Territories
The Territories page lists the territories defined in the site topology. On the right, it displays information 
about the selected territory. 
A territory contains one or more sites for which a Polycom RealPresence DMA cluster is responsible. By 
default, there is one territory named Default DMA Territory. 
In a superclustered RealPresence DMA system deployment, additional territories allow you to assign 
different territories to different RealPresence DMA clusters and to specify a backup cluster for each territory 
to increase fault tolerance. If a territory’s primary cluster becomes unavailable for any reason, the backup 
cluster takes over the responsibilities for the territory. 
Territories serve the following purposes: 
● Sites are associated with territories, thus specifying which RealPresence DMA cluster is responsible 
for serving as the H.323 gatekeeper, SIP registrar, and SIP proxy for each site. 
● Microsoft Active Directory integration is associated with a territory, thus specifying which 
RealPresence DMA cluster is responsible for connecting to the directory server, retrieving user and 
group data, and updating the shared supercluster data. 
● Microsoft Exchange server integration (for calendaring service) is associated with a territory, thus 
specifying which RealPresence DMA cluster is responsible for integrating with the Exchange server 
and monitoring the Polycom Conferencing infrastructure mailbox. 
● The RealPresence DMA system’s Conference Manager functionality is associated with territories, 
thus specifying which Polycom RealPresence DMA clusters are responsible for hosting conference 
rooms (VMRs). Up to three territories (and thus clusters) may have this responsibility. 
If the system is integrated with a RealPresence Resource Manager system, it receives territory information 
from that system, and the Territories page is view-only. If not, you can modify the territory information. 
The commands in the Actions list let you add a territory and edit or delete territories, or if the system is 
integrated with a RealPresence Resource Manager system, view details for a territory. 
The following table describes the fields in the list and the sections on the right.
