1 - 2
• Ethernet port for easy configuration and device management
SoundStructure devices are configured with Polycom's SoundStructure Studio
software, a Windows®-based comprehensive design tool used to create audio
configurations that may be created online or offline, uploaded to devices, and
retrieved from devices.
For detailed information on how to install, terminate cables, and connect other
devices to the SoundStructure devices, refer to the SoundStructure Hardware
Installation Guide. For information on the SoundStructure API command
syntax used to configure SoundStructure devices and control the devices with
third party controllers, refer to the SoundStructure Command Protocol
Reference Guide in Appendix A. The SoundStructure Command Protocol
Reference Guide can also be found by pointing a browser to the
SoundStructure device’s IP address.
This manual has been designed for the technical user and A/V designer who
needs to use SoundStructure products, create audio designs, customize audio
designs, and verify the performance of SoundStructure designs. This manual
is organized as follows:
• Chapter 2 is an introduction to the SoundStructure products including the
OBAM™ architecture and details of the signal processing available for
inputs, outputs, telephony, and submix processing.
• Chapter 3 presents the SoundStructure design concepts of physical
channels, virtual channels, and virtual channel groups. These concepts are
integral to making SoundStructure products easy to use and enable
control system application code to be reused and portable across multiple
installations.
• Chapter 4 describes how to use the SoundStructure Studio windows
software to create a design. Start with this section if you want to get up and
running quickly using SoundStructure Studio.
• Chapter 5 provides detailed information on customizing the design
created with SoundStructure Studio including all the controls presented as
part of the user interface. Start with this chapter if you have a design and
would like to customize it for your application.
• Chapter 6 provides information on the Conference Link2 interface and
how SoundStructure devices integrate with the Polycom HDX video
conferencing system.
• Chapter 7 provides information on how to install, set signal levels, and
validate the performance of the SoundStructure devices. Start here if you
have a system already up and running and would like to adjust the system
in real-time.
• Chapter 8 provides information for the network administrator including
how to set IP addresses and how to view the internal SoundStructure logs,
and more.
