Address Book
The Address Book is your database and information storage for the
people and businesses you communicate with. The Address Book stores,
among many other fields, IP addresses, phone numbers and network
communication protocols used by the participant’s endpoint. By utilizing
the Address Book users are able to quickly and efficiently assign or
designate participants to conferences. Groups defined in the Address
Book help facilitate the creation of conferences. Rather than adding each
participant individually to a conference, groups enable multiple
participants to be added to a conference.
The maximum number of entries in the RMX internal Address Book is
1000. When using the Polycom CMA Global Address Book, all entries are
listed.
Importing and exporting of Address Books enables organizations to
seamlessly distribute up-to-date Address Books to multiple RMX units. It
is not possible to distribute Address Books to external databases running
on applications such as Polycom’s ReadiManager (SE200) or Polycom CMA.
External databases can run in conjunction with RMX units, but must be
managed from the external application, e.g. new participants cannot be
added to the external database from the RMX Web Client. To enable the
RMX to run with an external database such as Polycom CMA, the
appropriate system configuration flags must be set. For more information,
see "System Configuration” on page16-10.
Integration with Polycom CMA Global Address Book is supported. For details,
see "Integrating the Polycom CMA™ Address Book with the RMX” on
page 5-22. Integration with the SE200 GAB (Global Address Book) is not
supported.
