Using the Polycom Touch Control as a Virtual Remote
Control
The Polycom Touch Control uses an IP connection to communicate with the RealPresence Group Series.
If this connection is lost for more than 2 minutes, error messages display on the RealPresence Group
Series system monitor and the Polycom Touch Control screen.
After you are disconnected, you can use a virtual remote control on the Polycom Touch Control to access
the Polycom Touch Control until the connection is restored. The virtual remote control sends IR signals
across the room, so make sure the back of the Polycom Touch Control is facing the RealPresence Group
Series system camera.
Virtual Remote Control
When the IP connection is restored, the virtual remote control is no longer available.
