If your organization uses the Polycom Global Management System, you can
configure, manage, and monitor the VSX system using the Global Management
System (GMS) server. GMS is a web-based client/server software tool that allows
administrators to manage a network of video conferencing systems.
To use global services for the system, configure the following:
❑
Management Servers
❑
Account Numbers
❑
My Information
On networks managed by the Global Management System, several Global Servers
may be configured to manage this system remotely. The system also has a primary
Global Management System server that performs account validation. You can view
information about these servers, but this information can only be changed by the
GMS Administrator.
To view the management servers list:
>> Go to System > Admin Settings > Global Services > Management Servers.
If your system is set up for use with the Global Management System, the system
can prompt the user to enter an account number before placing a call. The account
number is added to the Global Management System's Call Detail Record (CDR)
and the system's local CDR file (localcdr.csv), and this information can be used for
call tracking and billing purposes.
If you configure the system to validate the account number, calls placed without a
valid account number are not completed. If you do not configure the system to
validate account numbers, calls are completed regardless of whether the account
number is valid. Account numbers are set up in GMS by the GMS administrator
For more information about account validation, please contact your GMS
administrator.
