Get Started 
You can make a variety of call types using the Polycom CX5500 system, as discussed in the following 
sections, which also introduce the CX5
500 system’s hardware and how to connect, configure, and sign in 
using your system. This section also includes best practices for effective camera tracking. 
As you read this guide, keep in mind that many features are enabled or disabled by your system 
administrator. Your system might look different from the examples shown in this guide, and all of the 
features described in this guide may not be available to you. In addition, your network environment can 
also limit the number of features available to you.  
About the Polycom CX5500 Unified Conference 
Station 
You can use the Polycom CX5500 Unified Conference Station to make the following types of calls: 
● 
Audio and video calls made using Microsoft
®
 Lync
. When your CX5500 system is connected to a 
computer running Lync client, the system provides a 360-degree view of the conference room and 
automatically identifies the active speaker. 
● 
Audio-only conference calls with Open SIP voice platforms or in a Lync Server environment. 
You can also make calls in Lync client and conference calls on the CX5500 system at the same time. In 
this scenario, the audio from both calls is automatically bridged together enabling all callers to 
communicate with each other. Note that you cannot control calls made in Lync client on the CX5500 
system. 
Use the CX5500 System with Microsoft Lync Client  
When you connect the CX5500 system to a computer running Lync client, you can access the 
collaboration capabilities of Microsoft Lync voice, video, and content while automatically tracking the flow 
of conversation. The CX5500 system provides integrated cameras, a speaker, and microphones on one 
device. When the system is connected to a computer using a USB cable and port, you can place, answer, 
and control Microsoft Lync audio and video calls on the CX5500 system. 
During a call, the integrated cameras capture the entire panoramic view of your conference room, and the 
integrated microphones capture the voices of participants at every location around the table. The system 
also automatically shows the person who is speaking during a call, along with a 360-degree view of the 
other participants in the room.
