Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

Admin Menu

The Admin menu in maximum security mode changes in the following ways:

•The Global Address Book, SNMP Settings, Gatekeeper Settings, and Alert Settings menu options and their associated functionality have been removed.

•Removed gatekeeper functionality resulted in the following system changes:

—The system cannot display bandwidth usage. Bandwidth usage for sites, subnets, or site limits is always 0.

—Site exclusions cannot be enforced.

—Dial rules are required for ISDN calling in translating numbers, but have no affect for IP calls.

—The system is not the gatekeeper, so it cannot perform address resolution.

—E164 aliases assigned by the CMA system are not communicated to the gatekeeper, so they cannot be resolved.

—Dialing rules can be configured on the CMA system, but they are not communicated to the gatekeeper, so they cannot be implemented.

—Threshold alarms and hardware alarms are always 0.

—Site topology cannot provide a graphical representation of status (color).

—The CMA system has no knowledge of external gatekeeper or its rules.

Conference Templates

As was noted before, because all conferences scheduled on a CMA system operating in maximum security mode must be hosted on a RMX conferencing system, the MCU Settings for all Conference Templates has changed in the following ways:

•The Supported MCUs section lists only RMX.

•The Always Use MCU option on the Conference Template page is not available (grayed-out); it is always enabled and cannot be changed.

Conference Settings

On a CMA system operating in maximum security mode, a setting is available on the Conference Setting page. The Conference and chairperson password length field allows an administrator to designate the required length of the system-generated conference password and chairperson password. The acceptable length for both of these passwords is six to 16 characters. By default, the required length for both of these passwords is set to 15 characters.
