Scheduled Provisioning Profiles
The RealPresence Resource Manager system does not include a default profile
for scheduled provisioning. You must create a profile before you can schedule
a endpoint for provisioning. Create a different profile for each endpoint type
(Polycom HDX system or Polycom CMA Desktop) and group of users.
Some examples of when to use scheduled provisioning profiles follow.
• To apply a standard set of options to each new endpoint
By creating templates of standard settings for different types of endpoints,
or for the needs of different users, you can have the RealPresence Resource
Manager system apply all the settings at once. After the endpoint is
connected and registered with the RealPresence Resource Manager
system, you can use a provisioning profile that defines a range of other
options.
• To update the password for all endpoints of a particular type
For security purposes, you can create a provisioning profile to update the
password for endpoints on a regular basis and reuse the same profile
quarterly. You might have several profiles, one for each type of endpoint
to update.
For information about how to add a scheduled provisioning profile, see “Add
a Scheduled Provisioning Profile” on page 160.
The sections may differ depending on the endpoint type selected.
Scheduled Provisioning Notes
Some notes about scheduled provisioning profiles and the scheduled
provisioning of endpoints:
• Each page in the scheduled Provisioning Fields dialog box has a
Provision This Page option. When this option is selected, the system
provisions all of the values on that page. When this option is not selected,
the system does not provision any of the values on that page. At least one
page must be provisioned, or the system returns an error stating, “No data
to save in profile. Either press Cancel or add pages.”
• Until the RealPresence Resource Manager system successfully provisions
an endpoint scheduled for provisioning, provisioning remains in the
Pending state and the system attempts to provision the endpoint until it
succeeds or until the provisioning is cancelled.
• If an endpoint scheduled for provisioning is In a Call, the system waits
until the call ends before provisioning the endpoint. The system checks the
endpoint at 15 minute intervals.
• If an endpoint scheduled for provisioning is Offline, the system attempts
to connect to it at 60 minute intervals until the endpoint is Online.
