Territories

The Territories page lists the territories defined in the site topology. On the right, it displays information about the selected territory.

A territory contains one or more sites for which a Polycom RealPresence DMA cluster is responsible. By default, there is one territory named Default RealPresence DMA Territory.

In a superclustered Polycom RealPresence DMA system deployment, additional territories allow you to assign different territories to different Polycom RealPresence DMA clusters and to specify a backup cluster for each territory to increase fault tolerance. If a territory’s primary cluster becomes unavailable for any reason, the backup cluster takes over the responsibilities for the territory.

Territories serve the following purposes:

●Sites are associated with territories, thus specifying which Polycom RealPresence DMA cluster is responsible for serving as the H.323 gatekeeper, SIP registrar, and SIP proxy for each site.

●Microsoft Active Directory integration is associated with a territory, thus specifying which Polycom RealPresence DMA cluster is responsible for connecting to the directory server, retrieving user and group data, and updating the shared supercluster data.

●Microsoft Exchange server integration (for calendaring service) is associated with a territory, thus specifying which Polycom RealPresence DMA cluster is responsible for integrating with the Exchange server and monitoring the Polycom Conferencing infrastructure mailbox.

●The Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s Conference Manager functionality is associated with territories, thus specifying which Polycom RealPresence DMA clusters are responsible for hosting conference rooms (VMRs). Up to three territories (and thus clusters) may have this responsibility.

If the system is integrated with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system, it receives territory information from that system, and the Territories page is view-only. If not, you can modify the territory information.

The commands in the Actions list let you add a territory and edit or delete territories, or if the system is integrated with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system, view details for a territory.

The following table describes the fields in the list and the sections on the right.
