2 In the Add New Device dialog box, select the Device Type. For valid
types, see “Endpoint Types” on page 103. For endpoints not specified in
the list, select a Device Type of Other. This dialog is meant for adding
endpoints that are managed in Standard Management mode.
3 Enter the IP Address of the endpoint.
4 Click Find Device.
— If the CMA system can find the endpoint on the network, the Add
New Device dialog box is populated with information retrieved from
the endpoint. Review any information retrieved from the endpoint.
— If the CMA system cannot find the endpoint on the network, a Device
Not Found dialog box appears.
5 Assign the endpoint a System Name.
Endpoint names must be unique, must be in ASCII only, and may have an
unlimited number of characters. Spaces, dashes, and underscores are
valid.
6 If necessary, enter the Admin ID and Password for the endpoint. Some
endpoints may not require this information. Other endpoints may require
only a password.
7 Complete the Identification, Addresses, and Capabilities sections of the
Add New Device dialog box.
Pay particular attention to the Capabilities options, because the settings
on it determine how the endpoint is used throughout the CMA system.
Note
All dynamically-managed endpoints automatically register with the CMA system
and cannot be added using the Add option.
Notes
If you enter an invalid Admin ID or Password for an endpoint that requires that
information, the CMA system may still find the endpoint. It depends upon the
endpoint type.
• V-Series, VSX-Series, and Viewstation endpoints allow the CMA system to
detect the endpoint type and complete the registration. The endpoint appears in
the Endpoint list with an alert indicating Incorrect Password.
• Polycom HDX systems and ViewStation FX systems won’t allow the CMA
system to detect the endpoint type and complete the registration. You can
manually add the endpoint, but the CMA system cannot communicate with it
until you’ve entered a valid Admin ID or Password for the endpoint. In this
case, the CMA system records an error message in an error log.
• The Find Device function only works for endpoints with a specified Device
Type. If you selected a Device Type of Other, the CMA system will report an
error.
