Polycom EF-IR11 Leaflet

Controlling your Vortex voice conferencing products is as simple as
the push of a button.  With a variety of controls at your fingertips, the
Vortex EF-IR11 controller makes it easy to adjust volume, bring a telephone
call into the conference, or execute custom commands.

Users of Vortex voice conferencing products fre-

quently need to move around the room.  For

example, a teacher in a distance learning class-

room might be moving between a whiteboard

and lectern, as well as walking up and down the

aisles in the classroom.  Users such as these

benefit from simple handheld controllers such as

the Vortex EF-IR11.

The EF-IR11 provides direct control of the Vortex

EF2280, EF2201, EF2211 and EF2241 products.

With the EF-IR11, a user can adjust volume,

mute and unmute audio, activate a phone line,

dial out or answer calls, or execute any of 35

macros that are user-programmed into the

Vortex units.  Macros could include instructions

for codec controls, muting and unmuting of tele-

phone callers or executing a preset in a Vortex

unit.  Dedicated buttons for two speed dial num-

bers (programmed into a Vortex telephone inter-

face) make it easy to connect to frequently-

called locations.

An EF-IR11 consists of the handheld device

(shown above) and a small infrared receiver

which connects to the RS-232 port on a Vortex

unit.  The receiver translates infrared signals to

RS-232 commands, which are then passed to all

linked Vortex units in the system.

With integrated video, voice, data, and Web capa-

bilities, The Polycom Office is the only solution

that offers you an easy way to connect, confer-

ence, and collaborate any way you want. The

Polycom Office is our commitment to making dis-

tance communications as natural and interactive

as being there.  Work faster, smarter, and better

with the Polycom Vortex EF-IR11 and The
