Configure Remote Access

You can remotely configure, manage, and monitor your system from its system web interface or using the
API. (You can also perform these actions with RealPresence Resource Manager or SNMP [monitoring
only].)
• The system web interface requires only a web browser.
• RealPresence Resource Manager requires the management application to be installed on your
network.
• SNMP requires network management software on your network management station.
For more information about the API commands, refer to the Polycom RealPresence Group Series
Integrator Reference Guide.
Remote access means reaching a system in some way other than through the local interface, such as by
using the web, a serial port, or telnet. A session is an instance of a user connected to the system through
one of these interfaces. Sessions include an indication of how you are logged on to the system, such as
the local interface, web interface, telnet, or serial API.
Procedure
1. In the system web interface, select Admin Settings > Security > Global Security > Access.
2. Configure the following settings.
Not all settings are available on both interfaces. The visibility of some settings is affected by the
type of security profile your system uses.
