Polycom® RealPresence DMA® System Initial Configuration Summary

Note: API Licenses

An API license isn’t required in order for a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system to access the API. It’s only needed for a client application that you or a third party develop.

License the RealPresence DMA System, Appliance Edition

You should have received either one or two license numbers for each cluster, depending on whether you ordered a single-server or two-server cluster. You must obtain an activation key code for each server from the Polycom Resource Center (PRC):

1Enter the server’s serial number and the license number that you were given for that server. The PRC generates an activation key for that server.

2For a two-server cluster, repeat the process using the other server’s serial number and its license number.

3On the Licenses page of the RealPresence DMA system, install the activation keys to activate the licenses for your system (see Licenses on page 70).

Caution: Do Not Generate Both Activation Keys from the Same Physical Server

An activation key is linked to a specific server’s serial number. For a two-server cluster, you must generate the activation key for each server using that server’s serial number. Licensing will fail if you generate both activation keys from the same server serial number.

License the RealPresence DMA System, Virtual Edition

The RealPresence DMA Virtual Edition is deployed and licensed through Polycom RealPresence Platform Director. You can view the licensing information for your system from the RealPresence DMA system user interface on the Admin > Local Cluster > Licenses page.

See the RealPresence Platform Director System Administrator’s Guide for more information.

Note: Local Cluster Not Supported with Virtual Edition

The RealPresence DMA Virtual Edition does not support a two-server local cluster configuration. However, superclustering of individual RealPresence DMA Virtual Edition instances is fully supported in a virtual environment.

Set Up Signaling

Signaling setup includes configuring the following options:

●Enable H.323 signaling so that the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s Call Server operates as a gatekeeper, which may include:

Enable gatekeeper discovery via H.323 multicast.

Enable and configure H.235 device authentication.

●Enable SIP signaling so that the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s Call Server operates as a SIP registrar and proxy server, which may include:

Configure whether to support unencrypted SIP and whether to require certificate validation for TLS.

Enable pass-through of ANAT signaling (RFC 4091 and RFC 4092).
