Provisioning Best Practices

To use the available provisioning options most effectively, we recommend the following:

1For each site in the CMA system, configure the site provisioning details as needed for each site. See “Add a Site” on page 465.

2On each HDX and RealPresence Group Series endpoint, configure the system settings that are available in bundled provisioning for that model. Then download the provisioning bundle for each HDX and RealPresence Group Series endpoint to the CMA system. See “Bundled Provisioning” on page 106.

3If you need unique provisioning settings for one or more groups of users, create automatic provisioning profiles with those settings and apply them to the appropriate groups. See “Automatic Provisioning” on page 107 and “Add a Local Group” on page 268.

For example, you may want to set a higher bit rate for the executives of your organization or for conference rooms used for large video conferences. You can create a group for these users/rooms and give that group an automatic provisioning profile with a higher bit rate.

Bundled Provisioning

The CMA system supports a Bundled Provisioning model for dynamically managed HDX and RealPresence Group Series endpoints. With Bundled Provisioning, a CMA system administrator can download a provisioning bundle from any already configured HDX and RealPresence Group Series endpoints. Any dynamically-managed HDX and RealPresence Group Series endpoints of the same model will receive the provisioning bundle when it next polls the CMA system for new provisioning information.

Note

Some configuration settings on dynamically managed endpoints that the CMA system provisions are associated with the site where the endpoint system is located. Site provisioning takes precedence.

Bundled provisioning provides businesses with an efficient and effective way to provision HDX and RealPresence Group Series endpoints consistently across each model. HDX and RealPresence Group Series endpoint users with
