Provisioning - Polycom ReadiManagerLX100 Management Manual

Provisioning is key to centralized management of your video network. With provisioning, the administrator can
simultaneously configure a group of video endpoints from a single location. Provisioning replaces the endpoint's files
by uploading a new set of files that contain different settings. This feature eliminates the need for the administrator
to configure the endpoint manually each time an endpoint is deployed or when a group of endpoints need to be
reconfigured.
Provisioning is extremely useful when a setting needs to have the same value for a group of endpoints. For instance, in
the page below:
System Info > Admin Setup > LAN / H.323 > Global Address > Server
The fields on this page are Server IP address and Server Password. The values for these fields will be the same for
most endpoints belonging to a certain campus. Provisioning can easily update these values for a group of endpoints if,
let's say, the server IP address changes.
Examples of when Provisioning is advantageous:

Applications for provisioning are not limited to updating large groups of endpoints; small groups (i.e., 2-4 endpoints)
can also be provisioned with new settings.
