Unpack and Install the Hardware Components

The Polycom CMA system uses a Polycom-branded Dell PowerEdge 1950 server.

To unpack and install the hardware:

1 Examine the Polycom CMA system shipping container for damage. 2 Open and review the container packing slips.

3 Open the containers and examine the contents for damage.

If you find damage, file a claim with the delivery carrier. Polycom is not responsible for damage sustained during shipment of this product. Besides this Polycom CMA System Getting Started Guide, the Polycom CMA system server package includes these items:

— Polycom CMA system server

— Power cord and power cord retention brackets — Rack-mount kit

— Serial cable

— Dell PowerEdge 1950 server documentation set

4 Unpack your system and identify each item. Keep all shipping materials in case you need them later.

5 Read the “Safety Instructions” in theRack Installation Guide and then use the brackets provided to install the system in the rack.

6 Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.

7 (Optional) Attach the power cord retention bracket on the right bend of the power supply handle. Bend the system power cable into a loop and attach to the bracket’s cable clasp. Repeat the procedure for the second power supply.

8 Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded electrical outlet or separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).

9 Press the power button onthe system. The power indicators should light. 10 (Optional) Install the bezel.

b Select (2) Default Gateway IP and enter the default gateway IP address.

c Select (3) to enter the system name, IP address, and subnet mask.

Note

You MUST connect to a live network to enable reliable configuration of the IP address. If you do not connect to the network now, the system IP address, DNS IP address, and default gateway will show 0.0.0.0.

Note

(12)

To connect to the Polycom CMA system through an ethernet port 1 Choose one of the following procedures:

— Connect the Polycom CMA system server (via the GB1 port) directly to an ethernet port on a computer through a crossover cable.

— Use ethernet cables to connect the Polycom CMA system server (via the GB1 port) and a computer to the same ethernet switch or hub. 2 Power on the computer and the Polycom CMA server .

3 Record the original IP address and subnet mask of your local computer, so you can restore these values after completing system setup.

4 From the Start menu, go to Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection Properties.

5 Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

6 In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, enter these values from Table 1-1, First-Time Setup Worksheet.

— IP address: 192.168.1.250

— Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

— Default gateway: Keep blank, or do not change. — Preferred DNS server: Keep blank, or do not change. — Alternate DNS server: Keep blank, or do not change.

7 Click OK and close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties and Local Area Connection Properties dialog boxes.

Go to Chapter 2, “Polycom® _CMA™_{System Software Setup.”}

Setup

This chapter describes the Polycom®_{Converged Management Application}™ (CMA™_{) system software setup tasks.}

Log into the Polycom CMA System

To log into the Polycom CMA system, you need: • An internet browser

• Adobe®_Flash®_{Player 9.0 or 10.0}

• The IP address of the Polycom CMA system server. See Complete the First-Time Setup Worksheet (Table 1-1 on page 1-2).

Notes

• If you are installing a redundant Polycom CMA system configuration, perform the procedures in this chapter on both Polycom CMA system servers.

• If you plan to enable an Active Directory domain controller, you must have an administrator with administrative rights on the Active Directory server available during software set up.

Note

(14)

— If prompted to install the Adobe Flash Player, click OK. and follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard.

— If you receive a Security Alert, click Yes.

2 When the Polycom CMA system login screen appears, if necessary select a different Language.

4 Click Login.

The Polycom CMA system First Time Setup wizard appears.

Run the First-time Setup Wizard

To run the First-time Setup Wizard:

1 Read the license agreement and click Accept to accept the terms and continue.

When the Network page appears, the fields contain the network information you entered previously.

2 Make sure that the network information is correct and click Next.

Note

If you used the serial port configuration method, this is the IP address you configured at that time. If you connected using a crossover ethernet cable or via a local hub, this is the default address of the Polycom CMA system: 192.168.1.254.

Note

Once you’ve completed the First Time Setup, you should change the default admin password.

Note

If you are using the direct ethernet configuration method, you must enter the information you recorded in Table 1-1 on page 1-2.

Note

If you change the IP address of the Polycom CMA system server, the system will reboot at this point.

(15)

Polycom® _CMA™_{System Software Setup}

3 If you used the direct ethernet configuration method, connect the Polycom CMA system server to the production network.

4 Wait 5 minutes for the system to completely reboot and then log into the Polycom CMA system again.

5 From the System Time page, select the correct System Time Zone for the system.

6 If necessary, check Auto adjust for Daylight Savings.

7 Click the Use Current Time checkbox and set the current date and time. 8 After you set the initial system date and time, we recommend

synchronizing the system with an external NTP server. To do this: a Select Use External NTP Server Time Synchronization.

b Enter the IP address or fully qualified host name for the NTP server. c Set the Minutes between synchronization attempts.

9 Click Next.

The Database page appears. By default, the Polycom CMA system internal database is used. An external database is required for the Polycom CMA 5000 system.

10 To continue to use the default internal database for First Time Setup purposes, skip to step 12 on page 2-4. You can set up the external database after you’ve finished First Time Setup.

Note

You may also wish to revert the browsing computer back to its original configuration.

Note

If you set the system to use an external NTP server without first setting the current date and time, the system time may be wrong until the system’s first synchronization.

Note

If you are installing a redundant Polycom CMA 5000 system configuration,

leave both servers configured to use the internal database. You will point them

(16)

b Select the Use an external SQL Server database check box. c Click Database Setup and download the Remote Database Setup

Utility, DBSetup.exe, to your computer.

d Run the Remote Database Setup Utility and complete the information requested in the setup screens.

has administrator privileges on the SQL server.

» If you use Microsoft SQL authentication, be sure the login ID is a member of the sysadmin role.

e Enter the database server’s IP address, port number, and instance name (if necessary, otherwise leave it blank) in the Database page. f Click Next.

The system connects to the server, and when the operation completes, it reboots.

g Wait 5 minutes and when the system completely reboots, log into the Polycom CMA system again. See “Log into the Polycom CMA System” on page 2-1.

The Polycom CMA First Time Setup wizard reappears. 12 Click Next.

The LDAP page appears.

By default, the Polycom CMA system accesses an internal user database. A Microsoft Active Directory implementation of LDAP is required for the Polycom CMA 5000 system.

13 To continue to use the local directory for First Time Setup purposes, skip to step 15 on page 2-5. You can set up the integration with an enterprise directory after you’ve finished First Time Setup.

14 To integrate the Polycom CMA system with an external Active Directory server so that users can include enterprise groups, users, and rooms in their conferences:

a In the LDAP page, select Integrate with LDAP server. b As needed, configure these settings on the LDAP page.

Setting Description
