Polycom System Environment Components

This section describes the Polycom RealPresence components that are used in the SVC conferencing solution. Additionally, it describes the component and endpoint interoperability.

RealPresence Access Director

The RealPresence Access Director (RPAD) is an expanded firewall traversal solution that makes it easier for conference participants, inside or outside the firewall, to video conference safely with anyone in the organization, whether they are in a secure environment at the office or an unsecure environment at home or away.

For more information on using the RealPresence Access Director, see the Polycom® RealPresence® Access Director™ System Administrator’s Guide.
