Poly G7500 Serial control

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I guess I¡¯ve been spoiled in only dealing with Cisco/WebEx hardware codecs for the past 5 or 6 years and kind of forgot Poly(com) existed.

?

I¡¯m building out the scope for a project that includes my first Poly G7500 codec. The consultant¡¯s drawings show RS232 control (it appears that the VTC network may be air-gapped from other networks in the building). Spec intention is point to point IP calling (no Teams, etc.)

?

Is there something existing that I can/should use (is 232 the API the same as the last generation Codecs)?

?

There¡¯s a v4.0.0 posted on the application market but it from the help file it¡¯s not clear that it supports RS232 (there¡¯s a communication mode parameter but ¡°serial¡±, ¡°232¡± and ¡°baud¡± aren¡¯t found in a help file)

?

it appears to be SSH only and I¡¯m a bit concerned by the note ¡°An updated version of this module will be published shortly¡± but it was last updated 2+ years ago

 

The 4.0.0 is what I am using via serial, but I've had to do some offboard processing as well to cover deficiencies in the module.

... and good luck with the G7500.? I have been less than impressed with them, though they are slightly better than they were a year and a half ago.? Also note that if they don't see a camera via HDCI at codec boot, you will only ever see a blue screen for your camera image.?
