Add Endpoint Dialog Box

The Add Endpoint dialog box lets you manually add a device to the system.

When you add an endpoint manually, the system applies its registration policy script (see Registration Policy on page 264) to determine the device’s compliance level (compliant or noncompliant with the policy), and then applies the admission policy associated with that result to determine the registration status of the device.

The following table describes the parts of the dialog box.

Field

Description

 

 

Device type

The device’s signaling protocol (H.323 or SIP).

 

 

Signaling address

For an H.323 device, the H.225 call signaling address and port of the device. Either

 

this or the RAS address is required.

 

 

RAS address

For an H.323 device, the RAS (Registration, Admission and Status) channel address

 

and port of the device.

 

 

Aliases

For an H.323 device, lists the device’s aliases. When you’re adding a device, this list

 

is empty. The Add button lets you add an alias.

 

 

Address of record

For a SIP device, the AOR with which the device registers (see registration rules in

 

RFC 3261), such as:

 

sip:1000@westminster.polycom.com

 

 

Device authentication

Indicates whether the endpoint must authenticate itself.

 

Note: Inbound authentication for the device type must be enabled at the system

 

level (see Device Authentication on page 261), or the setting for the device has no

 

effect.

 

 

Class of service

Select to specify the class of service and the bit rate limits for calls to and from this

 

device.

 

A call between two devices receives the higher class of service of the two.

 

Note: When a device calls a conference room (VMR), the class of service of the

 

conference room applies to the call, not the class of service of the device.

 

 

Maximum bit rate (kbps)

The maximum bit rate for calls to and from this device.

 

 

Minimum downspeed bit

The minimum bit rate to which calls from this device can be downspeeded to

rate (kbps)

manage bandwidth. If this minimum isn’t available, the call is dropped.

 

 

Model

Optional model number/name for the device.

 

 

Version

Optional version information for the device.
