Add Site Dialog
Lets you define a new site in the Polycom RealPresence DMA system’s site topology and specify which 
subnets are associated with it. The following table describes the fields in the dialog. 
Logical host name 
If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see 
is the logical FQDN that endpoints in this site should register to. 
The system generates this by combining “callserver,” the site name, and the 
value specified in the Call server sub-domain controlled by RealPresence 
DMA
 field on the Embedded DNS page. 
If the site name contains a character not permitted in a host name, the system 
replaces it with a dash (hyphen) followed by the hex code of the ASCII 
character. For instance, if the site is named “paris (north)” and the call server 
sub-domain is “callservers.example.com,” the logical host name would be: 
callserver-paris-20-28north-29.callservers.example.com 
Device Types 
MCUs 
The number of MCUs in the site. 
DMAs 
The number of Polycom RealPresence DMA systems in the site. 
VBPs 
The number of Polycom Video Border Proxy NAT/firewall traversal appliances 
in the site.

Description
General Info 
General Settings 
Site name 
A meaningful name for the site (up to 128 characters). 
Note: If the system’s embedded DNS service is enabled (see 
), the system uses the site name to create the Logical host name (see 
). We strongly recommend: 
Using site names that contain only characters permitted in a host name 
(letters, numbers, and internal hyphens). 
Entering network/DNS-related information in all lower case to avoid 
possible case-sensitivity issues with various devices and ensure 
interoperability. 
Description 
A brief description of the site (up to 200 characters).
