Configure the Call Server and Optionally Create a Supercluster
Configuring the Polycom DMA system’s Call Server function consists of the
following high-level tasks:
1Integrate with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA
system (see “Resource Management System Integration” on page185) or
enter site topology information (see “Site Topology” on page283).
2If deploying a supercluster of multiple geographically distributed
Polycom DMA clusters:
aSet the Security Configuration page security options before
superclustering (see “Security Settings” on page 48). But wait until
after superclustering to do the rest of the security setup tasks.
bDepending on security settings, you may need to install certificates
before superclustering (see “Certificate Procedures” on page 42).
cCreate a supercluster (see “About Superclustering” on page 227) and
configure supercluster options.
3Create territories and assign sites to them (if you integrated with a
Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system, this must be
done on that system). Assign the primary and backup cluster responsible
for each territory, and designate which territories can host conference
rooms (see “Territories” on page302).
4Add any external devices, such as a neighbor gatekeeper or SIP peer (see
“Call Server Configuration” on page237).
5Configure the dial plan (see “Dial Rules” on page243).
Set Up Security
The first step in s ecuring your Pol ycom DMA system i s to locate it in a secure
data center with controlled access, but that topic is beyond the scope of this
document.
Secure setup of the Polycom DMA system consists of the following high-level
tasks (some of which assume you’re integrating with Active Directory and
some of which overlap with other initial setup topics):
