Add Site Dialog
Lets you define a new site in the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s site topology and specify which
subnets are associated with it. The following table describes the fields in the dialog.
Logical host name If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see Embedded DNS), this
is the logical FQDN that endpoints in this site should register to.
The system generates this by combining “callserver,” the site name, and the
value specified in the Call server sub-domain controlled by RealPresence
DMA field on the Embedded DNS page.
If the site name contains a character not permitted in a host name, the system
replaces it with a dash (hyphen) followed by the hex code of the ASCII
character. For instance, if the site is named “paris (north)” and the call server
sub-domain is “callservers.example.com,” the logical host name would be:
callserver-paris-20-28north-29.callservers.example.com
Device Types
MCUs The number of MCUs in the site.
DMAs The number of Polycom RealPresence DMA systems in the site.
VBPs The number of Polycom Video Border Proxy NAT/firewall traversal appliances
in the site.
Endpoints The number of registered endpoints in the site.
Subnets A list of the subnets in the site.
Field Description
General Info
General Settings
Site name A meaningful name for the site (up to 128 characters).
Note: If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see Embedded
DNS), the system uses the site name to create the Logical host name (see
Site Information Dialog). We strongly recommend:
• Using site names that contain only characters permitted in a host name
(letters, numbers, and internal hyphens).
• Entering network/DNS-related information in all lower case to avoid
possible case-sensitivity issues with various devices and ensure
interoperability.
Description A brief description of the site (up to 200 characters).
