Configure The Call Server And Optionally Create A Supercluster; Set Up Security - Polycom RealPresence DMA 7000 System Operation Manual

Configure the Call Server and Optionally Create a
Supercluster
Configuring the Polycom RealPresence DMA system's Call Server function consists of the following
high-level tasks:
1 Integrate with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or CMA system (see
Resource Manager
2 If deploying a supercluster of multiple geographically distributed Polycom RealPresence DMA
clusters:
a Set the Security Configuration page security options before superclustering (see
Settings). But wait until after superclustering to do the rest of the security setup tasks.
b Depending on security settings, you may need to install certificates before superclustering (see
Certificate Procedures).
c Create a supercluster (see
3 Create territories and assign sites to them (if you integrated with a Polycom RealPresence
Resource Manager or CMA system, this must be done on that system). Assign the primary and
backup cluster responsible for each territory, and designate which territories can host conference
rooms (see Territories).
4 Add any external devices, such as a neighbor gatekeeper or SIP peer (see
Configuration).
5 Configure the dial plan (see

Set Up Security

The first step in securing your Polycom RealPresence DMA system is to locate it in a secure data center
with controlled access, but that topic is beyond the scope of this document.
Secure setup of the Polycom RealPresence DMA system consists of the following high-level tasks (some
of which assume you're integrating with Active Directory and some of which overlap with other initial setup
topics):
1 As the default local administrative user (admin), create a local user account for yourself with the
Administrator role, log in using that account, and delete the admin user account. See
Overview and Users
2 Create the Active Directory service account (read-only user account) that the Polycom
RealPresence DMA system will use to read and integrate with Active Directory. See
Integration Procedure.
3 Assign the Administrator role to your named enterprise account, and remove the Polycom
RealPresence DMA system's user roles (see
to integrate with Active Directory. See
Directory ® Integration.
4 Log out and log back in using your enterprise user ID and password.
5 Verify that the expected enterprise users are available in the Polycom RealPresence DMA system
and that conference room IDs were successfully created for them. If necessary, adjust integration
settings and correct errors. See
