Site Information Dialog Box

Lets you view information about the selected site, including which subnets are associated with it and counts of the devices it contains.

The following table describes the fields in the dialog box, all of which are read-only.

Field

Site Info

Description

Site name	Name of the site.
	Note: If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see Embedded
	DNS on page 274), the system uses the site name to create the Logical host
	name (see below). We strongly recommend:
	• Using site names that contain only characters permitted in a host name
	(letters, numbers, and internal hyphens).
	• Entering network/DNS-related information in all lower case to avoid
	possible case-sensitivity issues with various devices and ensure
	interoperability.
Description	A brief description of the site.
Logical host name	If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see Embedded DNS on
	page 274), this is the logical FQDN that endpoints in this site should register
	to.
	The system generates this by combining “callserver,” the site name, and the
	value specified in the Call server sub-domain controlled by RealPresence
	DMA field on the Embedded DNS page.
	If the site name contains a character not permitted in a host name, the system
	replaces it with a dash (hyphen) followed by the hex code of the ASCII
	character. For instance, if the site is named “paris (north)” and the call server
	sub-domain is “callservers.example.com,” the logical host name would be:
	callserver-paris-20-28north-29.callservers.example.com
Device Types
MCUs	The number of MCUs in the site.
RealPresence DMAs	The number of Polycom RealPresence DMA systems in the site.
VBPs	The number of Polycom Video Border Proxy NAT/firewall traversal appliances
	in the site.
Endpoints	The number of registered endpoints in the site.
Subnets	A list of the subnets in the site.
