Powering On and Off
Connect the power and power on the RealPresence Group System after you
have connected all of the equipment that you will use with it. Make sure that
the system is powered off before you connect devices to it.
It is important to note that Polycom RealPresence Group systems do not have
what you may think of as a power button—they have a power proximity sensor.
Instead of pressing an actual button that moves, you touch the sensor (or near
the sensor) that indicates power on the front of the system.
To power on the RealPresence Group System, do one of the following:
• Press any button on the remote control or pick up the remote control to
wake up the system if it is asleep.
• Press on the remote control.
• Touch and hold the power sensor on the front of the system. Because
the power sensor is touch sensitive, you can touch your finger on or close
to the sensor.
The Polycom splash screen is displayed within several seconds.
To shut down the RealPresence Group System, do one of the following:
• Press and hold on the remote control.
• Touch and hold the power sensor on the front of the system. The indicator
light changes color and blinks, indicating that the system is shutting
down. Release the power sensor when the indicator light changes color.
Power On Self Test (POST)
After being powered on, the RealPresence Group systems automatically
perform system health checks before the systems are initialized. This process
is known as a power on self test, or POST. The status of the POST sequence is
displayed with the LED indicator light on the front of the device, or in the case
of the RealPresence Group 700 system, in the text field display on the front of
the system. All test results are logged in the system’s memory. For more
information about what the colors of the indicator lights mean, refer to the
Administrator’s Guide for Polycom RealPresence Group Series.
When the POST sequence completes with no fatal errors, the RealPresence
Group system starts normally.
Warning errors that occur on the RealPresence Group system during POST can
be found under System > Status > Active Alerts. For more details, use your
remote control to select More Information.
