MCUs MCU Management

Note

For H.323 calls to a conference room (virtual meeting room, or VMR), the Polycom DMA system can only do bandwidth management if the MCU hosting the conference room is registered with it (in a supercluster, with any cluster). If the MCU is unregistered, or is registered to another gatekeeper (not part of the supercluster), the bandwidth for the call is not counted for bandwidth management, site statistics, or the network usage report.

In a SIP signaling environment, in order for a Polycom RMX MCU to register with the DMA system’s Call Server, two system flags on the MCU must be set properly:

•Set the MS_ENVIRONMENT flag to NO.

•Make sure the SIP_REGISTER_ONLY_ONCE flag is set to NO or not present.

In order for the Polycom DMA system to assign an alternate gatekeeper to an MCU, that MCU must be in a site that belongs to a territory which has a backup Polycom DMA system assigned to it.

The following table describes the fields in the list (the View Details command lets you see this information in a more readable form for the selected MCU).
