Have some endpoints register with the Polycom DMA Call Server and make
point-to-point calls to each other.
On the Dashboard (see “Dashboard” on page352), verify that:
•The information in the Cluster Info pane looks correct, including the time,
network settings, and system resource information.
•The Supercluster Status pane shows the correct number of servers and
clusters, and the network interfaces that should be working (depending on
your IP ty pe a nd sp li t ne tw or k s ett in gs ) a re u p ( gr ee n up ar ro w) and in fu ll
duplex mode, with the speed correct for your enterprise network.
•The Call Server Registrations pane shows that the endpoints that
attempted to register did so successfully.
• The Call Server Active Calls pane shows that the endpoints that made
calls did so successfully, and the call limits per cluster and total are correct
for your licenses.
•The Conference Manager MCUs pane shows that the MCUs you added
are connected and in service.
•The information on the Active Directory Integration pane looks correct,
including the status, cache refresh data, and enterprise conference room
count.
Set up some multipoint conferences by having endpoints dial into enterprise
users’ conference rooms (preferably including a custom conference room).
Verify that conferencing works satisfactorily, that the system status is good,
and that the Conference Manager Usage pane accurately presents the status.
When you’re satisfied that the Polycom DMA system is configured and
working properly, manually create a backup, download it, and store it in a safe
place. See “Backing Up and Restoring” on page 381.
