As defined in the H.323 Recommendation from the ITU-T, a zone is "the collection of
all terminals, Gateways, and Multipoint Control Units (MCUs) managed by a single
Gatekeeper. A zone includes at least one terminal and may or may not include
Gateways or MCUs. A zone has one and only one Gatekeeper. A zone may be
independent of network topology and may be comprised of multiple network segments
which are connected using routers or other devices."
In Polycom ReadiManager LX100, a zone may correspond to the H.323 definition, but
this is not a requirement.
A zone is a grouping of resources and endpoints that have a shared set of video
bandwidth among them. Sometimes this may be a LAN, or it may be a subnet.
A zone often roughly corresponds to a building or a floor in a building.
When you first install Polycom ReadiManager LX100, a default zone called
"YourPrimaryZone" is provided. It's a good idea to rename this zone to one that is more
meaningful for your network.
To define a zone
1. From the menu bar, choose Network > Zones.
