Add MCU Dialog Box
Lets you add an MCU, gateway, or combination of the two to the pool of
devices available to the Polycom DMA system.
The following table describes the fields in the dialog box.
Note
The Polycom DMA system supports the use of Cisco Codian 4200, 4500, and MSE
8000 series MCUs as part of the Conference Manager’s conferencing resource
pool, but their Media Port Reservation feature is not supported. This feature must
be set to Disabled on Cisco Codian MCUs in order to use them as part of the
Conference Manager’s conferencing resource pool.
The Polycom DMA system supports the use of Polycom MGC MCUs, but not as
part of the Conference Manager’s conferencing resource pool. They can register
with the Call Server as standalone MCUs and/or gateways.
When a Polycom RMX MCU is functioning as an ISDN gateway, each call through
the gateway consumes two ports, one for the ISDN side and one for the H.323 side.
The ports used for gateway calls aren’t available for conferences, so gateway
operations may significantly reduce the available conferencing resources.

Field Description
External MCU
Name Name for the MCU (up to 32 characters).
Type Lists the types of MCUs the system supports. Must be
set to the correct MCU type in order for the DMA system
to be able to connect to it.
Management IP
address
IP address for logging into the MCU (to use it as a
conferencing resource).
Admin user ID Administrative user ID with which the Polycom DMA
system can log into the MCU.
For a maximum security environment, this must be a
machine account created on the RMX MCU. Note that
the RMX MCU uses case-sensitive machine names
(and thus FQDNs) when creating machine accounts.
Password Password for the administrative user ID.
