Polycom RealPresence Platform Integration with VCS
65
Configuring SIP Integration Between a Polycom DMA
System and VCS
You can configure VCS to route audio and video calls to Polycom endpoints or bridge resources
via a SIP integration to Polycom DMA. To enable this integration, you need to perform steps in
both VCS and the Polycom DMA system.
For more information about the
Cisco Video Communications Server, see the Cisco VCS
Configuration Guides. For more information about Polycom DMA systems, see the
Administrator’s Guide for Polycom DMA Systems.
The following high level configuration tasks will be discussed:
• Configuring VCS for SIP Integration with DMA
• Configuring DMA for SIP Integration with VCS
Configuring VCS for SIP Integration with DMA
Perform the following steps to create a SIP integration in VCS to the DMA system and establish
the call routing infrastructure:
• Task 1: Adding a Neighbor Zone
• Task 2: Adding a Dial Plan Search Rule
• Task 3: Verify Subzones and Bandwidth Limits
Task 1: Adding a Neighbor Zone
VCS uses the concept of “zones” to configure neighbors.
To add a SIP neighbor zone:
1 From the VCS web administration pages, select VCS Configuration > Zones.
2 Click New to create a new neighbor.
3 Configure a Name that is meaningful for your deployment, and select Neighbor from the
Type dropdown list. The Neighbor Zone configuration parameters are then displayed.
4 Many settings can be left at default, but note the following parameters.
a Under H.323, select a Mode of Off from the dropdown list.
b Under SIP, first set Transport to TCP and then change the Port setting to 5060.
c Under Location, configure the Peer 1 address with the Virtual IP Address of your DMA
node. Alternatively, you can configure the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the
DMA SuperCluster.
d Under Advanced, the Default Zone profile will work for most deployments; however, the
VCS administrator should be consulted for any custom SIP attributes that are specific to
your deployment.
