Add and Monitor Endpoints and Peripherals Endpoint Operations
Polycom, Inc. 101
— If the RealPresence Resource Manager system can find the endpoint
on the network, the Add New Device dialog box is populated with
information retrieved from the endpoint. Review any information
retrieved from the endpoint.
— If the RealPresence Resource Manager system cannot find the
endpoint on the network, a Device Not Found dialog box appears.
5 Assign the endpoint a System Name.You can edit the system name only
if the RealPresence Resource Manager failed to find the endpoint.
Endpoint names must be unique, must be in ASCII only, and may have an
unlimited number of characters. Spaces, dashes, and underscores are
valid.
6 If necessary, enter the Admin ID and Password for the endpoint. Some
endpoints may not require this information. Other endpoints may require
only a password.
7 Complete the Identification, Addresses, and Capabilities sections of the
Add New Device dialog box.
Pay particular attention to the Capabilities options, because these settings
determine how the endpoint is used throughout the RealPresence
Resource Manager system. For example, you can select it as a VIP
endpoint and determine whether it will be Available to Schedule through
the scheduling interface.
Note that many fields in this dialog box are ASCII only. Depending on the
selected type, some of these fields may not be displayed or may not be
editable.
If you enter an invalid Admin ID or Password for an endpoint that requires that
information, the RealPresence Resource Manager system may still find the
endpoint. It depends upon the endpoint type.
• Polycom HDX systems won’t allow the RealPresence Resource Manager
system to detect the endpoint type and complete the registration. You can
manually add the endpoint, but the RealPresence Resource Manager system
cannot communicate with it until you’ve entered a valid Admin ID or
Password for the endpoint. In this case, the RealPresence Resource Manager
system records an error message in an error log.
• The Find Device function only works for endpoints with a specified Device
Type. If you selected a Device Type of Other, the RealPresence Resource
Manager system will report an error.
