MCU Management
Polycom, Inc. 136
Management IP address Host name or IP address for logging into the MCU (to use it as a conferencing
resource).
Note: Polycom MCUs don't include their management IP address in the
Subject Alternate Name (SAN) field of the CSR (Certificate Signing Request),
so their certificates identify them only by the Common Name (CN). Therefore
if Skip validation of certificates received while making outbound
connections is off (see Security Settings), the MCU's management interface
must be identified by the name specified in the CN field (usually the FQDN),
not by IP address.
Admin user ID Administrative user ID with which the Polycom RealPresence DMA system
can log into the MCU.
For a maximum security environment, this must be a machine account
created on the MCU. Note that the RMX and RealPresence Collaboration
Server MCUs use case-sensitive machine names (and thus FQDNs) when
creating machine accounts.
Password Password for the administrative user ID.
Video ports reserved for non-DMA
use
The number of video ports on this MCU that are off-limits to the Polycom
RealPresence DMA system.
Note: This feature is not for use with an integrated Polycom RealPresence
Resource Manager system. The RealPresence Resource Manager system
must have exclusive use of any MCUs on which it directly schedules
conferences. Those MCUs should not be added to the RealPresence DMA
system’s conferencing resources. A Polycom MCU can be managed by the
RealPresence Resource Manager system or the RealPresence DMA system,
not both.
Voice ports reserved for non-DMA
use
The number of voice ports on this MCU that are off-limits to the Polycom
RealPresence DMA system.
Note: This feature is not for use with an integrated Polycom RealPresence
Resource Manager system. The RealPresence Resource Manager system
must have exclusive use of any MCUs on which it directly schedules
conferences. Those MCUs should not be added to the RealPresence DMA
system’s conferencing resources. A Polycom MCU can be managed by the
RealPresence Resource Manager system or the RealPresence DMA system,
not both.
Cascade-for-size reserved video
ports
The number of video ports on this MCU to reserve for cascade links when a
conference that has cascade for size enabled (see Cascading for Size) is
created on this MCU.
Per-conference For each cascade-for-size conference on this MCU, this number of video
ports is subtracted from the number of video ports available when the system
is determining which MCU has the most ports available.
Overall The number of video ports reserved for cascade-for-size conferences on this
MCU (in addition to the Per-conference value).
Strip prefix If selected, the system strips the prefix when a call that includes a prefix is
routed to this MCU.
