Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager System Operations Guide Setting Up Dynamic Provisioning Profiles
224 Polycom, Inc.
• When Polycom endpoints are able to automatically discover the
RealPresence Resource Manager. This means you must add the DNS
service record (SRV record) for the RealPresence Resource Manager.
In dynamic management mode, when a endpoint starts up and at designated
intervals thereafter, it automatically polls the RealPresence Resource Manager
system for a newer software update package or provisioning profile. If a either
is found, the package is sent in XML format over a secure HTTPS connection.
Endpoints do not poll the system if they are in a call. They restart polling after
the call ends.
Setting Up Dynamic Provisioning Profiles
When you dynamically manage endpoints (have the endpoint use the
RealPresence Resource Manager as its provisioning server), you can
automatically configure them by using provisioning profiles.
Types of Dynamic Provisioning Profiles
The RealPresence Resource Manager provides three types of provisioning
profiles for use when you dynamically manage endpoints.
• Site provisioning profiles allow you to assign network settings to all
endpoints in a particular network location.
• User Group provisioning profiles allow you to configure settings
according to the user group to which the endpoint’s user belongs.
Do not use scheduled provisioning profiles for endpoints that are dynamically
managed. You should use either scheduled or dynamic provisioning for an
endpoint, never both.
Most Polycom endpoints can be dynamically managed (use the RealPresence
Resource Manager as their provisioning server).
