DMA 7000

4.0

Polycom Distributed Media Application

 

 

• DMA is an optional component but is essential if Content

 

 

sharing is to be enabled.

 

 

• All SIP endpoints register to DMA as a SIP Proxy.

 

 

• DMA should be configured to route SIP calls (with CTS

 

 

destination) to CUCM. If DMA is not present in the

 

 

solution architecture, SIP endpoints must register to

 

 

CUCM as gatekeeper.

 

 

• DMA must be configured with a VMR (Virtual Meeting

 

 

Room). Incoming calls are then routed to the MCU.

• Functions as the network bridge for multipoint calls

 

 

between H.323, SIP and TIP endpoints.

 

 

• The MCU can be interfaced to CUCM using a SIP trunk,

 

 

enabling CTS to join multipoint calls on MCU. Signaling

 

 

goes through the CUCM while the media in TIP format

 

 

goes directly between the CTS and MCU.

 

 

• The MCU must be configured to route outbound SIP calls

 

 

to DMA.

 

 

• The H.323 Network Service of the MCU should register

 

 

it's dial prefix with the CMA gatekeeper.

 

 

• When DMA is not used an Ad-hoc Entry Queue,

 

 

designated as Transit Entry Queue, must be pre-defined

 

 

on the MCU.

Polycom Converged Management Application - Gatekeeper

 

 

• The gatekeeper must route calls to MCU based on the

 

 

MCU prefix registration on the gatekeeper.

 

 

 

Endpoints

 

Telephony, desktop and room systems.

 

 

• H.323 endpoints must register to the CMA or IOS

 

 

gatekeeper.

 

 

• Polycom SIP endpoints must register to DMA as SIP

 

 

Proxy when DMA is used.

 

 

• H.323 endpoints must register to the CMA or IOS

 

 

gatekeeper.
