Territories The Territories page lists the territories defined in the site topology. On the
right, it displays information about the selected territory.
A territory contains one or more sites for which a Polycom DMA cluster is
responsible. By default, there is one territory named Default DMA Territory.
In a superclustered Polycom DMA system deployment, additional territories
allow you to assign different territories to different Polycom DMA clusters and
to specify a backup cluster for each territory to increase fault tolerance. If a
territory’s primary cluster becomes unavailable for any reason, the backup
cluster takes over the responsibilities for the territory.
Territories serve the following purposes:
•Sites are associated with territories, thus specifying which Polycom DMA
cluster is responsible for serving as the H.323 gatekeeper, SIP registrar,
and SIP proxy for each site.
•Microsoft Active Directory integration is associated with a territory, thus
specifying which Polycom DMA cluster is responsible for connecting to
the directory server, retrieving user and group data, and updating the
shared supercluster data.
•Microsoft Exchange server integration (for calendaring service) is
associated with a territory, thus specifying which Polycom DMA cluster is
responsible for integrating with the Exchange server and monitoring the
Polycom Conferencing infrastructure mailbox.
•The Polycom DMA system’s Conference Manager functionality is
associated with territories, thus specifying which Polycom DMA clusters
are responsible for hosting conference rooms (VMRs). Up to three
territories (and thus clusters) may have this responsibility.
If the system is integrated with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or
CMA system, it receives territory information from that system, and the
Territories page is view-only. If not, you can modify the territory information.
