Polycom 7000 manual Polycom, Inc 291

Site Topology

Field	Description
Site name	A meaningful name for the site (up to 128 characters).
	Note: If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see Embedded
	DNS), the system uses the site name to create the Logical host name (see
	Site Information Dialog). Polycom strongly recommends:
	• Using site names that contain only characters permitted in a host name
	(letters, numbers, and internal hyphens).
	• Entering network/DNS-related information in all lower case to avoid
	possible case-sensitivity issues with various devices and ensure
	interoperability.
Description	A brief description of the site (up to 200 characters).
Bandwidth Settings
Max total bandwidth	The total bandwidth limit for voice and video calls. If not selected, voice and
(Mbps)	video calls can use all of the available bandwidth.
	This setting lets you restrict voice and video calls to only a portion of the
	available bandwidth, ensuring that some bandwidth always remains available
	for other network traffic.
Max per-call bit rate (kbps)	The per-call bit rate limit for voice and video calls.
	When you specify both the bandwidth and bit rate limits, the dialog shows you
	how many calls at that bit rate the specified bandwidth limit supports. The
	value of the Bit rate to bandwidth conversion factor setting on the Call
	Server Settings page is used in this calculation.
Territory Settings

Territory

Assigns the site to a territory, and thus to a Polycom RealPresence DMA cluster.

ISDN Number Assignment

Assignment method

The ISDN number assignment method for the devices in this site. The numbers being assigned are endpoint aliases in the form of E.164 numbers, which can be dialed by both IP endpoints registered to the Call Server and ISDN endpoints dialing in through an ISDN gateway.

The assignment options are:

•No assignment. Select this option when you don’t want to define a range of E.164 aliases for the site.

•Manual assignment. Select this option to define a range (or ranges) of E.164 aliases for the site, but not automatically assign those aliases to endpoints.

•Automatic assignment. Select this option to define a range (or ranges) of E.164 aliases for the site and automatically assign those aliases to endpoints that register without an alias.

After an E.164 alias is assigned to an endpoint, it’s reserved for use as long as that endpoint remains registered with the Polycom RealPresence DMA system.

If you decide not to enable Automatic assignment, you can always manually add E.164 aliases to endpoints from the Endpoints page (see Edit Device Dialog). And endpoints will have any aliases with which they register.
