RealPresence Resource Manager Integration
Integrating with a RealPresence Resource Manager system provides the RealPresence DMA system with:
● All site topology information configured in the RealPresence Resource Manager system.
The Polycom RealPresence DMA system uses site topology information for a variety of purposes,
including cascade for bandwidth conferences, bandwidth management, and Session Border
Controller selection. See About Cascading and About the Call Server Capabilities.
● All user-to-device associations configured in the RealPresence Resource Manager system.
The RealPresence DMA system uses user-to-device association to assign classes of service to
endpoints based on the user they belong to. See Associate User Dialog.
Caution: Use a dedicated mailbox for meeting invitations
Create a dedicated Polycom Conferencing mailbox that’s used specifically and exclusively for the
purpose of receiving Polycom Conferencing meeting invitations. This is important because the
Polycom RealPresence DMA system will delete all messages from the Inbox when it checks this
mailbox for meeting invitations.
