Dynamically Managing a Polycom RealPresence Access
Director System
With the RealPresence Access Director system, Polycom offers a
software-based edge server to securely route communication, management,
and content through firewalls without requiring special dialing methods or
additional client hardware or software.
Polycom supports dynamically managing or manually adding the
RealPresence Access Director system.
When you manually add a RealPresence Access Director to your system, you
will not be able to monitor its status or view any call information for calls
routed from the RealPresence Access Director system.
Dynamically Managing a Polycom RealPresence Access Director System
Perform the following steps to dynamically add and provision a RealPresence
Access Director system:
1 “Create a Site for the RealPresence Access Director System” on page 321
2 “Create a Site Provisioning Profile that includes the RealPresence Access
Director System” on page 322
3 “Create a User Account for the RealPresence Access Director System” on
page 322
Create a Site for the RealPresence Access Director System
You should create a site that includes the subnet on which the RealPresence
Access Director resides.
When you create a site that is intended for use with a RealPresence Access
Director, you need to enable it provision RealPresence Access Director settings
by marking Site for RPAD.
When Site for RPAD is marked, the site’s provisioning profile includes
RealPresence Access Director settings. If you do not mark this check box when
you create the site, you cannot use the RealPresence Resource Manager system
to provision or dynamically manage the RealPresence Access Director system.
See “Add a Site” on page 413 for more information about adding a site.
When you use the RealPresence Resource Manager system to dynamically
manage a RealPresence Access Director system, you do not need to manually
add it to your system.
