Polycom® DMA™ System Initial Configuration Summary This chapter describes the configuration tasks required to complete your 
implementation of a new Polycom® Distributed Media Application™ 
(DMA™) 7000 system once installation and initial network configuration are 
complete. 
This chapter assumes you’ve completed the server configuration procedure in 
the Getting Started Guide (available at support.polycom.com), logged into the 
Polycom DMA system’s management interface, and verified that the 
Supercluster Status pane of the Dashboard shows (for a two-server 
configuration) two servers in the cluster, with healthy enterprise and private 
network status for both. 
Initial configuration includes the following topics: 
System configuration 
•Add Required DNS Records for the Polycom DMA System 
•License the Polycom DMA System 
•Set Up Signaling 
•Configure the Call Server and Optionally Create a Supercluster 
•Set Up Security 
•Set Up MCUs 
•Connect to Microsoft Active Directory 
•Set Up Conference Templates 
Confirming configuration 
•Test the System 
Each topic describes the task, provides background and overview information 
for it, and where appropriate, links to specific step-by-step procedures to 
follow in order to complete the task.
