● During the upgrade process, the single-level address book file is save in the system to enable a future 
the downgrade of the version to a previous, single-level address book version (if required).
When downgrading from a multi-level address book version to a single-level address book version, the 
multi-level address book is replaced during the downgrade process by the single-level address book that 
was saved during the upgrade process.
Integrating the Global Address Book (GAB) of 
Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or 
Polycom CMA™ with the Collaboration Server
The Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA™ application includes a Global 
Address Book (GAB) with all registered endpoints. This address book can be used by the Collaboration 
Server users to add participants to conferences.
Guidelines for integrating with the Global Address Book of Polycom 
RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA™
● The Collaboration Server can use only one address book at a time. After you integrate the Polycom 
RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA with the Polycom Collaboration Server, 
the XMA/CMA address book replaces the Collaboration Server internal address book.
● The Collaboration Server uses the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA 
address book in read-only mode. You can only add or modify XMA/CMA address book entries from 
the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA.
To Integrate the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA Global Address 
Book (GAB) with the Collaboration Server:
In the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA application, manually add the 
Polycom Collaboration Server system to the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom 
CMA system as directed in the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA 
Operations Guide.
In the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA application, add a user or use an 
existing user for Collaboration Server login as directed in the RealPresence Resource Manager 
(XMA) or Polycom CMA Operations Guide
Write down the User Name and Password as they will be used later to define the Collaboration Server 
connection to the RealPresence Resource Manager (XMA) or Polycom CMA Global Address Book.
Collaboration Server Side
On the Collaboration Server menu, click Setup > System Configuration.
The Collaboration Server acts as a proxy to all address book requests between the Collaboration 
Server Web Client and the XMA/CMA. Ensure that firewall and other network settings allow the 
Collaboration Server access to the XMA or CMA server.
