Polycom® SoundStation® IP 5000 Phone User Guide  
Since you can customize your phone in many different ways, and your system  
administrator can enable and disable certain features, the user interface that  
displays on your phone may differ from the figures that appear in this guide.  
Note  
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 you set up your phone, the phone will be registered and ready to use.  
Not  
If your phone is not part of a large phone deployment, your phone may not be  
registered after you set it up. Before you use your phone, you or your system  
administrator will have to register it.

Configuring Your Phone Using the Polycom Web Configuration Utility  
This user guide explains how to update phone settings from your phone, using  
your phone’s menu system. If you want, you can update these settings  
remotely with the Polycom Web Configuration Utility.  
The phone’s Web Configuration Utility enables you to view and configure  
phone behavior from a computer using any compatible Web browser. The  
utility provides a browser-friendly view of your phone’s current settings.  
Using the utility, you can perform many of the same updates from your  
computer that you can perform using your phone’s menu system or  
configuration files.  
You can access the utility using any compatible Web browser installed on a  
computer that resides on the same network as your phone. Before you begin,  
you’ll need to know the IP address of your phone, and the login password of  
the phone user.  
For detailed information on accessing, navigating, and using the utility, see the  
Polycom Web Configuration Utility User Guide available from the SoundStation IP  
5000 Support Web page.  
Note  
To access the Web Configuration Utility for your phone:  
1. Launch a compatible Web browser from a computer on the same network  
as your phone.  
2. In the Address Bar of your Web Browser, enter the IP address of your  
phone.  
The IP address is comprised of four sets of numbers separated by periods.  
For example, if your phone’s IP address is 123.22.3.4, enter 123.22.3.4 in the  
address bar.  
3. Press the Enter key.  
4. From the Web Configuration Utility login screen, select User, and then  
enter the User password.  
The factory default password for a user is 123.  
5. Click Submit.

Broadcasting Messages Using Push-to-Talk and  
Group Paging  
The Group Paging feature enables you to make pages—one-way audio  
announcements—to users subscribed to a page group. The Push-to-Talk (PTT)  
feature is a collaborative tool that enables you to exchange broadcasts to users  
subscribed to a PTT channel, much like a walkie-talkie. Your system  
administrator can set up both features on your phone.  
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, such as All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, or Executives. Each  
group or channel will have one of the following priorities:  
Normal—By default, broadcasts sent to Groups/Channels 1 to 23 are  
considered Normal broadcasts. If two users begin a broadcast on the same  
group/channel at the same time, the phone with the lower serial number  
will continue to transmit while the other phone will enter the receiving  
state. By default, all phones are configured to receive broadcasts sent to  
Group/Channel 1.  
Priority—By default, broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 24 are  
considered Priority broadcasts. A Priority broadcast will interrupt Normal  
broadcasts or active calls. All phones receive Priority broadcasts unless  
Do Not Disturb is enabled. Phones play Priority broadcasts at the phone’s  
current audio level.  
Emergency—By default, broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 25 are  
considered Emergency broadcasts. An Emergency broadcast will  
interrupt Normal broadcasts, Priority broadcasts, and active calls and  
plays out at near maximum volume even if Do Not Disturb is turned on.  
Push-to-Talk Mode  
Your system administrator can enable your phone to operate in a broadcast  
mode called Push-to-Talk (PTT). In order to send and receive PTT broadcasts,  
you have to subscribe to PTT channels.  
PTT broadcasts are collaborative: you can transmit messages and listen to  
replies.  
Sending and Receiving PTT Broadcasts  
By default, you’re subscribed to Channels 1, 24, and 25. This means that you  
can send and receive PTT broadcasts 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 no one responds within the waiting period, the channel closes.

Sending PTT Broadcasts  
Before you can send a PTT broadcast, you need to choose a channel to  
broadcast on. Or, you can press and hold the Talk soft key to immediately  
begin broadcasting on Channel 1, the default channel.  
You can change your default channel to any channel you want (see Updating  
the Default Channel on page 43). When you change the default channel, you’re  
automatically subscribed to it.  
To send a PTT broadcast:  
1. Press the Talk soft key to select a channel to broadcast on.  
To automatically send a PTT broadcast on the default channel, press and hold the  
Talk soft key, and then go to step 4.  
2. From the PTT Channels List screen, select the channel to send the  
broadcast on.  
The list displays the default channel, the most recent channel you sent a  
broadcast on, and other channels you can broadcast on.  
3. To start the broadcast, press and hold the Talk soft key. Be sure to press  
the Talk soft key throughout the entire broadcast.  
You’ll hear a transmitting beep, and the phone will display the channel  
information, such as the channel label.  
4. Begin speaking.  
If you release the Talk soft key while you’re sending the broadcast, the broadcast  
temporarily stops and enters a 10 second waiting period. 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 no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the channel closes  
and the broadcast ends.  
5. When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:  
Release the Talk soft key.  
Press the End PTT soft key.  
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 44.  
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.  
When a broadcast ends, your phone emits an end of transmission beep and  
enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, you can respond to the  
broadcast (see Replying to PTT Broadcasts on page 42).  
Receiving PTT Broadcasts When You’re Not in an Active Call  
If you receive a broadcast and you’re not in an active call, the broadcast  
immediately plays, regardless of the broadcast priority.  
Receiving PTT Broadcasts During Active Calls  
How you handle a broadcast when you’re in an active call depends on the  
broadcast priority and if you’re allowed to receive a broadcast when you’re in  
an active call.  
If the broadcast is a Normal broadcast:  
If your phone is enabled to receive broadcasts during active calls, the  
broadcast immediately plays. You’ll hear both the original call and the  
broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the call.  
If your phone isn’t allowed to receive broadcasts during active calls, the  
broadcast displays as a held broadcast. To listen to the broadcast, scroll to  
the broadcast and press the Accept soft key.  
If the broadcast is a Priority or Emergency broadcast, the broadcast  
immediately plays. You’ll hear both the original call and the broadcast. To  
listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the call.  
Replying to PTT Broadcasts  
When a broadcast ends, the broadcast enters a 10 second waiting period.  
During this period, the channel remains open to receive or send additional  
broadcasts.

Polycom® SoundStation® IP 5000 Phone User Guide  
During a waiting period, you can press and hold the Talk soft key and talk to  
all the people listening on the channel. When you finish talking, release the  
Talk soft key. The broadcast will enter another waiting period until someone  
broadcasts again. If no activity occurs within the waiting period, the channel  
closes and no more broadcasts can take place.  
Ending PTT Broadcasts  
You can end a PTT broadcast by releasing the Talk soft key, or by pressing the  
End PTT soft key. After you end a broadcast, the channel remains open so  
others can respond.  
If you release the Talk soft key without pressing the End PTT soft key:

only system administrators can adjust the volume level of an Emergency  
broadcast.  
Muting PTT Broadcasts

New Zealand Telepermit  
Polycom SoundStation IP 5000 Handsfree VoIP Conference System (PTC 220/10/039).  
PTC General Warning  
The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the item  
complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by  
Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work  
correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply  
that any product is compatible with all of Telecom's network services.  
The CODEC and Optimum Packet Size for transmission through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)  
Because of the extensive delay already experienced when calling cellular and international networks, Telecom  
Access Standards recommends the use of 20mS or less packet length when passing packets through the PSTN.  
The use of G.711 codecs and 20mS or less packet length is critical to maintaining delay times which comply with  
PTC220 requirements (<50mS).  
Echo cancellation  
Echo cancellers are not normally required in the Telecom PSTN because geographic delays are acceptable where  
CPE return loss is maintained within Telepermit limits. However, those private networks making use of Voice over  
IP technology are required to provide echo cancellation for all voice calls. The combined effect of audio / VoIP  
conversion delay and IP routing delay can cause the echo cancellation time of 64 mS or more to be required.  
Australia Warning  
This equipment will not operate when mains power fails.  
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)  
All Polycom products comply with the requirements of the EU Directive Restriction of Hazardous Substances
