Configure Redundancy
You can install the RealPresence Resource Manager system in a fault-tolerant,
high-availability, redundant configuration.
A redundant RealPresence Resource Manager system configuration requires
the installation of two RealPresence Resource Manager system servers on the
same network. During First Time Setup, you are instructed to assign these
two servers physical IP addresses. Once the two system servers are installed,
see “System Redundancy” on page 517 to finish implementing redundancy.
Set Up Site Topology
The video call routing setup includes site topology and bandwidth
management.
You can perform the following tasks:
• Define a site for each physical location in which a LAN or an ISDN
connection exists. If you use VPN connections, you can consolidate
distinct physical locations into a single logical site to simplify
management tasks. You can also define links between sites (site links).
• For each site, define the subnets in which the video endpoint systems are
deployed. It is important that the IP addresses used by the endpoints
belong to only one subnet at a site.
For more information, see “Setting Up Site Topology” on page 399.
Integrate with a Polycom DMA System
Polycom recommends integrating your RealPresence Resource Manager
system with a Polycom DMA system for both call manager (gatekeeper) and
conference manager services.
For more information, see “Managing a DMA System” on page 309.
Set Up Endpoint Management
The RealPresence Resource Manager system allows you to manage endpoints
in two ways:
• “Scheduled Management of Endpoints (Polycom and Third-Party)” on
page 16
• “Dynamic Management of Endpoints (Polycom Only)” on page 16
