Enable TANDBERG Endpoints Global Address Book Access

With CMA system, users of the TANDBERG 150, 990, 880, 770 MXP, TANDBERG C Series, and TANDBERG Edge can access the Polycom Global Address Book, so they can see the endpoints in the Global Address Book. (Note that any third-party endpoint that is registered to the CMA system gatekeeper is displayed in the Global Address Book.)

The timing of the endpoint’s connection with the Global Address Book can affect the success of its connection. We recommend the following process:

1At the endpoint, enter the information required for directory set up including the Polycom Global Address Book/CMA system IP address and the path. To do this, on the endpoint, go to Endpoint Configuration > General > External Phone Book Settings.

2Wait for the connections to take effect.

3At the CMA system, go to Endpoint > Monitor View and verify the endpoint’s Global Address Book connection status is green.

Considerations for LifeSize Endpoints

Consider the following when you must support LifeSize endpoints:

“Enabling Management of LifeSize Endpoints” on page 137

“Provisioning of LifeSize Passwords” on page 164

“Scheduled Provisioning of LifeSize Endpoints” on page 157

Enabling Management of LifeSize Endpoints

To facilitate management of LifeSize endpoints, a CMA system administrator must enable the Default Passwords for LifeSize Endpoint Management option and enter the SSH and web UI passwords for the LifeSize endpoints.
