Endpoint Passwords
A RealPresence Resource Manager system can manage Polycom endpoints
only when the password in the device record matches the password in the
endpoint. Matching passwords are required to:
• Schedule provisioning of an endpoint through a RealPresence Resource
Manager system.
• Use the Scheduled Software Update feature.
• Monitor the endpoint from the Endpoint > Monitor View.
You can update the password for certain endpoint systems through scheduled
provisioning only after you have entered the matching password in the
RealPresence Resource Manager system. In this case, you must instruct
end-users not to change the password.
For third-party endpoints, passwords may be required to access the endpoint
management software.
For information about restrictions in changing passwords for a specific
endpoint, see the documentation for the endpoint.

views of the Endpoint list:
