Start Using Enables the Polycom RealPresence DMA system to start using the selected MCUs
as conferencing resources or ISDN gateways (for simplified gateway dialing).
This command only affects Conference Manager and simplified gateway dialing
functionality. It doesn’t affect MCUs that are simply registered with the Call Server.
Stop Using Stops the Polycom RealPresence DMA system from using the selected MCUs as
conferencing resources or ISDN gateways. A dialog asks you to confirm. If you do
so, existing calls on the MCUs are terminated or (for SIP calls only) migrated to
in-service MCUs with available capacity.
If any of the MCUs are ISDN gateways, the system stops using them for simplified
gateway dialing.
This command immediately terminates the system’s use of the MCUs as
conferencing resources or ISDN gateways. It has no effect on the MCUs
themselves, which continue to accept any calls from other sources.
Busy Out Stops the Polycom RealPresence DMA system from creating new conferences on
the selected MCUs, but allows existing conferences to continue and accepts new
calls to those conferences. If any of the MCUs are ISDN gateways, the system stops
using them for simplified gateway dialing. A dialog asks you to confirm.
This gracefully winds down the system’s use of the MCU. It has no effect on the
MCUs themselves, which continue to accept any calls from other sources.
Quarantine Allows the selected MCUs to register (or remain registered) with the Call Server, but
not to make or receive calls.
If the MCUs are quarantined, this becomes Unquarantine.
Note: Quarantining is intended only for MCUs that are registered with the Polycom
RealPresence DMA system’s Call Server as standalone MCUs and/or ISDN
gateways, but are not available to the Conference Manager as conferencing
resources.
Quarantining does not prevent VMR calls to MCUs configured as conferencing
resources.
Quarantining an MCU that’s both registered with the Call Server and configured as a
conferencing resource for the Conference Manager may have unpredictable results.
Block Registrations Prevents the selected MCUs from registering with the Call Server.
If the MCUs are blocked, this becomes Unblock Registrations.
