Features and Benefits Installation
How It Works
Voice+Content at the push of a button – Share any type of visual content on your computer screen simply
by dialing your Polycom conference phone. Compatible with all Polycom wired, analog conference phones.
Start your meeting on time every time – Instant content sharing without wasting time on downloading
applications, uploading documents, advance scheduling and user training. Anyone can use it!
Content Security - Keep complete control over your document. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) media
encryption on QSX to QSX calls and secure login for Web browser access ensure content is protected.
Multi-point capability – Each QSX session can support up to 15 sites - five QSX sites and ten sites via
a standard Web browser. Only one QSX is needed to share content with remote participants who have access
to a Web browser. Network Address Translation (NAT) configuration option for Web viewers is available.
On QSX to QSX calls, any QSX site can become the presenter simply by pressing the share button on their
local QSX. It's that easy!
Cost effective – Avoid on-going monthly service charges. QSX provides unlimited content sharing with
a quick ROI in just a few months.
Fast setup, flexible management – Typical one-time set up takes less than 30 minutes. Plug-and-play
installation with existing Polycom conference phones and any VGA projector. Multiple privacy and
access options.

locations simply by dialing a Polycom conference phone. It's an easy and secure screen sharing
solution that anyone can use.
