for CMA system to the desired values (requires RMX v6.0 and above).
The ports reserved for the Polycom CMA system can be used by that

gateway profiles check box and, on the Gateway Profiles tab, specify a
dial string delimiter and add one or more session profiles.

conferencing resource, it’s placed into service.
Note
See all the notes in “MCUs” on page 131.
Note
This feature is not for use with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager
system. The RealPresence Resource Manager system must have exclusive use of
any MCUs on which it directly schedules conferences. Those MCUs should not be
added to the DMA system’s conferencing resources.
