Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

The MCU cannot register 
with the CMA system.
Some MCU vendors register with a 
GRQ message instead of an RRQ 
message. 
Some MCU vendors do not retry 
registration after a first attempt has 
failed.
• Verify that the Default Gatekeeper 
check box is selected in the Admin > 
Gatekeeper Settings > Primary 
Gatekeeper page.
• Reset the MCU or MGC card to force 
registration to occur.
An endpoint shows that it is 
not registered to the 
gatekeeper in the 
Gatekeeper Registration 
field in the Device Status.
The CMA system receives the RRQ 
message, but not the LWRRQ 
message from the endpoint. 
The endpoint did not send a 
LWRRQ message within the offline 
timeout period specified in the 
Admin > Gatekeeper Settings > 
Primary Gatekeeper page.
• Reboot the endpoint.
The RadVision OnLAN 
MCU continually changes 
state: from online to offline 
and offline to online.
The Radvision OnLAN MCU ignores 
the RCF Time to Live (TTL) field, 
which is filled in with the value that 
the administrator specified in the 
offline timeout field in the Admin > 
Gatekeeper Settings > Primary 
Gatekeeper page. 
• Reconfigure the Radvision OnLAN 
MCU to send the registration requests 
in the same time period specified in 
CMA.
• Add the MCU manually.
• Reboot the MCU to force registration to 
occur.
Some endpoints are not 
assigned ISDN numbers.
A registered H.323-only system was 
not assigned an ISDN number. The 
system could belong to a network 
that does not have ISDN number 
ranges assigned to it. 
No ISDN numbers are available to 
assign.
• Verify that the endpoint belongs to the 
site that has assigned ISDN number 
ranges. To do so, go to Admin > Dial 
Plan and Sites > Sites and make sure 
the site has the correct ISDN range 
specified in the ISDN Number 
Assignment pane.
• Verify that ISDN numbers are available 
to assign. 
• Verify that the RCF message “Can’t find 
ISDN free pool” from the gatekeeper 
returns to the endpoint. 
Endpoints that were 
previously registered and 
auto-assigned ISDN 
numbers are being rejected 
when attempting to register.
Inconsistent configuration in ISDN 
number assignment has occurred.
• Verify that the previous ISDN range was 
changed.
When the CMA system is 
restarted, some registrants 
that were previously online 
are now offline.
Some endpoints do not reregister 
when the CMA system goes down.
Some MCUs do not reregister 
automatically after two retries.
•  Reboot the MCU.
