Resource Management System Integration

Integrating with a resource management system (either a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system or a Polycom CMA system) provides the Polycom RealPresence DMA system with:

●All site topology information configured in the RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system.

The Polycom RealPresence DMA system uses site topology information for a variety of purposes, including cascade for bandwidth conferences, bandwidth management, and Session Border Controller selection. See About Cascading on page 193 and About the Call Server Capabilities on page 233.

●All user-to-device associations configured in the RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system.

The Polycom RealPresence DMA system uses user-to-device association to assign classes of service to endpoints based on the user they belong to. See Associate User Dialog Box on page 99.

Note: Split Network configuration and resource management system integration

The RealPresence DMA system currently does not support integration with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system when configured for split network interfaces on the Admin > Local Cluster > Network Settings page.

Integrating with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system allows you to configure site topology and user-to-device associations in one place instead of two, ensuring consistency. If you don’t have a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system (or for some reason don’t want to integrate to it), both kinds of information can be manually configured on the Polycom RealPresence DMA system.
