Polycom CMA System Setup Overview

Field

Description

 

 

# of Digits in Subscriber

The number of digits in a phone number. For example,

Number

in the United States, subscriber numbers may have

 

seven digits or ten digits depending upon the region.

 

 

Default LCR Table

The default least-cost routing table (LCR) for this site.

 

This LCR table is used for all calls originating from

 

devices associated with this site. The default is None.

 

 

Assignment Method

The ISDN number assignment method for the site.

 

Possible values include:

 

• No Auto Assignment. Select this option when

 

ISDN numbers are not assigned to IP devices.

 

• DID (Direct Inward Dial). Select this option when

 

you assign a range of phone numbers received from

 

the telephone company service.

 

• Gateway Extension Dialing. Select this option

 

when you have a single gateway phone number and

 

a range of extensions (E.164 aliases) that are

 

internal to the company. In this case, calls go

 

through a gateway. Endpoints are differentiated by

 

the extension at the end of the dial string.

 

When a site is assigned an automatic assignment

 

method, devices without an ISDN number are assigned

 

one when they register. These numbers allow inbound

 

calls to reach specific video endpoints. After an ISDN

 

number is assigned to an endpoint, it is reserved for use

 

as long as that endpoint remains registered with the

 

CMA system.

 

 

Note

 

 

If you do not assign ISDN numbers automatically, you

 

 

cannot call IP-only endpoints through an ISDN line.

 

 

 

 

Territory

Assigns the site to a territory, and thus to a CMA

 

 

system.

 

 

 

 

Location

Specify the geographic location of the site either by

 

 

longitude+latitude or country+city.

 

 

 

ISDN Number Assignment—

 

Assignment Method = DID (Direct Inward Dial)

 

 

 

 

# Digits in Call Line

Enter the number of digits in the Call Line Identifier

 

Identifier

(CLID), which is the dialed number. The maximum is 17.

 

 

For example, in the United States, the number of

 

 

digits in the CLID is often 7 for outside local calls, 4

 

 

for internal calls, or 11 for callers in a different area

 

 

code.

 

 

This number indicates what part of the full dial string

 

 

is sent to the gatekeeper for address resolution.
