Polycom® DMATM System Server Setup
The sections below describe the steps required to perform the initial setup of a Polycom® Distributed Media ApplicationTM (DMATM) multipoint conference platform server or two-node server cluster.
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.
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.

Must be a valid host name: the letters a - z (case-insensitive), digits 0 - 9, and internal hyphens are allowed. [. . . ] b c Leave Auto Adjust For Daylight Savings checked (deselecting this may cause problems, especially with NTP servers). Under 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.

Polycom® DMATM System Server Setup
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.
11 Make sure that both servers are off. 12 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. 13 On the first (or only) server (the one you want configured as Node 1), insert the USB stick into a USB port and boot (or reboot) the server. If you're replacing the system software, the server boots from the DVD, and the installation commences. If you're not replacing the system software (or if you are, after the reboot), the server reads its network and system parameters from the USB stick and applies them. 15 If you're installing a two-node cluster, turn on the second server (Node 2). If you're replacing the system software, insert the Polycom DMA system installation disk into the DVD drive, turn off the server, and turn it back on. If you're replacing the system software, the server boots from the DVD, and the installation commences. If you're not replacing the system software (or if you are, after the reboot), the server detects and gets its configuration settings from Node 1, and joins the cluster. 16 On a PC with network access to the Polycom DMA system, point your browser to the system's virtual host name or IP address and log in with user ID admin and password admin. The Polycom DMA system's management interface appears, displaying the Dashboard. From its menus, you can complete your system setup: -- Install your license(s). -- Add MCUs to the system, add conference templates for the MCUs, and set conference defaults.

-- Configure the system to use a gatekeeper (if H. 323 is enabled) and set up SIP protocols and ports (if SIP is enabled). While the server is rebooting, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the laptop and connect the server's GB 1 interface to the enterprise network.
