Polycom ReadiManager LX100 makes life easier for people who want to schedule their
own meetings with or without video, for the conference administrator who wants to
manage videoconferences from setup to breakdown, and for the network administrator
who monitors the reliability of video networks.
Polycom ReadiManager LX100 includes a highly configurable scheduling application
that uniquely enables users to schedule video calls right from an Outlook or Lotus
Notes interface or a web interface. The users choose the resources that need to be
scheduled from the same appointment window when scheduling a meeting that doesn't
require video.
One of the unique features that Polycom ReadiManager LX100 has is its patent
pending bandwidth reservation system that schedules bandwidth for the conference.
The support for MCUs includes the ability to monitor MCU port availability. When more
than one MCU is deployed on the network, scheduling decisions for multipoint calls will
be based on zone location and port availability.
Conferences scheduled through Polycom ReadiManager LX100 become a
manageable entity. Conferences can be managed from Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes,
and from two web interfaces. Endpoints can be added to, removed from, or swapped
for any given conference. Conferences can be remotely restarted or extended from the
Manage Conference interface.
With the Scheduling and Scheduling Administration modules of Polycom
ReadiManager LX100, you can:
Schedule conferences through the web, Microsoft Outlook, or Lotus Notes,
reserving required video and audio equipment and resources
Manage conferences
Run reports for Call Records, Video Utilization, and Troubleshooting and create
other custom reports
The Scheduling Administration module also provides the ability to define and maintain
information about your video network topology, resources and equipment, users and
user permissions, and other system management.
The Device Management module in Polycom ReadiManager LX100 enables the
administration and centralized management of your enterprise-wide video
communications network. Using Device Management features, administrators can
proactively monitor devices for call status, errors, and warnings. Through the Remote
Alert Notification Feature, administrators can be paged on their cell phones with
