Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

Notes

•The CMA system Global Address Book lists endpoints. Endpoints may or may not have users or rooms associated with them. On an endpoint, the Global Address Book does not list users unless they have endpoints associated with them.

•If your company has more than 100 endpoints, don’t limit the Global Address Book on the endpoint side or the endpoint user won’t have access to all Global Address Book entries.

•The CMA system Global Address Book does not support unicode data.

The Include dynamically-managed devices in the Global Address Book option changes the Global Address Book so that it includes all standard endpoints and all dynamically-managed endpoints such as CMA Desktop and Polycom VVX 1500 endpoints in the Global Address Book. In this case, the Global Address Book limit is increased to 5000 entries. (Dynamically-managed endpoints are always included in the enterprise LDAP directory.)

By default the Include dynamically-managed devices in the Global Address Book option is selected. This brings all of your devices and users together into one endpoint directory. However, you may not want to take advantage of this feature if you have legacy endpoint systems such as VSX, ViewStation, and FX endpoints. These endpoint systems cannot handle the increased size of the Global Address Book. For information on clearing this option, see “Remove or Include Dynamically-Managed Endpoints in the Global Address Book” on page 368.

The second Directory Setup option affects both the Global Address Book and the enterprise LDAP directory. The CMA system Guest Book includes static user entries. By selecting the Show Guest Book entries in the Directory, these static entries are included in the endpoint directory, regardless of whether the endpoint directory is the Global Address Book or the enterprise LDAP directory. The Show Guest Book entries in the Directory option is also selected by default.
