Local and Enterprise Meeting Rooms

The CMA system allows a user assigned the default Administrator role to manage local and enterprise meeting rooms and the endpoints associated with those meeting rooms.

Most often a CMA system is integrated with an enterprise directory to which rooms have been added. However, the CMA system also allows you to add local rooms (that is, rooms added manually to the system) and associate them with endpoints.

For dynamically managed endpoints associated with a room, you must also associate each room in the CMA system with a machine account. The machine account allows the room’s endpoint to connect and authenticate with the CMA system for directory and dynamic management purposes without using the endpoint user’s account. After you add a room, you can create the machine account and associate the room with the machine account. For more information, see “Add Machine Accounts” on page 460.
