Installing the Polycom Datastore
The Polycom Datastore is a data repository for Global Management System. The Polycom
Datastore also requires MSDE as its database program. If an older version of MSDE is not
installed or found on this machine, Global Management System will prompt to install the
supported version located on the install CD.
Figure 1.2 Polycom Installer > MSDE Prompt
You can choose what directory you install MSDE into by browsing into the appropriate directory
when that dialog prompt appears. If a reboot is required, the Polycom Installer will automatically
be relaunched after the server reboots.
After the initial installation requirements have been met, the Global Management System
installer will inform the user that Polycom Datastore is about to be installed. Follow the onscreen
instructions which will guide you through the Polycom Datastore installation.
MSDE Login
Global Management System will detect and prompt for a username and password to the MSDE
database. If the login information is not known, Global Management System will not install. Enter
the login information for MSDE, the default username is “sa” and the password is “mypass”.
TCP port
The Polycom Datastore TCP port is the port used for communications between the Polycom
Datastore and Global Management System. The port number should not have conicts with
other applications using that port. The default port is 9090.
