Polycom Unified Communications for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Environments
4 Polycom, Inc.
Direct Registration of Polycom Endpoints with the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
When you register your Polycom endpoints directly with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, you have a single source for call admission control
and bandwidth management. Cisco endpoints can also use telephone
functions like hold, transfer and so on when on calls with Polycom endpoints.
This deployment model can also be used in conjunction with other
deployment models in this guide.
For deployment details, see “Direct Registration of Polycom Systems with the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager” on page 7.
Direct Registration of Polycom Telepresence Endpoints with the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
When you register your Polycom telepresence endpoints directly with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, you have a single source for call
admission control and bandwidth management. Cisco endpoints can also use
telephone functions like hold, transfer and so on when on calls with Polycom
endpoints.
When Polycom telepresence and video endpoints have the TIP option key
installed, they can participate in calls with Cisco CTS endpoints.
For deployment details, see “Direct Registration of Polycom Telepresence
Systems with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager” on page 29.
Neighbored Gatekeepers
Consider neighboring gatekeepers if you are integrating an existing Cisco
environment with an existing Polycom network. Neighbored gatekeepers
make it easier to create a common dial plan. With neighbored gatekeepers, you
can do number translation and maintain your existing environments.
For deployment details, see “Neighbored Cisco IOS and Polycom CMA
Gatekeepers” on page 65.
Standalone Polycom CMA System as a Gatekeeper
When you register your Polycom components with Polycom CMA system,
bandwidth and call admission control is split between the CMA system and
Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Polycom CMA system fully
manages your Polycom components and you can take advantage of CMA
provisioning with dynamic management.
For deployment details, see “Using a Polycom CMA System as a Gatekeeper”
on page 87.
