Polycom RealPresence DMA System Initial Configuration Summary

Configure the Call Server and Optionally Create a Supercluster

Configuring the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s Call Server function consists of the following high-level tasks:

1Integrate with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system (see RealPresence Resource Manager Integration) or enter site topology information (see Site Topology).

2If deploying a supercluster of multiple geographically distributed Polycom RealPresence DMA clusters:

a Set the Security Configuration page security options before superclustering (see Security Settings). But wait until after superclustering to do the rest of the security setup tasks.

b Depending on security settings, you may need to install certificates before superclustering (see Certificate Procedures).

c Create a supercluster (see About Superclustering) and configure supercluster options.

3Create territories and assign sites to them (if you integrated with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system, this must be done on that system). Assign the primary and backup cluster responsible for each territory, and designate which territories can host conference rooms (see Territories).

4Add any external devices, such as a neighbor gatekeeper or SIP peer (see Call Server Configuration).

5Configure the dial plan (see Dial Rules).

Set Up Security

The first step in securing your Polycom RealPresence DMA system is to locate it in a secure data center with controlled access, but that topic is beyond the scope of this document.

Secure setup of the Polycom RealPresence DMA system consists of the following high-level tasks (some of which assume you’re integrating with Active Directory and some of which overlap with other initial setup topics):

1As the default local administrative user (admin), create a local user account for yourself with the Administrator role, log in using that account, and delete the admin user account. See Adding Users Overview and Users Procedures.

2Create the Active Directory service account (read-only user account) that the Polycom RealPresence DMA system will use to read and integrate with Active Directory. See Active Directory Integration Procedure.

3Assign the Administrator role to your named enterprise account, and remove the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s user roles (see User Roles Overview) from the service account used to integrate with Active Directory. See Connect to Microsoft Active Directory® and Microsoft Active Directory® Integration.

4Log out and log back in using your enterprise user ID and password.

5Verify that the expected enterprise users are available in the Polycom RealPresence DMA system and that conference room IDs were successfully created for them. If necessary, adjust integration settings and correct errors. See Microsoft Active Directory® Integration, Users Procedures, and Conference Room Errors Report.
