The Polycom Global Address Book is a system-managed endpoint directory
that allows users with video endpoints to look up and call other users with
video endpoints in their video communications network.
From a video endpoint system, users can locate other user’s endpoints by
name in the Global Address Book and initiate a call without knowledge of the
other user’s equipment. The RealPresence Resource Manager system will filter
incompatible endpoints out of the Global Address Book (GAB) results so that
the GAB presented to H.323-only endpoints will not include ISDN-only
endpoints and the GAB presented to ISDN-only endpoints will not include
H.323-only endpoints.
For more information on the Global Address Book, see “Endpoint Directory
and Directory Settings” on page 471.
To view the Global Address Book
1 Go to Admin > Directories > Global Address Book.
Global Address Book filtering applies only to Polycom endpoints. The Global
Address Book is not filtered on third-party endpoints.
