Polycom® CMA™ System Overview
•If the Polycom CMA system cannot find another bridge with the features and capacity needed to support a conference, the conference fails to start. The system does not attempt to modify the conference settings in any way. Instead, the system sends an email to notify the conference organizer of the failure.
•The system will chain bridge reassignments. This means that if the next bridge to which the system assigns a conference is down at the time the system tries to start the conference, the system will try to reassign the conference again.
•If the bridge to which the system reassigns a conference has ad hoc conferences on it, the Polycom CMA system is unaware of those conferences. The reassigned conference may fail to start if ad hoc conferences are consuming resources the Polycom CMA system expected to schedule. This is known behavior and is avoided by applying the best practice of not using bridges for both scheduled and ad hoc conferences.
Field Input Requirements
While every effort was made to internationalize the Polycom CMA system, not all system fields accept Unicode entries. If you work in a language other than English, be aware that the Polycom CMA system fields that accept only ASCII characters are shaded a light yellow.
For information about specific field requirements, see “System Field Input Requirements” on page 549.
Filter and Search a List
In the Polycom CMA system interface, information is often summarized in lists or grids.
Lists that include many items may have filters or searchable fields, which allow you to view a subset of items or search for a specific entry. The available filtering options depend on the type of information in the list. For example in the conference list:
•If you select Custom Date as the filter, a calendar filter field appears
•If you select Ongoing Plus as the filter, an attribute option appears. You can select the attribute Conference Name and enter all or part of the conference name into the associated text field.
In general, most text filter fields are ASCII only and the Polycom CMA system search function is a
