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.

Multipoint Layout Application

 

 

Required for managing multi-screen endpoint layouts for

 

 

Cisco CTS 3XXX, Polycom TPX, RPX or OTX systems.

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.
