To add an MCU bridge or find an MCU on the network
1 Go to Network Device > MCUs and click Add.
2 In the Add New Device dialog box, select the Device Type of interest.
3 Enter either the IP Address or the DNS Name of the MCU.
4 Enter the Admin ID and Password for the MCU.
5 Click Find Device.
— If the RealPresence Resource Manager system can find the MCU on
the network, the Add New Device dialog box is populated with
information retrieved from the MCU. Review any information
retrieved from the MCU.
— If the RealPresence Resource Manager system cannot find the MCU on
the network, a Device Not Found dialog box appears.
6 Click OK.
7 Complete the Identification, Addresses, Capabilities, MCU Services,
MCU Resources, and MCU Cascading sections of the Add New Device
dialog box.
For more information, see “View Device Details” on page 289.
At a minimum, assign the MCU a System Name.
Pay particular attention to the Capabilities options, because these settings
determine how the MCU is used throughout the RealPresence Resource
Manager system.
8 Click Add.
The MCU appears in the Network Device list. By default, the system:
— Adds the MCU to the applicable site
— Sets the HTTP Port to
80
— Adds an Alias for the MCU
— Makes the MCU Available to Schedule
— Sets the Monitoring Level to Standard
When Integrating with a DMA System
• If your system integrates with a Polycom DMA system, make sure your MCU
system name includes a qualifier that indicates to the DMA system
administrator that the MCU is directly registered to the RealPresence
Resource Manager system; for example,
ResourceManager_RMX10
.
• An RMX system can be managed by the RealPresence Resource Manager or
the Polycom DMA system, not both.
