DMA Operations Guide
The DNS server(s) should also have entries for your Active Directory server (if
different from the DNS server) and gatekeeper.
License the Polycom DMA System
Configure Signaling
Set Up Security
The Polycom DMA system license you purchased specifies how many and
what type of MCUs the system can use as conferencing resources. You should
have received a software activation key code for each server. Installing the
activation keys activates the license for your system.
To activate the system’s license, follow the procedure in “Licenses” on
page 8-9.
Signaling setup includes registering with a gatekeeper and setting the H.323
prefix for dialing into the system. The Polycom DMA system must be
registered with a gatekeeper.
When you configure the Polycom DMA system to use a gatekeeper, each node
in the cluster independently registers its IP address with the gatekeeper, using
the configured prefix as a service registration.
Once the registrations for both nodes are complete, the Polycom DMA system
is ready to receive calls using H.323 alias or H.264 addressing.
On the gatekeeper, the two nodes of the system appear as two MCUs using the
same prefix.
To configure signaling, follow the procedure in “Signaling Configuration” on
page 8-7.
The first step in securing your Polycom DMA system is to locate it in a secure
data center with controlled access, but that topic is beyond the scope of this
document.
Secure setup of the Polycom DMA system consists of the following high-level
tasks (some of which overlap with subsequent initial setup topics):
Caution
To eliminate a serious security risk, perform the first step even if you don’t intend to
integrate with the enterprise directory.
