600 Series
CONNECTING THE IPOWER 600 SERIES INPUTS AND
OUTPUTS
In order to send and receive audio to the Polycom iPower 600 Series codec, you need to observe the
following procedure:
1. Connect one of the Outputs of the Vortex
®
device to the PowerMic Input of the codec. By default,
Outputs A-C of the Vortex device are mix-minus versions of the Inputs’ A-C signals.
You must use the PowerMic adapter cable in order to send audio into the codec. You
may order one by contacing your Polycom reseller and requesting part number CBL-
LINEAUDIO. You can also make your own cable. Click here for instructions.
2. Connect the line level output of the codec to one of the line level inputs of the Vortex device (Inputs
A-D). You may use one of the Mic/Line level inputs, but you need to disable all processing on that
input (AEC, AGC, NC, Automixer), disable Phantom Power, and set the input to line level versus the
default of mic level.
Follow the diagram below to make the proper physical connections to the codec. Do not
use any other audio inputs or outputs as they could cause an audio loopback to occur
within the codec.

7
Please follow our instructions for wiring the Vortex device to the codec. Failure to do so
may induce noise into the signals sent and received from the codec.
3. Raise the gain on the appropriate Input of the Vortex device to +10 dB.
4. Lower the gain on the appropriate Output of the Vortex device to -10 dB.
It is important to set the gain structure correctly so that you don't clip the input audio
stage of the codec and that the Vortex device gets a good signal to perform processing
with. The nominal input and output of the codec is .3 V rms. The nominal input and
output of the Vortex device is .775 V rms. This equates to a difference of 8.24 dB between
the two nominal levels. For simplicity, you may round that value to 10 dB.

SETTING THE AEC REFERENCE USING AN IPOWER 600
1. Open A
DMINTOOLS (there should be a shortcut on the desktop), select the AUDIO Category, and click
on the A
UDIO INPUTS tab. De-select USE ECHO CANCELLATION, USE NOISE SUPPRESSION, and USE
AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC)
2. Make sure that the Input to the Vortex device is assigned to the appropriate AEC Reference signal.
Consult the Reference Manual for the Vortex device or the Help file in Conference Composer
TM
for
more information.
3. Turn on the white noise generator in the Vortex device and assign it to the output that will be sent
to the iPower. If the output gain of the Vortex device is set to -10, set the crosspoint to -55. This is
required because if the input of the iPower does not detect a signal, it will turn on the built-in
microphone. Since the internal echo canceller of the iPower is disabled, the far end caller will hear
an echo.
As an example, here are the Mic/Line Inputs and the Matrix Mixer layout of a EF2280 that is
connected to a iPower 680 via Input / Output A:

TESTING THE AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
1. In order to run this test you simply press the Call Add Button as you would with any other test call,
dial a string 0000000 (seven zeroes) and then press the Call Now Button. At this point the call will
negotiate and you will see and hear yourself in a loopback.
2. Verify that you have enabled the white noise signal generator inside the Vortex device and have
assigned it to the output of the Vortex device that will feed the input of the codec. Please see the
section entitled “Setting the AEC Reference Using an iPower 600” and read Step 3.
WIRING FROM IPOWER TO VORTEX DEVICE
The inputs and outputs to the codec are unbalanced. We recommend keeping the cable
from the Vortex device as short as possible to avoid any common-mode signals that may
corrupt the audio.
INPUT TO IPOWER FROM OUTPUT OF VORTEX DEVICE (USING CBL-LINEAUDIO)
If you are using CBL-LINEAUDIO, connect the Positive conductor of the Vortex device to the Tip of the RCA
connector and the Negative conductor of the Vortex device to Shield of the RCA connector.
The shield of the cable is not connected.
Input to iPower from Output of Vortex Device (Using Self-Made Cable)
Connect the Positive conductor of the Vortex device to Pin 7 of DIN connector and the Negative conductor
of the Vortex device to Pin 4 of the DIN connector.
11
The shield of the cable is not connected.
OUTPUT OF IPOWER TO INPUT OF VORTEX DEVICE
Connect the Positive conductor of the Vortex device to the Tip of the RCA connector and the Negative
conductor of the Vortex device to Shield of the RCA connector.
The shield of the cable is not connected.
POWERMIC CABLE PINOUT
You can make your own PowerMic Interface Cable. You first need a 7-pin Mini DIN connector. Most
electronic supply houses should carry this connector. Once you've obtained the connector, connect the
Positive conductor from the Vortex device to Pin 7 of the DIN connector. Connect the Negative conductor
from the Vortex device to Pin 4 of the DIN connector. Do not connect the shield of the cable to the DIN
connector.
The PowerMic input is unbalanced in this configuration. We recommend keeping the
cable from the Vortex device as short as possible to avoid any common-mode signals that
may corrupt the audio.

and received from the codec.
3. Raise the gain on the appropriate Input of the Vortex device to +10 dB.
4. Lower the gain on the appropriate Output of the Vortex device to -10 dB.
It is important to set the gain structure correctly so that you don't clip the input audio
stage of the codec and that the Vortex device gets a good signal to perform processing
14
with. The nominal input and output of the codec is .3 V rms. The nominal input and
output of the Vortex device is .775 V rms. This equates to a difference of 8.24 dB between
the two nominal levels. For simplicity, you may round that value to 10 dB.
SETTING THE AEC REFERENCE USING AN IPOWER 900
1. Open AdminTools (there should be a shortcut on the desktop), select the Audio Category, and click
on the Audio Inputs tab. De-select Use Echo Cancellation, Use Noise Suppression, and Use
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
2. Make sure that the Input to the Vortex device is assigned to the appropriate AEC Reference signal.
Consult the Reference Manual for the Vortex device or the Help file in Conference Composer for
more information.
15
TESTING THE AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
INPUT / OUTPUT TESTING
Open Hardware Diagnostics. The shortcut should be located in the P
ROGRAMS, POLYCOM IPOWER,
A
DMINISTRATOR INFORMATION folder. Select TEST AUDIO. To test the input to the codec, select MICROPHONE A/V
BOARD. You should see level activity for the left channel only. Set the INPUT VOLUME to halfway.
16
To test the output of the codec, select I
NTERNAL 1 KHZ TONE and raise the OUTPUT VOLUME sliders to MAX.
This represents approximately 0 dB.
LOOPBACK TESTING
In order to make a successful loopback test with the iPower 900 Series, either all ISDN lines must be
connected or all ISDN lines must be disconnected.
If the ISDN lines are connected or disconnected, a reboot is needed prior to making a
loopback call.
1. Place a call with "0000000" (seven zeroes) and click on "Call Now" button.
2. Once the call has finished connecting, you should see and hear yourself.
