Test the System
On the Signaling Settings page (see Signaling Settings), verify that:
● If you enabled H.323, the H.323 Signaling Status section indicates that the signaling status is Active
and the port assignments are correct.
● If you enabled SIP, the SIP Signaling Status section shows that the correct protocols and listening
ports are enabled.
Have some endpoints register with the Polycom RealPresence DMA Call Server and make point-to-point
calls to each other.
On the Dashboard (see Dashboard), verify that:
● The information in the Cluster Info pane looks correct, including the time, network settings, and
system resource information.
● The Supercluster Status pane shows the correct number of servers and clusters, and the network
interfaces that should be working (depending on your IP type and split network settings) are up (green
up arrow) and in full duplex mode, with the speed correct for your enterprise network.
● The Call Server Registrations pane shows that the endpoints that attempted to register did so
successfully.
● The Call Server Active Calls pane shows that the endpoints that made calls did so successfully, and
the call limits per cluster and total are correct for your licenses.
● The Conference Manager MCUs pane shows that the MCUs you added are connected and in
service.
● The information on the Active Directory Integration pane looks correct, including the status, cache
refresh data, and enterprise conference room count.
Set up some multipoint conferences by having endpoints dial into enterprise users’ conference rooms
(preferably including a custom conference room). Verify that conferencing works satisfactorily, that the
system status is good, and that the Conference Manager Usage pane accurately presents the status.
When you’re satisfied that the Polycom RealPresence DMA system is configured and working properly,
