Polycom HDX Systems
When a user of a Polycom HDX system successfully logs into a RealPresence
Resource Manager system, the RealPresence Resource Manager system creates
an E.164 alias for that endpoint also. Again, this alias is based on the user's
phone number in Active Directory (or a random, unique number, if no phone
number is listed for the user), but with a “1” appended to the number. Users
of other endpoints can connect to the user's endpoint by dialing this alias or by
searching for them by name in the directory.
