Administration
The various deployment combinations and settings within the Deployment Architecture affects the 
administration of the system.
DMA
The DMA system can be configured as a SIP proxy and registrar for the environment as well as a 
Gatekeeper for dial in H.323 calls. When configured as a Gateway for dial in H.323 calls, it enables H.323 
endpoints to connect to the same VMR as SIP clients.
When used as a SIP peer, the DMA system can host video calls between Cisco endpoints that are registered 
with the CUCM, Lync Clients that are registered with the Lync Server and Polycom endpoints that are 
registered with the DMA system.
For more information see the 
Polycom Unified Communications Deployment Guide for Cisco Environments
Using a Polycom DMA System as SIP Peer
.
Microsoft Lync Server
Microsoft Lync Server manages Presence for each registered Polycom endpoint and enables video calls 
between Lync Clients and Polycom endpoints allowing Lync contacts to be called without needing to know 
their addresses.
RTV video, MS-ICE and Lync-hosted conferencing are supported when Polycom endpoints are registered 
to Lync Server. Polycom endpoints use H.264, while Lync Clients use the RTV protocol.
CUCM
When Polycom SIP endpoints (voice and video) are registered directly with CUCM you can take advantage 
of supported telephone functions. CUCM may not support the full range of codecs and features available 
on the Polycom equipment. CUCM supported codecs and features will be used in such cases.

Polycom Unified Communications Deployment Guide for Cisco Environments,
