Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

•HDX Series--Polycom HDX systems deployed in standard management mode

Scheduled Provisioning Profiles

The CMA system does not include a default profile for scheduled provisioning. You must create a profile before you can schedule a endpoint for provisioning. Create a different profile for each endpoint type (Polycom HDX system or Polycom CMA Desktop) and group of users.

Some examples of when to use scheduled provisioning profiles follow.

•To apply a standard set of options to each new endpoint

By creating templates of standard settings for different types of endpoints, or for the needs of different users, you can have the CMA system apply all the settings at once. After the endpoint is connected and registered with the CMA system, you can use a provisioning profile that defines a range of other options.

•To update the password for all endpoints of a particular type

For security purposes, you can create a provisioning profile to update the password for endpoints on a regular basis and reuse the same profile quarterly. You might have several profiles, one for each type of endpoint to update.

•To change the IP address of the CMA system gatekeeper when the CMA system is moved

For information about how to add a scheduled provisioning profile, see “Add a Scheduled Provisioning Profile” on page 186.
