Using Realpresence Resource Manager To Provision Cx5100 System - Polycom CX5100 Administrator's Manual

Polycom CX5100 Unified Conference Station for Microsoft Skype for Business - Administrator Guide
The following describes the XML field attributes in the master configuration file.
● CONFIG_FILES Enter the names of your configuration files here as a comma-separated list. If you
want to use a configuration file in a different location or use a different file name, or both, you can
specify a URL with its own protocol, user name and password, for example:
ftp://usr:pwd@server/dir/system2034.cfg.
Note: The order of the configuration files listed in CONFIG_FILES is significant:
• The files are processed in the order listed (left to right).
• If the same parameter is included in more than one file or more than once in the same file, the
system uses the first (left) parameter.
● MISC_FILES A comma-separated list of files. Use this to list volatile files that you want systems to
download. The system downloads files you list here when booted, which can decrease access time.
● LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY An alternative directory for log files. You can also specify a URL. This
field is blank by default.
● OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY An alternative directory for configuration overrides files. You can also
specify a URL. This field is blank by default.
● LICENSE_DIRECTORY An alternative directory for license files. You can also specify a URL. This
field is blank by default.
● COREFILE_DIRECTORY An alternative directory for Polycom device core files to use to debug
Using RealPresence Resource Manager to Provision
CX5100 System
The CX5100 and CX5500 unified conference stations can be dynamically managed in the RealPresence
Resource Manager system, which provides the secure way to remotely provision and upgrade CX5100 and
CX5500 systems as other dynamically managed Polycom video endpoints. The dynamic management from
the RealPresence Resource Manager system is client-to-server over HTTPS which makes it more secure
and firewall-friendly.
This function allows you to perform the following operations from the RealPresence Resource
Management server:
● Software upgrade - Allows you to update the CX5100 and CX5500 system's software from the
RealPresence Resource Manager portal as can be done with other dynamically managed video
endpoints.
● Monitoring the online/offline device - Allows you to monitor the CX5100 and CX5500 system's
online or offline status together with the endpoint details including, but not limited to name, IP
address, MAC address, and software version.
● Provisioning - Allows you to change the basic CX5100 and CX5500 system's settings from the
RealPresence Resource Manager including, but not limited to time zone, time format, and time
server.
The RealPresence Resource Manager provisioning does not support the base profile set to Skype for the
CX5100 system. Make sure to set the base profile to Generic.
The following parameters support the RealPresence Resource Manager to provision the CX5100 system:
● tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.enable
