Local and Enterprise Meeting Rooms
The RealPresence Resource Manager system allows a user assigned the default
Administrator role or the Area Administrator role to manage local and
enterprise meeting rooms and the endpoints associated with those meeting
rooms.
Most often a system is integrated with an enterprise directory to which rooms
have been added. However, the system also allows you to add local rooms
(that is, rooms added manually to the system) and associate them with
endpoints.
If you want to dynamically manage the endpoint associated with a room, you
must also associate each room in the system with a machine account. The
machine account allows the room’s endpoint to connect and authenticate with
the system for directory and dynamic management purposes without using
the endpoint user’s account. After you add a room, you can create the machine
account and associate the room with the machine account. For more
information, see “Add Machine Accounts” on page 542.
