Polycom 3725-76302-001LI manual RealPresence Platform API

Introduction to the Polycom DMA System Polycom® DMA™ 7000 System Overview

•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-outconferences in the DMA system (see “Edit Conference Room Dialog Box” on page 329)

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.
