POLYCOM HDX 9000 SETUP

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I bought a Polycom HDX 9000. I am having issues setting up the equipment.

1. I put in the power cable and the internet cable to the Polycom HDX 9000

2. I connect the DVI cabel to the Polycom HDX 9000 and to the TV with a DVI to HDMI converter. (This works fine on a HDX 8000)


But I keep getting "no signal". I have now tried it on two Polycom HDX 9000

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thank you for getting back to me so fast.

• Is this a brand new unit or a used unit?
  Its a used unit, I bought it online.
  
  
• What is the serial number of this unit?
  I have attached a image of the label on the back. I expect this to be the serial.
  
  
• What environment is this unit used in aka is this in an air conditioned office?
  I dont know what the enviroment was before I bought it, but here in Switzerland its not that warm.
  
  
• Have you tried and factory restore the unit?
  I clicked the small button on the front, but nothing has happend.
  
  
• Did you follow the Video FAQ and checked via the Remote what Video Signal is set?
  I did click on "Display" for a 5 sec, then selected the different video signales. I tried them all but it did not work (It gives me 5 options, 1. Composite, 2. S-Video, 3. VGA, 4. Component, 5. DVI)
  
  Can you provide me with the link for the Video FAQ?
  
  I feel I have tried everything to get something on the screen - still "No signal" on my TV:
  
  - DVI to DVI (Computer screen)
  - DVI to HDMI (DVI to HDMI converter)
  - DVI to VGA  (DVI to VGA converter)

Hello Road,

the link to the FAQ is in my signature.

The unit is nearly 10 years old and not knowing if there is any activity when you try and power it up (The Admin Guide should describe what LED should light up) you may have purchased a defective unit.

Hey Road! have the same codec and use the HDX 9K in classrooms across West Texas. My thought is have you tried running CAT6? Cat cable runs are a lot easier to pull on runs then HDMI cables. My Polycom DVI cables feed the Kramer TP-45EDID and never had a problem with signal. If you choose to run HDMI, look at Kramer Devices. The techs are always helpful in answering any questions you may have. 

Another thought is check your Admin > Monitor settings. DVI and 720p is what I have selected for my HDX.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Thank you for the feedback.

I would like to do install the latest version of the software:
polycom-hdx-release-2_6_1_3-5205.pup

Can you provide me with the "license" file. I took a picture of my serial, top of this post.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for taking time to help out, I really appreciate that.

I have two HDX 9000 one works - when I put a HDMI converter on the DVI cable to the TV. The other one just says "missing signal".

I have a feeling it could be the software and a factory reset would help, but i clicked the button as well and nothing happends. The unit does start and everything. Perhaps I need to install the latest version, I dont know.

I am not sure how to use a cat6 cable, any feedback on how to get the device detected would be helpfull.
