MCU Management

Command

Description

 

 

Start Using

Enables the Polycom RealPresence DMA system to start using the selected MCUs

 

as conferencing resources or ISDN gateways (for simplified gateway dialing).

 

This command only affects Conference Manager and simplified gateway dialing

 

functionality. It doesn’t affect MCUs that are simply registered with the Call Server.

 

 

Stop Using

Stops the Polycom RealPresence DMA system from using the selected MCUs as

 

conferencing resources or ISDN gateways. A dialog asks you to confirm. If you do

 

so, existing calls on the MCUs are terminated or (for SIP calls only) migrated to

 

in-service MCUs with available capacity.

 

If any of the MCUs are ISDN gateways, the system stops using them for simplified

 

gateway dialing.

 

This command immediately terminates the system’s use of the MCUs as

 

conferencing resources or ISDN gateways. It has no effect on the MCUs

 

themselves, which continue to accept any calls from other sources.

 

 

Busy Out

Stops the Polycom RealPresence DMA system from creating new conferences on

 

the selected MCUs, but allows existing conferences to continue and accepts new

 

calls to those conferences. If any of the MCUs are ISDN gateways, the system stops

 

using them for simplified gateway dialing. A dialog asks you to confirm.

 

This gracefully winds down the system’s use of the MCU. It has no effect on the

 

MCUs themselves, which continue to accept any calls from other sources.

 

 

Quarantine

Allows the selected MCUs to register (or remain registered) with the Call Server, but

 

not to make or receive calls.

 

If the MCUs are quarantined, this becomes Unquarantine.

 

Note: Quarantining is intended only for MCUs that are registered with the Polycom

 

RealPresence DMA system’s Call Server as standalone MCUs and/or ISDN

 

gateways, but are not available to the Conference Manager as conferencing

 

resources.

 

Quarantining does not prevent VMR calls to MCUs configured as conferencing

 

resources.

 

Quarantining an MCU that’s both registered with the Call Server and configured as a

 

conferencing resource for the Conference Manager may have unpredictable results.

 

 

Block Registrations

Prevents the selected MCUs from registering with the Call Server.

 

If the MCUs are blocked, this becomes Unblock Registrations.
