Endpoint and Peripheral Management Operations

2In the Add New Device dialog box, select the Device Type. For valid types, see “Endpoint Types” on page 103. For endpoints not specified in the list, select a Device Type of Other. This dialog is meant for adding endpoints that are managed in Standard Management mode.

Note

All dynamically-managed endpoints automatically register with the CMA system and cannot be added using the Add option.

3Enter the IP Address of the endpoint.

4 Click Find Device.

—If the CMA system can find the endpoint on the network, the Add New Device dialog box is populated with information retrieved from the endpoint. Review any information retrieved from the endpoint.

—If the CMA system cannot find the endpoint on the network, a Device Not Found dialog box appears.

Notes

If you enter an invalid Admin ID or Password for an endpoint that requires that information, the CMA system may still find the endpoint. It depends upon the endpoint type.

•V-Series, VSX-Series, and Viewstation endpoints allow the CMA system to detect the endpoint type and complete the registration. The endpoint appears in the Endpoint list with an alert indicating Incorrect Password.

•Polycom HDX systems and ViewStation FX systems won’t allow the CMA system to detect the endpoint type and complete the registration. You can manually add the endpoint, but the CMA system cannot communicate with it until you’ve entered a valid Admin ID or Password for the endpoint. In this case, the CMA system records an error message in an error log.

•The Find Device function only works for endpoints with a specified Device Type. If you selected a Device Type of Other, the CMA system will report an error.

5Assign the endpoint a System Name.

Endpoint names must be unique, must be in ASCII only, and may have an unlimited number of characters. Spaces, dashes, and underscores are valid.

6If necessary, enter the Admin ID and Password for the endpoint. Some endpoints may not require this information. Other endpoints may require only a password.

7Complete the Identification, Addresses, and Capabilities sections of the Add New Device dialog box.

Pay particular attention to the Capabilities options, because the settings on it determine how the endpoint is used throughout the CMA system.
