Site Topology
Polycom, Inc. 282
Add Site Dialog Box
Lets you define a new site in the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s site topology and specify which
subnets are associated with it. The following table describes the fields in the dialog box.
Field Description
General Info
General Settings
Site name A meaningful name for the site (up to 128 characters).
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 Site Information Dialog Box on page 281). 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 (up to 200 characters).
Bandwidth Settings
Max bandwidth (Mbps) The total bandwidth limit for voice and video calls. If not selected, voice and
video calls can use all of the available bandwidth.
This setting lets you restrict voice and video calls to only a portion of the
available bandwidth, ensuring that some bandwidth always remains available
for other network traffic.
Max bit rate (kbps) The per-call bit rate limit for voice and video calls.
Note: Bit rate is not the same as bandwidth. Since the bit rate applies in both
directions and there is overhead, the actual bandwidth consumed is about 2.5
times the bit rate selected.
When you specify both the bandwidth and bit rate limits, the dialog box shows
you how many calls at that bit rate the specified bandwidth limit supports.
Territory Settings
Territory Assigns the site to a territory, and thus to a Polycom RealPresence DMA
cluster.
