Resource Management System Page The Resource Management System page contains the Join Resource
Management System command, which you use to integrate with your
Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system. When the system
is integrated with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system,
it contains the Leave Resource Management System command, which you
use to terminate the integration.
Note
RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA integration is not supported in
Maximum security mode. See “The Consequences of Enabling Maximum Security
Mode” on page54 .
If you want to support cascading, but don’t have a Polycom RealPresence
Resource Manager or CMA system, you must create site topology information on
the Polycom DMA system. See “Site Topology” on page283.
The cascade links between RMX MCUs must use H.323 signaling. For conferences
with cascading enabled, the Polycom DMA system selects only MCUs that have
H.323 signaling enabled.
This cascade link requirement doesn’t affect endpoints, which may dial in using SIP
(assuming the MCUs and the Polycom DMA system are also configured for SIP
signaling).
Note
A RealPresence Resource Manager system (but not a CMA system) can be
integrated with (connected to) the DMA system. This enables it to use the DMA
system’s RealPresence Platform API to set up and monitor scheduled and preset
dial-out (anytime) conferences using the DMA system’s resources (see
“RealPresence Platform API” on page3).
When you integrate the RealPresence Resource Manager system with the DMA
system (from its management interface), the DMA system is automatically
integrated back to the RealPresence Resource Manager system (the integration
described here).
