Caution
An activation key is linked to a specific server's serial number. For a two-server
cluster, you must generate the activation key for each server using that server's
serial number. Licensing will fail if you generate both activation keys from the same
server serial number.
To activate the system license, follow the procedure in
Signaling setup includes enabling H.323, SIP, or both, registering with an
H.323 gatekeeper, and setting the prefix for dialing into the system.
When you configure a two-node Polycom DMA system to use a gatekeeper,
each node in the cluster independently registers its IP address with the
gatekeeper, using the configured prefix as a service registration.
Once registration is complete, the Polycom DMA system is ready to receive
calls using the E.164 prefix with which the system registered.
On a Polycom CMA 5000 v5.0 or newer gatekeeper, Polycom DMA system
shows up as a DMA Cluster with one alias. On other gatekeepers, the two
nodes of the system appear as two MCUs using the same prefix.
To configure signaling, follow the procedure in
page 45.
The first step in securing your Polycom 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 DMA system consists of the following high-level
tasks (some of which overlap with subsequent initial setup topics):
As the default local administrative user (admin), create a local user
1
account for yourself with the Administrator role, log in using that
account, and delete the admin user account. See
Overview" on page 131 and
Create the service account (read-only user account) that the Polycom
2
DMA system will use to read the enterprise directory and integrate with
the enterprise directory. See
Procedure" on page 106.
