Automatic Provisioning with RealPresence Resource Manager
You can use the configuration parameters described in this guide to provision single or multiple Polycom
G7500 systems.
Understanding Parameter Lists
The following describes a general convention for details you can find in parameter lists. Parameter details can vary depending on the complexity of the parameter.
parameter.name
A parameter’s description, applicability, or dependencies, as needed.
The parameter’s permitted values, default value, and the value’s unit of measure (such as seconds, Hz, or dB).
A
Note:
that highlights critical information you need to know.
Automatic Provisioning with RealPresence Resource
Manager
By default, the RealPresence Resource Manager system automatically provisions some G7500 system settings for you using a special configuration value (for example, voIpProt.SIP.userName=
“$
{sip_alias}”
).
The following parameters support automatic configuration values: device.local.deviceName=“${device_name}” dir.ldap.server.address=“${ldap_serveraddress}” dir.ldap.baseDN=“${ldap_baseDN}” dir.ldap.defaultGroupDN=“${ldap_defaultgroupDN}” voIpProt.H323.name=“${h323_ID}” voIpProt.H323.e164=“${h323_e164}” voIpProt.SIP.userName=“${sip_alias}”
These parameters are provisioned by default, so you won’t see them in the profiles provided by the
RealPresence Resource Manager system. You can overwrite these parameters with your own values (for example, voIpProt.SIP.userName=
“meetingSpace”
).
You also can automatically generate new values by resetting these parameters with a special configuration value (for example, voIpProt.H323.e164=
“${h323_e164}”
). However, you can’t rename existing endpoints by setting device.local.deviceName=
“${device_name}”
because that value is applied only to new endpoints.
For more information, see the RealPresence Resource Manager documentation .

Note:
For the fixed ports you configure, you must open the corresponding ports on your firewall. For H.323, open TCP port 1720. For SIP, open UDP port 5060,
TCP 5060, or TCP 5061 depending on if you're using UDP, TCP, or TLS, respectively, as the SIP transport protocol.
net.firewall.fixedPorts.tcpStart
The starting value for the range of TCP ports used by the system. The system automatically configures the range based on the beginning value you set here.
Polycom, Inc.
48
Network Parameters
The system assigns a port range starting with the TCP and UDP ports you specify (port 3230 is where the range begins by default).
To allow H.323 traffic, you need two TCP and eight UDP ports per connection. You must also open TCP port 1720 on the firewall.
To allow SIP traffic, you need TCP port 5060 and eight UDP ports per connection.
Fixed ports range and filters: You might notice that the source port of a SIP signaling message is not in the fixed ports range. When your firewall is filtering on source ports, in the system web interface, set voIpProt.SIP.forceConnectionReuse="1". When enabled, the system uses port
5060 and 5061 for the source and destination port (these must be open on the firewall).

Security Parameters
Topics:
▪
Provisioning Updated PKI Certificates and CRLs
▪
This section describes available security configuration parameters. Included are permitted values and, if applicable, guidance for configuring related parameters.
Provisioning Updated PKI Certificates and CRLs
During provisioning, your G7500 system checks if a new public key infrastructure (PKI) certificate is just an updated version of an installed certificate.
If the certificate contents have changed since it was last successfully provisioned or manually installed
(e.g., there’s a new expiration date), the new certificate is applied and the older one is deleted. If the certificate hasn’t changed, the new certificate is ignored.
This is not the case with certificate revocation lists (CRLs), which are replaced each time your system is provisioned even if the CRL hasn’t changed.
Security Parameters
Use the following parameters to configure security settings on your G7500 system.
sec.access.maxSessions

If the OCSP responder indicates a known revoked status, your system treats it as a revocation check failure and doesn't allow the connection. If the OCSP responder indicates a known good status, your system treats it as a successful revocation check and allows the connection
0 (default)
1
sec.TLS.revocation.ocsp.enable
Specifies the certificate revocation method you want to use.
0 (default) - Set to use the CRL method of revocation.
1 - Set to use the OCSP method of revocation.
sec.TLS.revocation.ocsp.responderAddress
Specifies the URI of the OCSP responder (e.g., http://responder.example.com/ocsp). The responder is used when sec.TLS.revocation.ocsp.useResponderInCert is disabled and sometimes even when it's enabled. Polycom recommends you always include a URI in this field regardless of how sec.TLS.revocation.ocsp.useResponderInCert is configured.
To use this parameter, make sure to set sec.TLS.revocation.ocsp.enable="1".
String
sec.TLS.revocation.ocsp.useResponderInCert

When H.235 Annex D Authentication is enabled, the H.323 gatekeeper ensures that only trusted
H.323 endpoints can access the gatekeeper.
To use this parameter, you should set voIpProt.H323.gk.mode="Specify".
0 (default)
1
voIpProt.H323.gk.auth.password
Specifies a password if authentication is required for registering with the gatekeeper.
To use this parameter, you should set voIpProt.H323.gk.mode="Specify" and voIpProt.H323.gk.auth.enable="1".
String
voIpProt.H323.gk.auth.userId
Specifies a username if authentication is required for registering with the gatekeeper.
To use this parameter, you should set voIpProt.H323.gk.mode="Specify" and voIpProt.H323.gk.auth.enable="1".
String (0-62)
voIpProt.H323.gk.ipAddress
The gatekeeper IPv4 address the system registers with.
As part of the registration process, the gatekeeper might return alternate gatekeepers. If communication with the primary gatekeeper is lost, your system registers with the alternate gatekeeper but continues to poll the primary gatekeeper. If the system re-establishes communication with the primary gatekeeper, it unregisters from the alternate gatekeeper.
What you can set here is determined by how you’ve configured voIpProt.H323.gk.mode:
Off - Setting the gatekeeper IP address isn’t needed.
Auto - Setting the gatekeeper IP address isn’t needed.
Specify - Enter the gatekeeper IP address or name (e.g., 10.11.12.13 or gatekeeper.companyname.usa.com).
String (0-255)
voIpProt.H323.gk.mode
Specifies if you want to use a gatekeeper for H.323 services.
Off (default) - Calls do not use a gatekeeper.

VoIP Parameters
Auto - System tries to automatically find an available gatekeeper.
Specify - Calls use the specified gatekeeper. Set this value if if you want to use voIpProt.H323.gk.auth.enable.
voIpProt.H323.name
How gatekeepers and gateways identify your system. You can make point-to-point calls using H.
323 names if both systems are registered to a gatekeeper.
The value here is the same set for device.local.deviceName unless you change it. (Your organization's dial plan might define the name you can use.)
String (0-36)
${h323_ID} - RealPresence Resource Manager accepts this value to automatically configure the parameter.
voIpProt.SIP.auth.useLoginCredentials
Specifies if you want to register with a SIP service using the same credentials you used for registering with a provisioning service.
With this parameter, provisioning separate username, password, and domain parameters for the
SIP service isn’t necessary.
0 (default)
1
voIpProt.SIP.auth.password
The password associated with the username for authenticating your system with a SIP registrar server.
String
voIpProt.SIP.bfcpTransportPreference
Controls content sharing negotiation behavior. Using the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP), a relationship is established between the floor control server and its clients. What you set here determines how network traffic flows between the server and clients.
Prefer_UDP (default) - Starts resource sharing using UDP but falls back to TCP if needed.
Prefer_TCP - Starts resource sharing using TCP but falls back to UDP if needed.
UDP_ONLY - Shares resources only using UDP. If UDP is unavailable, content sharing in a separate video stream isn't available.
TCP_ONLY - Shares resources only through TCP. If TCP is unavailable, content sharing in a separate video stream isn't available.
Note:
TCP is typically known as slightly slower but more reliable than UDP. It is not supported under some circumstances, such as with session border controllers
(SBCs).
voIpProt.SIP.enable
Enables or disables the ability for your system to use the SIP protocol.
You must set to "1" to use other voIpProt.SIP.* parameters.
If set to "0", you can't also set voIpProt.H323.enable="0".
0 (default)

VoIP Parameters
voIpProt.SIP.forceConnectionReuse
When disabled (recommended), the system uses an ephemeral source port for outgoing SIP messages.
When enabled, the system uses the active SIP listening port as the source port (5060 or 5061, depending on the negotiated SIP transport protocol in use). This can be useful to establish correct operation with remote SIP peer devices, which require that the source port match the contact port in SIP messages.
0 (default)
1
voIpProt.SIP.proxyServer
The IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SIP proxy server. If you don't set this, the registrar server address is used. If you also leave voIpProt.SIP.registrarServer blank, there is no SIP proxy server.
SIP signaling by default is sent to ports 5060 (TCP) and 5061 (TLS) on the proxy server.
The syntax for this is the same as voIpProt.SIP.registrarServer.
String (0-255)
voIpProt.SIP.registrarServer
The IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SIP registrar server. If registering a remote system with an edge server, use that server's FQDN.
SIP signaling by default is sent to ports 5060 (TCP) and 5061 (TLS) on the registrar server.
Enter the address and port using the following format: IP_Address:Port.
The IP_Address can be an IPv4 address or an FQDN (e.g., servername.company.com:6050).
String (0-255)
voIpProt.SIP.registrarServerType
Specifies the type of SIP registrar server you're using.
unknown
voIpProt.SIP.serverType
Specifies whether to automatically or manually set the SIP server's IP address.
If set to "Auto", you don't have to set voIpProt.SIP.transport, voIpProt.SIP.registrarServer, or voIpProt.SIP.proxyServer.
Specify (default)
Auto
voIpProt.SIP.transport
Sets the protocol your system uses for SIP signaling (your SIP network determines which protocol is required).
Auto (default) - Enables automatic negotiation of protocols in the following order: TLS, TCP, and
UDP. This is the recommended setting for most environments.
TLS - Provides secure SIP signaling. TLS is available only when your system is registered with a SIP server that supports it. If you set this, your system ignores TCP/UDP port 5060.
TCP - Provides reliable transport via TCP.
UDP - Provides best-effort transport via UDP.

VoIP Parameters
voIpProt.SIP.auth.userId
Specifices the username for connecting your system with a SIP registrar server (e.g., marySmith). If the SIP proxy requires authentication, this parameter and voIpProt.SIP.auth.password cannot be blank.
String
voIpProt.SIP.userName
Specifies the SIP address or name of the system (e.g., [email protected]).
If you leave this blank, the system IP address is used for authentication.
String
${sip_alias} - RealPresence Resource Manager accepts this value to automatically configure the parameter.
