Polycom computer calling kit data sheet

1. Computer Calling Kit Accessory for
SoundStation2™ and SoundStation2W™
The Computer Calling Kit enables your SoundStation2* or
SoundStation2W to connect to a computer through the 2.5mm
Applications Port built into the conference phone. This allows you
to hold productive conference calls over the Internet. You can now
use your Polycom conference phone with Internet phone services
such as Skype™, MSN® Messenger, and Yahoo!® Messenger, as
well as with computer-based softphone clients. The Computer Calling
Kit also enables the phones to work with the Polycom PVX™ desktop
video conferencing application, serving as the microphone and speaker
for desktop video calls.
Typical computer microphones and speakers are not designed for
phone calls, and do not have the proper acoustics or microphones to be used by multiple people in the same room. Now with your Polycom
phone, several people can participate in your Internet phone calls, and individual users will enjoy a high-quality Internet calling experience
without being tied down by a headset.
Connecting your SoundStation2 or SoundStation2W to your computer is easy: Simply connect the computer calling cable to the Applications
Port on your Polycom conference phone at one end. Then, attach the other end to your computer's microphone and speaker ports. The cable is
included in Polycom's new Computer Calling Kit accessory, and is also included with the SoundStation2W EX.
Key Benefits
Use Internet phone calls for real-time communications and collaboration
No more struggling with microphones that have a one to two-foot range. Multiple users can participate on your end of the call, boosting
productivity and eliminating the hassle of crowding around a single microphone.
Untether yourself from your headset
Enjoy high-quality Internet calls without using your headset. You are free to move around the room, thanks to Polycom's industry-leading voice
quality and microphone coverage.
Easy to set up and use
The cable is easy to plug into your conference phone, computer microphone, and speaker ports. No special software is needed to use your
SoundStation2 or SoundStation2W with your computer, other than your Internet telephone service – just plug in and start talking. Plus, it can
be used with most computers and operating system, including Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.
