Set Up Signaling Polycom® DMA™ System Initial Configuration Summary

•Whether the RealPresence Platform Application Programming Interface (API) is enabled. The API provides an API client application with programmatic access to the Polycom DMA system (see “RealPresence Platform API” on page 3). In a supercluster, all clusters must have the same API licensing status.

Note

An API license isn’t required in order for a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system to access the API. It’s only needed for a client application you or a third party develop.

You should have received either one or two license numbers for each cluster, depending on whether you ordered a single-server or two-server cluster.

You must obtain an activation key code for each server from the Polycom Resource Center (PRC). You enter the server’s serial number and the license number that you were given for that server, and the PRC generates an activation key for that server. For a cluster, you repeat the process using the other server’s serial number and its license number. Installing the activation keys activates the licenses for your system.

Caution

An activation key is linked to a specific server’s serial number. For a two-server cluster, you must generate the activation key for each server using that server’s serial number.

Licensing will fail if you generate both activation keys from the same server serial number.

To activate the system license, follow the procedure in “Licenses” on page 70.

Set Up Signaling

Signaling setup includes enabling H.323, SIP, or both, and optionally setting the prefix for dialing into the system.

Note

The addition of the Call Server and superclustering features to the Polycom DMA system required significant changes to the signaling internals. One consequence of these changes is that the Polycom DMA system can no longer register to an external gatekeeper as an MCU. Instead, it can neighbor to an external gatekeeper as another gatekeeper. As a result, if you’re upgrading from a version that didn’t include the Call Server functionality or that operated in what was known as “legacy signaling mode,” you need to reconfigure your external gatekeeper.
