RMX 2000 Administrator's Guide Version 7.6.1 - Polycom

Appendix H-Setting the RMX for Integration Into Microsoft Environment
Adding Presence to Conferencing Entities in the Buddy List
Guidelines
Registration of conferencing entities (Meeting Rooms, Entry Queues and SIP Factories) with
the SIP server adds these conferencing entities to the buddy list with their presence. It
enables the Office Communication Server client or LYNC Server client users to see the
availability status (Available or Offline) of these conferencing entities and connect to them
directly from the buddy list.
Right-click the

• Registration with Presence of up to 10 (RMX 2000) or 20 (RMX 4000) conferencing
entities to a single SIP Server is supported. When this number is exceeded, the
additional conferencing entity will fail to register and an appropriate error message will
be displayed.
• The Conferencing Entity (Meeting Room or Entry Queue or SIP Factory) has to be
added to the Active Directory as a User.
Make sure that a unique name is assigned to the conferencing entity and it is not
already used for another user account in the Active Directory.
• The conferencing entity name must not include any upper case letters.
• From Version 7.1, registration of the conferencing entity is defined in the Conference
Profile (and not in the IP Network Service), enabling you to choose the conferencing
entity to register.
• In Multiple Networks configuration, an IP Network Service that is enabled for
registration in a Conference Profile cannot be deleted.
• Upgrading from previous versions to version 7.1 and later requires manual update of
the registration in the Conference Profiles that are assigned to the conferencing entities.
