Endpoint Management Overview

Profile Order and Priority
Automatic provisioning profiles are associated with groups, but what about
those users who belong to more than one group—what determines their
experience? When you add new profiles, you assign a Profile Order. The
Profile Order determines which provisioning profile takes priority.
Consider the following example:
• Jason Smith is part of the Support group and also part of the Executive
group.
• The Support group is assigned an automatic provisioning profile named
Low-Bandwidth, which allows a maximum speed for receiving calls of
128kbps.
• The Executive group is assigned an automatic provisioning profile called
High-Bandwidth, which allows a maximum speed for receiving calls of
1920kbps
• The Low-Bandwidth profile is assigned a profile order of 1, while the
High-Bandwith profile is assigned a profile order of 2.
In this example, Jason’s endpoint is provisioned with the Low-Bandwidth
provisioning profile, because it has the higher priority.
So when you add provisioning profiles, you may want to assign provisioning
profiles with more robust privileges a higher priority than those providing less
privileges.
Scheduled Provisioning
Scheduled provisioning is enabled at the CMA system. To schedule an
endpoint for provisioning, the CMA system must already have a scheduled
provisioning profile created for the endpoint.
How Scheduled Provisioning Works
In this standard management mode, administrators with System Setup
permissions can schedule provisioning for one endpoint or a group of
endpoints; and they can schedule provisioning to occur immediately or for a
date and time in the future. The provisioning data is sent in XML format over
a secure HTTPS connection.
Scheduled provisioning is available for these endpoint types:
• ViewStation endpoints
• ViewStation FX & EX endpoints
• V and VSX Series endpoints
• Selected TANDBERG endpoints—TANDBERG 150, 990, 880, and 770
