When connecting to a videoconference meeting at IU, how do I enter a conference code or PIN number using the Polycom remote as a telephone keypad?

When connecting to a videoconference meeting at Indiana University, you may need to enter a conference code or PIN number. Because the remote controls for both the videoconferencing room and desktop videoconferencing systems are capable of transferring DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) tones (the same tones you hear when you use a telephone keypad), you can use the remotes to enter your conference code or PIN number. To do so, complete the appropriate steps below:

From a Polycom or Tandberg group system

  1. On the remote control, press #.

    This activates the DTMF tone dialer; you will see a keypad icon in the upper right corner of your TV screen.

  2. Using the remote control, enter the conference or PIN number.

  3. To complete the entry, press #.

From a Polycom PVX or ViaVideo desktop system

  1. Click Controls; this is usually located in the bottom right corner of your PVX or ViaVideo application window.

  2. Select the Keypad tab.

  3. Using the remote control, enter the conference or PIN number.

  4. To complete the entry, press #.
