Polycom®DMA™System Server

Setup

The sections below describe the steps required to perform the initial setup of a

Polycom®Distributed Media Application™(DMA™) multipoint conference

platform server or two-node server cluster.

At the end of this procedure, you will have successfully logged into the

Polycom DMA system and be ready to finish configuring the system,

including setting up users and MCUs, integrating with an enterprise directory,

and configuring the system to use a gatekeeper.

Collect Necessary Materials

•Polycom DMA system server shipment

•Completed First-Time Setup Worksheet (see page 2)

•PC running Microsoft Windows (XP Pro or Vista) with:

—USB port

—Java 1.6 or newer

—Internet Explorer 6 or newer, or Firefox 2 or newer

—Adobe Flash Player 9.0.28 or newer

If you’re installing a new server to expand a single-node system into a two-node

cluster, see “Adding a Second Server” in the Polycom DMA Operations Guide or

online help.

Unpack and Install the Hardware Components

The Polycom DMA system uses either one or two Polycom-branded Dell

servers.

To unpack and install the hardware

1If you purchased Polycom RMX 2000 conference platforms (MCUs) with

your Polycom DMA system servers, unpack and install them as described

in the Polycom RMX 2000 Getting Started Guide.

2Examine the Polycom DMA system shipping containers for damage.

Polycom is not responsible for damage sustained during shipment of this

product.

3Open and review the container packing slips.

—2 power cords

—1 rack-mount kit (four-post)

—1 bezel key

—1 server documentation set

—1 copy of this Polycom DMA System Getting Started Guide

System Configuration

Information My System Values Description

DMA Getting Started Guide

4Polycom, Inc.

—1 USB memory stick containing the Polycom DMA USB Configuration

Utility

—2 crossover Ethernet cables, short and long (not used for single-server

system)

—Your license documents

If you ordered the optional 2-post rack mounting kit, it’s in a separate box.

A two-node system shipment contains a second set of the above items.

5Examine the contents for damage.

If you find damage, file a claim with the delivery carrier. Polycom is not

responsible for damage sustained during shipment.

6Remove all of the components from their containers.

7Install the Polycom DMA server(s) according to the server

documentation. To rack-mount a server, refer to the Rack Installation

Guide and use the brackets provided.

8Connect the Polycom DMA server(s) to the network:

aConnect the GB 1 Ethernet port of each server to the enterprise

network.

bFor a two-node system, connect one of the provided crossover cables

to the GB 2 ports of the two servers.

Don’t turn on the server(s) at this time.

9Remove the bezel(s) from the server(s).

Configure the Polycom DMA System Server(s)

You configure the Polycom DMA system server(s) using the Polycom DMA

USB Configuration Utility on the USB memory stick.

To configure the Polycom DMA system server(s)

1Connect the USB memory stick containing the Polycom DMA USB

Configuration Utility to a Windows PC.

To configure the system server(s) without using the USB memory stick, see

“Alternate Procedure: Configure the Polycom DMA System Server(s) Without Using

the USB Stick” on page 8.

2When prompted, elect to run the Configuration Utility.

3In the DMA USB Configuration Utility window, click Configure the

System Parameters.

4On the Network page, if you’re installing a two-node cluster, click

Enable 2-node configuration.

5Enter the network values from the First-Time Setup Worksheet and click

Next.

6On the System Time page:

aSelect the correct System time zone for your location.

bLeave Auto Adjust For Daylight Savings checked (deselecting this

may cause problems, especially with NTP servers).

cUnder NTP servers, enter the IP addresses (or domain names) for the

time servers from the First-Time Setup Worksheet.

We strongly recommend specifying at least one and preferably three

time servers. Use NTP stratum 3 quality time servers, if possible.

dClick Next.

If autorun doesn’t work or is turned off, navigate to the USB memory stick using My

Computer, Windows Explorer, or another file manager. Then start the Configuration

Utility by double-clicking

dma7000-usb-config.exe

DMA Getting Started Guide

6Polycom, Inc.

7On the Security Configuration page, select the unsecured access

methods you want to enable and deselect the ones you want to disable.

Or select High security to disable all those listed.

8Click Done.

The utility confirms that the configuration file was created and returns

you to the initial menu.

9Verify that the initial menu now states that The USB stick is set to apply

system parameters.

10 Close the program.

11 In your system tray, click Safely Remove Hardware and select Safely

Remove USB Mass Storage Device. When a message tells you it’s safe to

do so, disconnect the USB memory stick from the PC.

12 Make sure that both servers are off.

13 If you need to replace the system software on the server(s) with a

different version, turn on the first (or only) server (the one you want

configured as Node 1) and insert the system installation disk for that

version. Otherwise, continue with the next step.

The Polycom DMA system software is already installed on the server(s), so the

system installation disk isn’t needed to set up a new system. Using it overwrites the

same software already on the server and needlessly lengthens the setup process.

Put the disk away in a safe place in case it’s ever needed to restore the system.
