How To Provisioning Endpoints With Sip Server Settings
After you provision endpoints with SIP settings, all endpoints receive directory information from one of those servers. You are no longer using the
enterprise directory or the other directory functions in the RealPresence Resource Manager system.
The RealPresence Resource Manager system supports SIP to establish conference connections. If you want to use SIP, you must enable it and
configure SIP settings. You must also ensure that users have SIP URIs.
To have the RealPresence Resource Manager system dynamically provision a Polycom endpoint for SIP integration, the endpoint must use the same
credentials (username and password) to access both the SIP server and the RealPresence Resource Manager system. Only then can the RealPresence
Resource Manager system provision SIP settings.
If the SIP server uses a third-party database for authentication that the RealPresence Resource Manager system is not aware of, you need to import
both the user information and SIP URI information from the SIP server.
1 Create a RealPresence Resource Manager system local user account for the endpoint that matches the username and password.
After you enable and configure SIP, you must import your endpoint SIP URI information from your SIP server. The SIP URI is used as the endpoint’s
address.
If you are using Microsoft as your SIP server, you do not need to import SIP URI data. The
RealPresence Resource Manager system can retrieve the SIP URI from the enterprise directory.
1 Create a CSV file in the format described here. The import requires a CSV file in the following format:
domain,username,deviceType,SIPURI,devicename
where:
Ø domain—Specifies the domain the user uses to log in to the RealPresence Resource Manager system.
Ø deviceType—Specifies the device type (valid values are HDX, VVX, CMADesktop, RPMobile, RPDesktop, GroupSeries or All_Types).
For example, this import reserves the SIP URI [email protected] for all device types for the John Doe user:
local,johndoe,All_Types,[email protected]
Whenever you add new users or rooms or need change a SIP URI, you must provide SIP URI data. For the methods available for editing the SIP URI
You can edit SIP URI data in either of the following ways:
¿ Upload a CSV file that has changes or new data. Data in the CSV file is added to any existing data.
¿ Edit individual users or rooms. For each RealPresence Resource Manager system user or room, you can add or edit the SIP URI in the Dial String
Reservations section of the Edit User or Edit Room dialog.
SIP settings are dynamically provisioned with a network provisioning profile. This procedure describes how to change existing network provisioning
settings so that they provision integration with a SIP server.
Be sure to enable SIP and configure the servers, protocol, and credentials needed for your SIP sever.
To provision SIP for integration with a SIP server:
2 Select the Network Provisioning Profile you want to edit and click .
3 In the Edit Profile dialog, click SIP Settings and select these options.
