Field Description
Site Info
Site name Name of the site.
Note: If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see Embedded
DNS on page 274), the system uses the site name to create the Logical host
name (see below). We strongly recommend:
• Using site names that contain only characters permitted in a host name
(letters, numbers, and internal hyphens).
• Entering network/DNS-related information in all lower case to avoid
possible case-sensitivity issues with various devices and ensure
interoperability.
Description A brief description of the site.
Logical host name If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see Embedded DNS on
page 274), this is the logical FQDN that endpoints in this site should register
to.
The system generates this by combining “callserver,” the site name, and the
value specified in the Call server sub-domain controlled by RealPresence
DMA field on the Embedded DNS page.
If the site name contains a character not permitted in a host name, the system
replaces it with a dash (hyphen) followed by the hex code of the ASCII
character. For instance, if the site is named “paris (north)” and the call server
sub-domain is “callservers.example.com,” the logical host name would be:
callserver-paris-20-28north-29.callservers.example.com

RealPresence DMAs The number of Polycom RealPresence DMA systems in the site.
