Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

Field

For the endpoint systems at the site being provisioned...

 

 

Time Server

Specify whether to connect to a time server for automatic system time settings.

 

Select Auto to require that the video endpoint system synchronize with an external time

 

server that is identified by a network domain controller. Because it is identified by a

 

network domain controller, you do not need to enter the IP address of the time server.

 

Select Manual to require that the video endpoint system synchronize with an external

 

time server that may not be identified by a network domain controller. In this case, you

 

must also enter the IP address of the time server in the Time Server Address field.

 

If Time Server is set to Off, or if the Time Server is set to Manual or Auto but the

 

endpoint system cannot connect to the time server, the date and time must be manually

 

reset at the endpoint.

 

 

Primary Time Server

Specify the address of the primary time server when Time Server is set to Manual.

Address

 

 

 

Secondary Time

Specify the address of the secondary time server when Time Server is set to Manual.

Server Address

 

 

 

Timezone

Specify the time difference between GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and the endpoint

 

system’s location.

 

 

Firewall Settings

 

 

 

Use Fixed Ports

Specify whether to define the TCP and UDP ports.

 

If the firewall is H.323 compatible or the endpoint systems are not behind a firewall,

 

disable this setting.

 

If the firewall is not H.323 compatible, enable this setting. The endpoint systems will

 

assign a range of ports starting with the TCP and UDP ports you specify. The endpoint

 

system defaults to a range beginning with port 3230 for both TCP and UDP.

 

Note

 

You must open the corresponding ports in the firewall. You must also open the firewall’s

 

TCP port 1720 to allow H.323 traffic.

 

 

Start TCP Port

Lets you specify the beginning value for the range of TCP ports used by the endpoint

 

systems. The endpoint systems will automatically assign a range of ports starting with the

 

port you specify.

 

Note

 

You must also open the firewall’s TCP port 1720 to allow H.323 traffic.

 

 

Start UDP Port

Lets you specify the beginning value for the range of TCP ports used by the endpoint

 

systems. The endpoint systems will automatically assign a range of ports starting with the

 

port you specify.

 

 

Enable H.460 Firewall

Allows the endpoint system to use H.460-based firewall traversal. For more information,
