Polycom 1500/1800/2000/4000 manual Configuring the Microsoft, Cisco and Polycom Components

Appendix I - Polycom Open Collaboration Network (POCN)

TIP-enabled endpoint with three screens must be handled by the same media processor. This endpoint may fail to connect if there is no one fully free media (ART) processor available.

The MCU will always try to fill up one media processor with up to three TIP-enabled endpoint with one screen, to save free media processors for TIP-enabled endpoint with three screens.

When monitoring an ongoing Telepresence conference with TIP-enabled endpoints (Cisco and Polycom), virtual participants are used to indicate the additional screens in the in the Web Client. For example, if the endpoint has three screens, the system will display three participants, one for each screen.

An additional virtual Audio Only participant is used for the audio only telephone connected to the TIP endpoint.

System capacity per MPMx card and resolution is summarized in the following table:

MPMx Resolution Capacities

No. of media processors	No. of TIP screens per	720p30 ports	1080p30 ports
(ART) per card	media processor
10	3	30	15

Configuring the Microsoft, Cisco and Polycom Components

Carry out the following steps to configure the various system components to enable TIP.

To configure the Microsoft, Cisco and Polycom components:

1Configure a SIP Trunk connection between the Polycom DMA system and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM).

For more information see the Polycom Unified Communications Deployment Guide for Cisco Environments

2Register the Collaboration Server to the Lync Server

a Install a Security Certificate on the Collaboration Server.

The Certificate is obtained from the System Administrator and saved on the Workstation. b In the SIP Servers tab of the IP Network Services Properties dialog box:

1 In the Certificate Method drop-down menu, select PEM/PFX. 2 Click the Send Certificate button.

The Install File dialog box is displayed.
