Use the MCU View to manage Polycom MCU conferencing platforms on the
network.
The MCU list has the same fields as the Network Device > Monitor view. For
more information, see “Monitor View” on page 222.
DMA View
The Polycom
®
Distributed Media Application (DMA) system is a multipoint
conferencing manager that uses advanced routing policies to distribute voice
and video calls among multiple media servers (Multipoint Control Units, or
MCUs), creating a single virtual resource pool. This greatly simplifies video
conferencing resource management and uses MCU resources more efficiently.
Use the DMA View to manage DMA systems v2.3 or earlier. These earlier
versions of the DMA system register with the CMA system as a
Gateway/MCU and can be displayed in the DMA list.
The DMA list has the following information.
Subscriber-side IP The public network IP address for the Polycom VBP
device.
Field Description
Field Description
Name A unique name for the DMA system.
Virtual IP Address The virtual IP address for the DMA system.
Dial Prefix E.164 dial string prefix for calling the system. Must be
unique among the gatekeeper’s devices and services.
For more information, see the Polycom DMA 7000
System Operations Guide.
Description A useful description for the DMA system.
IMPORTANT
Newer versions of the DMA system (v3.0 or greater) include call server functionality
(H.323 gatekeeper and SIP proxy/registrar). For that reason, these DMA systems
do not register with the CMA system as a Gateway/MCU and should not be added
to the CMA system as a network device. Instead, these DMA system should be
added to the CMA system as a trusted neighbor.
