This chapter describes how to manage the Global Address Book in the
Polycom
®
Converged Management Application™ (CMA®) system. It
includes these topics:
• View the Global Address Book
• Set or Change the GAB Password
View the Global Address Book
The Polycom Global Address Book is a system managed endpoint directory
that allows users with video endpoints to look up and call other users with
video endpoints in their video communications network.
From a video endpoint system, users can locate other user’s endpoints by
name in the Global Address Book and initiate a call without knowledge of the
other user’s equipment. The CMA system will filter incompatible endpoints
out of the Global Address Book (GAB) results so that the GAB presented to
H.323-only endpoints will not include ISDN-only endpoints and the GAB
presented to ISDN-only endpoints will not include H.323-only endpoints.
For more information on the Global Address Book, see “Endpoint Directory
and Directory Settings” on page 401.
To view the Global Address Book
1 Go to Admin > Directories > Global Address Book.
2 As needed, use the Filter to customize the Global Address Book. It can
be filtered by Endpoint Name or IP Address.
Note
GAB filtering applies only to Polycom endpoints. The GAB is not filtered on
third-party endpoints.
