Polycom Video Endpoints
Polycom video endpoints have an embedded web server that allows you to manage the unit
from a remote PC on the same local area network. Any endpoint can be managed by calling up
it’s IP address in any web browser. To remotely manage a system through Global Management
System, select the system of interest in the system list and then click on the Manage System
button. A new browser window will appear displaying the endpoint’s web page.
Remote Management allows you to:
• Run diagnostic tests on a system
• Change the system conguration for the endpoint
• Place a call from the system for line status verication
Certain video endpoint models require specic setups in order to access the web interface. See
