Introduction to the Polycom DMA System Polycom

7000 System Overview
Polycom, Inc. 3
• Provisioning
• Conference control and monitoring
• Call control and dial-out
• Billing and usage data retrieval
• Resource availability queries
The API uses XML encoding over HTTPS transport and adheres to a
Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture.
No separate license is needed in order for a Polycom RealPresence Resource
Manager system to integrate with the DMA system via the API. This
integration provides the full programmatic access to the DMA system
described above, and enables users of the RealPresence Resource Manager
scheduling interface to:
• Schedule conferences using the DMA system’s MCU resources.
• Set up Anytime conferences. Anytime conferences are referred to as preset
dial-out conferences in the DMA system (see “Edit Conference Room
Dialog Box” on page 309)
The Polycom DMA System’s Three Configurations
Two-server Cluster Configuration
The Polycom DMA system is designed to be deployed as a pair of co-located
redundant servers that share the same virtual IP address(es). The two-server
cluster configuration of the Polycom DMA system has no single point of
failure within the system that could cause the service to become unavailable.
Note
Integrating the Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system with the DMA
system via the API is separate and distinct from integrating the DMA system with a
Polycom CMA or RealPresence Resource Manager system.
• The former enables RealPresence Resource Manager users to obtain
information from and use functionality of the DMA system that would otherwise
be accessible only in the DMA system’s management interface.
• The latter enables the DMA system to retrieve site topology information and
user-to-device associations from the CMA or RealPresence Resource Manager
system.
For convenience, however, when you perform the former operation on the
RealPresence Resource Manager system, the latter integration is automatically
performed for you so that the DMA system will have the site topology and user-to-
device information that the RealPresence Resource Manager system expects it to
have.
