Polycom CMA System Release Notes

Version 5.3

Polycom Global Address Book Access

With Polycom CMA system version 5.3, users of the TANDBERG 150, 990, 880,

and 770 MXP endpoints can access the Polycom Global Address Book, so they

can see the endpoints in the Global Address Book.

The timing of the endpoint’s connection with the Global Address Book can

affect the success of its connection. We recommend the following process:

1 At the endpoint, enter the information required for directory set up

including the Polycom Global Address Book/Polycom CMA system IP

address and the path. To do this, on the endpoint, go to Endpoint

Configuration > General > External Phone Book Settings.

2 Wait for the connections to take effect.

3 At the Polycom CMA system, go to Endpoint > Monitor View and verify

the endpoint’s Global Address Book connection status is green.

Some notes about the TANDBERG connection to the Global Address Book:

• Even if the Global Address Book is password protected, TANDBERG

endpoints are not required to provide a password. They have unrestricted

access to the Global Address Book.

• Any third-party endpoint, including TANDBERG endpoints, that are

registered to the Polycom CMA system gatekeeper are displayed in the

Global Address Book.

Reporting

Polycom CMA system version 5.3 includes standard reporting for

TANDBERG 150, 990, 880, and 770 MXP endpoints.

Overbooking Dial-in Participants

In the Polycom CMA system v5.3, an administrator can configure the system

to allow scheduler’s to overbook dial-in participants. In this case, dial-in

participants can be scheduled to dial into multiple conferences during the

same time period, but the system reserves resources for the participant for

only the first scheduled conference. Dial-out participants cannot be scheduled

into multiple conferences.

To allow schedulers to overbook dial-in participants

1 Go to Admin > Conference Settings.

2 In the Allow Overbooking of dial-in participants section of the

Conference Settings page, check the Enabled checkbox.

3 Click Update.
