Introduction to the Polycom DMA System Polycom® DMA™7000 System Overview
Polycom, Inc. 3
•Bandwidth management
The Call Server can also be integrated with a Juniper Networks Service
Resource Controller (SRC) to provide bandwidth and QoS assurance services.
RealPresence Platform API
This version of the Polycom DMA system optionally allows an API client
application, developed by you or a third party, to access the RealPresence
Platform Application Programming Interface (API). This API access is licensed
separately. It provides programmatic access to the Polycom DMA system for
the following:
•Provisioning
•Conference control and monitoring
•Call control and dial-out
•Billing and usage data retrieval
•Resource availability queries
The API uses XML encoding over HTTPS transport and adheres to a
Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture.
No separate license is needed in order for a Polycom RealPresence Resource
Manager system to integrate with the DMA system via the API. This
integration provides the full programmatic access to the DMA system
described above, and enables users of the RealPresence Resource Manager
scheduling interface to:
•Schedule conferences using the DMA system’s MCU resources.
•Set up Anytime conferences. Anytime conferences are referred to as preset
dial-out conferences in the DMA system (see “Edit Conference Room
Dialog Box” on page329)
Note
Integrating the Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system with the DMA
system via the API is separate and distinct from integrating the DMA system with a
Polycom CMA or RealPresence Resource Manager system.
•The former enables RealPresence Resource Manager users to obtain
information from and use functionality of the DMA system that would otherwise
be accessible only in the DMA system’s management interface.
•The latter enables the DMA system to retrieve site topology and user-to-device
associations from the CMA or RealPresence Resource Manager system.
For convenience, however, when you perform the former operation, the latter
integration is automatically performed for you so that the DMA system will have the
site topology and user-to-device information that the RealPresence Resource
Manager system expects it to have.
