DMA Operations Guide

Microsoft Exchange Server Integration

 

 

Note

Calendaring is not the same as scheduling. Using the Polycom Conferencing Add-in for Microsoft Outlook to set up a meeting appointment doesn’t reserve video resources, and invitations aren’t declined due to lack of resources.

The Polycom DMA system supports the use of Cisco Codian 4200, 4500, and MSE 8000 series MCUs as part of its conferencing resource pool. If you use Codian MCUs to host Polycom Conferencing (calendared) meetings, be aware of these limitations:

Codian MCUs don’t support the Polycom Conferencing Add-in’s recording and streaming options.

Codian MCUs don’t provide the “gathering phase” that RMX MCUs provide at the beginning of the conference.

Codian MCUs can’t receive and accept Outlook meeting invitations themselves, and can only be used if a DMA system is part of the Polycom Conferencing for Outlook solution.
