We currently have 4 SoundStation IP7000 conference phones.

For one of them, we were looking at getting the Polycom Ceiling Array, to improve sound quality etc

Upon looking online here:

http://www.polycom.com/content/dam/polycom/common/documents/faqs/soundstation-ip-7000-faq-enus.pdf

I found that:

"If Microphone Array(s) or Ceiling Microphone(s) are connected to a single SoundStation IP 7000 without a HDX or RealPresence Group system as a source of power, a Multi-Interface Module accessory is required to power the daisy-chained configuration of one (1) conference phone and up to two (2) microphones arrays. Two daisy-chained SoundStation IP 7000s support a total of one (1) Microphone Array when powered via a MultiInterface Module accessory."

I realised that we need to get the Multi-Interface Module.

However I cannot find anything online or in the manuals on how they need to be configured. Daisy chained, 10pin Ethernet cables etc.

I have phoned Polycom who told me that you cannot use the Ceiling Array with the IP7000 - yet, as shown above, in the PDF for the IP7000, it says you can.

 

Can anyone clear this up for me?
