Managing DMA Pool Orders Managing a DMA System
Polycom, Inc. 315
The DMA system administrator is responsible for setting up pool orders to be
used. You should work with your DMA system administrator to determine the
specifics about the pool orders associated with your DMA system. This
information can also be useful for schedulers who need to choose a pool order
to use for a conference.
DMA Pool Orders are groups of MCU pools that are hierarchically organized.
Some uses for DMA system pool orders:
• The DMA system administrator can put all MCUs in a specific site or
domain into a pool. Then, assign a pool order to all users in that site or
domain (via group membership) ensuring that their conferences are
preferentially routed to MCUs in that pool.
• The DMA system administrator could put one or more MCUs into a pool
to be used only by executives, and put that pool into a pool order
associated only with those executives’ conference rooms.
• The DMA system administrator could put MCUs with special capabilities
into a pool, and put that pool into a pool order associated only with
custom conference rooms requiring those capabilities.
For more information about pool orders, see the Polycom DMA 7000 System
Operations Guide.
