in SIP mode, and isn’t part of a large phone
deployment, your phone may not be registered after it’s set up. Before you use
your phone, you or your system administrator will need to register it. For
detailed information on how to register your phone after it’s set up, see Quick
Configuring Your Phone for PSTN Mode
If your phone is set up to operate in PSTN mode, and no initial configuration
has been set, the first time the phone starts, you’ll be prompted to enter certain
information. Your phone requires this information to operate properly.
To configure your phone for PSTN use:
1
After your phone starts for the first time, the Select Country screen
automatically displays, as shown next. Use the Down Arrow key to select
the country your phone operates in, and then press the Select soft key.
2
After you select the country, the Select Language screen displays, as
shown next. Use the Down Arrow key to select the language you want
your phone to display, and then press the Select soft key.

Calling and Answering
Your phone can handle one active call or conference call at any one time. If call
waiting is enabled, your phone can handle two separate calls at one time: one
active call and one held call.
During a call, the phone displays the duration of the call, and the Line and Call
icon to indicate call status, as shown next. If your phone supports Caller ID,
and it’s correctly configured, then the name and number of the party you’re
talking with also displays.
For incoming calls, the name and number of the party you’re talking with only
displays if your phone is configured to support Caller ID, and the Caller ID feature is
available in your area. Caller ID is not supported in Japan.
During a call, the soft keys update so you can perform specific tasks.

Answering When You Have an Active or Held Call
If call waiting is enabled on your phone, you can answer a call when you’re
already in a call. When you answer the incoming call, the existing call will be
held. The incoming call cannot be joined into the existing call; only outgoing
calls can be joined into a conference call.
You can switch between the active call and the held call at any time. If you end
the active call, the held call automatically becomes the active call.
When a call arrives when you’re in a call, you’ll hear a call waiting beep. The
call won’t display on the phone screen. To answer the call, you need to activate
a hook flash—a quick off-hook/on-hook/off-hook cycle (just like picking up a
handset, putting it back in its cradle, and then picking it up again)—to signal
your phone to perform a special task. A special task includes placing an active
call on hold so another call can be placed, or connecting three parties in a
conference.
When you activate a hook flash, ‘Flash’ displays on the screen for about one
second, as shown next.
You won’t hear a call waiting beep if you have a held call. After you resume the held
call, you’ll hear the beep, and can answer the call.

Connecting Mobile Phone and Computer Audio
To connect a mobile phone or computer audio source to your conference phone,
you require optional cables that are not included with your conference phone. For
information about how to obtain the optional accessories, see your phone reseller.
For information on how to connect the cables to the 2.5mm port on your conference
phone, see the Quick Start Guide for the Polycom SoundStation Duo Conference
If you want to connect a mobile phone to the SoundStation Duo, be aware of the
following:
•
The optional Mobile Phone Cable connects to the headset connector on your
mobile phone. If your mobile phone does not support this type of connection,
you will need an adapter (not included).
•
Full duplex audio quality may not be supported when the SoundStation Duo is
connected for conferencing through a mobile phone, and diminished audio
quality may occur. This can be the result of poor signal quality on the mobile
phone network, as well as incompatibilities between the mobile phone and the
SoundStation Duo.
This feature allows you to use your conference phone to carry on
conversations from your mobile phone or computer’s calling and web
conferencing application (for example, Skype™, Microsoft® Lync™, IBM®
SameTime®, Cisco® WebEx®, or Citrix® GoToMeeting®).
For example, if you’re in a call on your mobile phone, you can connect your
mobile phone to the conference phone using Polycom’s Mobile Phone Cable.
Or, if you’re in a call using Skype, you could connect your computer to your
conference phone using Polycom’s Computer Calling Cable. Your conference
phone’s speaker and microphones can then be used to include everyone in the
conference room or office in the conversation.
Before you use a mobile phone or computer audio source with your phone,
you need to set the audio type so your phone will know what kind of audio is
connected.
Setting the Audio Type
You need to assign an audio type (mobile phone or computer) so your phone
knows what kind of audio is attached. When you select the appropriate audio
type, the SoundStation Duo will deliver optimal audio levels.

phone to automatically assume a computer is attached when a cable is
connected to your conference phone’s 2.5mm audio connector.
Listening to Mobile Phone or Computer Audio
Before you can listen to mobile phone or computer audio on your conference
phone, you have to answer a mobile phone or computer call using your mobile
phone or computer calling application interface. As well, you have to make
sure one of the optional cables connects your mobile phone or computer to
your conference phone. How you listen to mobile phone or computer audio on
your conference phone depends on if your conference phone is idle, has an
active call, or has held calls.
You mute and adjust the volume of mobile phone and computer calls the same way
Many computer calling applications automatically adjust the sound settings on your
computer when you launch the application. If the volume from the
SoundStation Duo is too high or too low, you may need to adjust your computer’s
volume settings.
Listening to Mobile Phone or Computer Audio When Your
Conference Phone is Idle
If your conference phone is idle, ‘From: PC-Mobile audio’ displays in the
center of the screen, as shown next. The mobile phone or computer audio
automatically becomes the active call, and you can hear any audio associated
with the mobile phone or computer calling application. If there isn’t any audio,
you can wait for a call, answer it from your mobile phone or computer calling
application, and then listen to the audio on your conference phone.

Handling Multiple Calls at a Time
Your phone can handle multiple calls at any given time. For example, if you
have an active call, you can answer an incoming call, as well as scroll to see
held calls. Since the phone screen can only display one call at a time, you have
to use the Scroll keys to see any additional calls.
By default, your phone can handle a maximum of eights calls at any given
time, but only one of the calls can be active. In total, your phone can handle
one active call and seven held calls, or eight held calls, at one time. A
conference call counts as one call.

Connecting Mobile Phone and Computer Audio
To connect a mobile phone or computer audio source to your conference phone,
you require optional cables that are not included with your conference phone. For
information about how to obtain these optional accessories, see your phone
reseller.
For information on how to connect the cables to the 2.5mm port on your conference
phone, see the Quick Start Guide for the Polycom SoundStation Duo Conference
If you want to connect a mobile phone to the SoundStation Duo, be aware of the
following:
•
The optional Mobile Phone Cable connects to the headset connector on your
mobile phone. If your mobile phone does not support this type of connection,
you will need an adapter (not included).
•
Full duplex audio quality may not be supported when the SoundStation Duo is
connected for conferencing through a mobile phone, and diminished audio
quality may occur. This can be the result of poor signal quality on the mobile
phone network, as well as incompatibilities between the mobile phone and the
SoundStation Duo.
This feature allows you to use your conference phone to carry on
conversations from your mobile phone or computer’s calling and web
conferencing application (for example, Skype™, Microsoft® Lync™, IBM®
SameTime®, Cisco® WebEx®, or Citrix® GoToMeeting®).
For example, if you’re in a call on your mobile phone, you can connect your
mobile phone to the conference phone using Polycom’s Mobile Phone Cable.
Or, if you’re in a call using Skype, you could connect your computer to your
conference phone using Polycom’s Computer Calling Cable. Your conference
phone’s speaker and microphones can then be used to include everyone in the
conference room or office in the conversation.
Before you use a mobile phone or computer audio source with your phone,
you need to set the audio type so your phone will know what kind of audio is
connected.
You can’t forward, reject, or transfer mobile phone and computer audio.
Setting the Audio Type
You need to assign an audio type (mobile phone or computer) so your phone
knows what kind of audio is attached. When you select the appropriate audio
type, the SoundStation Duo will deliver optimal audio levels.

connector.
— Computer Audio Choose this option if you want your conference
phone to automatically assume a computer is attached when a cable is
connected to your conference phone’s 2.5mm audio connector.
Listening to Mobile Phone or Computer Audio
Before you can listen to mobile phone or computer audio on your conference
phone, you have to answer a mobile phone or computer call using your mobile
phone or computer calling application interface. As well, you have to make
sure one of the optional cables connects your mobile phone or computer to
your conference phone. How you listen to mobile phone or computer audio on
your conference phone depends if your conference phone is idle, has an active
call, or has held calls.
You mute and adjust the volume of mobile phone or computer calls the same way
Many computer calling applications automatically adjust the sound settings on your
computer when you launch the application. If the volume from the
SoundStation Duo is too high or too low, you may need to adjust your computer’s
volume settings.

Broadcasting Messages Using Push-to-Talk and Group
Paging
The Group Paging and Push-to-Talk (PTT) features enable you to broadcast a
message to as many people as have subscribed to a channel or have been
placed in a group. Your system administrator can set up both features on your
phone.
Group Paging mode enables you to broadcast a one-way announcement to
people subscribed to a paging group. The people receiving the announcement
can’t respond to the message.
PTT mode enables you to broadcast a message to people subscribed to a
channel. The people receiving the message can respond to the message by
broadcasting a message over the same channel. In this way, PTT is a
collaborative broadcast mode.
Your system administrator can define up to 25 Paging Groups (for Group
Paging mode) or Channels (for PTT mode). Your system administrator may
assign a label to each group or channel that easily identifies the phones in the
group or channel (for example, All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, Executives, etc.).
Each group or channel will have one of the following priorities:
Normal (for Groups/Channels 1-23)—Broadcasts sent to Groups/Channels 1
to 23 are considered Normal broadcasts. When a phone receives more than one
Normal broadcast, the first broadcast received is accepted, and all others are
ignored (not played and not stored). By default, all phones receive broadcasts
sent to Group/Channel 1.
Priority (for Group/Channel 24)—Broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 24 are
considered Priority broadcasts. All phones receive Priority broadcasts unless
Do Not Disturb is enabled. If a phone receives a Priority broadcast while an
Emergency broadcast is already playing, the Priority broadcast is placed on
hold. Phones play Priority broadcasts at the phone’s current audio level.
93
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Polycom® SoundStation® Duo Conference Phone User Guide
Emergency (for Group/Channel 25)—Broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 25
are considered Emergency broadcasts. All phones receive Emergency
broadcasts (even if Do Not Disturb is enabled), and play them immediately. By
default, phones play Emergency broadcasts at the highest audio level. The
audio level will return to normal for subsequent non-Emergency broadcasts.
Push-to-Talk Mode
Your phone may be enabled to operate in a broadcast mode called
Push-to-Talk (PTT). In PTT mode, you broadcast messages on a specific
channel. In order to send and receive PTT broadcasts on certain channels, you
have to subscribe to those channels.
PTT broadcasts are collaborative: you can transmit messages and listen to
replies.
Sending and Receiving PTT Broadcasts
To send and receive PTT broadcasts, you need to subscribe to certain channels.
By default, you’re subscribed to Channels 1, 24 (the Priority channel), and
25 (the Emergency channel). This means that:
•
•
You can send PTT broadcasts on Channels 1, 24, and 25.
You’ll receive PTT broadcasts sent on Channels 1, 24, and 25.
When you end a PTT broadcast, the channel remains open and enters a waiting
period. This waiting period gives people who received the broadcast a chance
to respond. If noone responds within the waiting period, the channel closes.
Sending PTT Broadcasts
If you send a PTT broadcast without specifying a channel, it’s automatically
transmitted on the default channel. Channel 1 is the default channel that all
broadcasts transmit on, if no channel is specified for a broadcast.
You can change your default channel to any channel you want (see Updating
the Default Channel on page 99). If you change your default channel, you’ll
need to make sure you’re subscribed to that channel, or else the channel won’t
be available when you initiate a PTT broadcast. To subscribe to a channel, see
Updating Channel Subscriptions on page 99.

If you release the Talk soft key while you’re sending the broadcast, the broadcast
temporarily stops and enters a 10 second ‘Waiting’ period, as shown next. During
this period, the channel remains open to give people a chance to reply. At any time
during the waiting period, you can resume your broadcast by pressing and holding
the Talk soft key. If noone broadcasts during the waiting period, the channel closes
and the broadcast ends.

When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:
— Release the Talk soft key. The broadcast temporarily stops and enters

closes and the broadcast ends.
— Press the End PTT soft key. The broadcast temporarily stops and
enters a 10-second waiting period to allow others to reply. If there are
no replies, the channel closes and the broadcast ends. After you press
the End PTT soft key, you can immediately initiate another broadcast
on another channel, even if the previous broadcast is still in its waiting
period.
Receiving PTT Broadcasts
To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed
to that channel. To subscribe to a channel, see Updating Channel Subscriptions
on page 99.
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether
you’re in an active call, or if you’re allowed to receive broadcasts during active
calls.
You’ll receive broadcasts on the channels you’re subscribed to as well as
Channel 24 (the Priority channel) and Channel 25 (the Emergency channel). If
you’ve enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, you’ll only receive
Emergency broadcasts. Non-emergency broadcasts won’t display or play on
your phone.

enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, you can respond to the

Changing the Backlight
Your phone’s backlight has two components:
•
Backlight Intensity The brightness of the screen during phone activity
and inactivity. Backlight intensity has three settings:
— Backlight On The brightness of the screen when there is phone
activity.
— Backlight Idle The brightness of the screen when there is no phone
activity.
— Maximum Intensity The brightness scale that applies to both
Backlight On and Backlight Idle intensities.
•
Backlight Timeout The number of seconds the phone is inactive before
the backlight dims to its Backlight Idle intensity. The backlight timeout
period begins after your last key press or the last phone event, such as an
incoming call.
You can change the Backlight On intensity and the Backlight Idle intensity
separately. You can choose a high, medium, or low intensity, or turn the
backlight off entirely.
When you change the Maximum Intensity, you modify the entire backlight
intensity scale. For example, if you decrease the Maximum Intensity, the low,
medium, and high levels for both Backlight On and Backlight Idle intensities
decrease.
