Set Up MCUs

Note

The Polycom DMA system can interact with MCUs, or media servers, in either or both of the following two ways:

•MCUs may be made available to system’s Conference Manager to manage for multi-point conferencing (hosting virtual meeting rooms, or VMRs).

•MCUs may be registered with the system’s Call Server as standalone MCUs and/or gateways.

This configuration summary assumes you want to do both.

Make sure your RMX MCUs are configured to accept encrypted (HTTPS) management connections (required for maximum security mode).
