Enabling Basic Mode
Basic Mode is a limited operating mode that uses H.261 for video and G.711
for audio. It provides administrators with a workaround for interoperability
issues that cannot be solved using other methods. The Basic Mode setting stays
in effect until you change it.
To enable Basic Mode in the Polycom HDX system interface:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > Call Preference.
2. Select Basic Mode.
To enable Basic Mode using the web interface:
1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the system’s IP address, for example,
http://10.11.12.13 , to go to the web interface.
3. Go to Admin Settings > Network > Call Preference.
4. Select Enable Basic Mode.
