Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

Set Up Automatic Provisioning

The CMA system automatic provisioning feature allows an administrator to configure one or more endpoints with the standard set of information the registering endpoints need to operate within the network. This eliminates the need to configure each endpoint individually.

Automatic provisioning is enabled at the endpoint, but the CMA system must have automatic provisioning profiles for both the endpoint and the site at which the endpoint resides.

To ensure out-of-box usability, the CMA system comes with default automatic provisioning profiles. However, to create your desired user experiences, you should:

•Create customized automatic provisioning profiles for endpoint types.

•Edit provisioning profile for each site.

For more information, see “Automatic Provisioning Operations” on page 183.

Set Up Automatic Softupdate

The CMA system automatic softupdate feature allows an administrator to upgrade the software on one or more endpoints with a standard software package. This eliminates the need to upgrade each endpoint individually.

The automatic softupdate feature is enabled at the endpoint. At start up and at designated intervals, endpoints in automatic softupdate mode automatically look for a new softupdate profile and package on the CMA system.

To implement automatic softupdates, you must create a softupdate package for each endpoint type you wish to support with updates.

For more information, see “Automatic Software Update Operations” on page 191.

Set Up Conference Templates

The CMA system uses conference templates and global conference settings to manage system and conference behavior.

The CMA system has a Default Template and default global conference settings. You may want to create additional templates with different settings or change the global conference settings.

For more information, see “Polycom® CMA® System Conference Scheduling Overview” on page 39.
