DMA Getting Started Guide
6Polycom, Inc.
7On the Security Configuration page, select the unsecured access
methods you want to enable and deselect the ones you want to disable.
Or select High security to disable all those listed.
8Click Done.
The utility confirms that the configuration file was created and returns
you to the initial menu.
9Verify that the initial menu now states that The USB stick is set to apply
system parameters.
10 Close the program.
11 In your system tray, click Safely Remove Hardware and select Safely
Remove USB Mass Storage Device. When a message tells you it’s safe to
do so, disconnect the USB memory stick from the PC.
12 Make sure that both servers are off.
13 If you need to replace the system software on the server(s) with a
different version, turn on the first (or only) server (the one you want
configured as Node 1) and insert the system installation disk for that
version. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
The Polycom DMA system software is already installed on the server(s), so the
system installation disk isn’t needed to set up a new system. Using it overwrites the
same software already on the server and needlessly lengthens the setup process.
Put the disk away in a safe place in case it’s ever needed to restore the system.

Polycom®DMA™System Server Setup
Polycom, Inc. 7
14 On the first (or only) server (the one you want configured as Node 1),
insert the USB stick into a USB port and boot (or reboot) the server. Leave
the second server off.
If you’re replacing the system software, the server boots from the DVD,
and the installation commences. About 15-20 minutes later, the DVD ejects
and the server reboots.
If you’re not replacing the system software (or if you are, after the reboot),
the server reads its network and system parameters from the USB stick
and applies them.
15 Wait for the front panel LCD to display DMA Ready. Then disconnect
the USB stick and if applicable, remove the disk. If you’re installing a
single-node system, skip to step 17.
16 If you’re installing a two-node cluster, turn on the second server
(Node 2). If you’re replacing the system software, insert the Polycom
DMA system installation disk into the DVD drive, turn off the server, and
turn it back on.
If you’re replacing the system software, the server boots from the DVD,
and the installation commences. About 15-20 minutes later, the DVD ejects
and the server reboots.
If you’re not replacing the system software (or if you are, after the reboot),
the server detects and gets its configuration settings from Node 1, and
joins the cluster. When done, both servers’ LCDs display DMA Clustered.
17 On a PC with network access to the Polycom DMA system, point your
browser to the system’s virtual host name or IP address and log in with
user ID
admin and password admin .

Alternate Procedure: Configure the Polycom DMA System
Server(s) Without Using the USB Stick
If for some reason you don’t have or can’t use the Polycom DMA USB
Configuration Utility on the USB memory stick, the following procedure
enables you to complete the initial setup using only a laptop PC and an
Ethernet cable.
This is possible because Polycom DMA system servers are shipped with
default network settings that you can use to connect to the system. The settings
are:
IP address:
192.168.1.101
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
To configure the Polycom DMA system server(s) using a laptop PC
1Follow the unpack and install procedure (page 3) through step 7. Do not
connect the server(s) to the enterprise network.
2Configure the network settings on your laptop to put it on the same
network segment as the Polycom DMA system server(s) (see the server’s
default settings above). For instance, you can use the following settings:
IP address:
192.168.1.20
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
192.168.1.1
3Connect an Ethernet cable between your laptop and the GB 1 interface of
the first (or only) server (the one you want configured as Node 1) .
You can use the cable that will later connect the server to the switch
(enterprise network). Be sure you connect to the server’s GB 1 interface,
not the GB 2 interface.
4On the laptop, point your browser to
http://192.168.1.101 (if a
security certificate warning appears, ignore it) and log in with user ID
admin and password admin .
The Polycom DMA system’s management interface appears, displaying
the Dashboard.
5Go to Configuration > System > Network, enter the network values from
the First-Time Setup Worksheet, and click Update. When asked to
confirm restarting the system, click Yes.
The system begins to reboot.

The reboot process takes about three minutes. When it’s finished, the front
panel LCD displays DMA Ready.
7From a PC with network access to the Polycom DMA system, point your
browser to the system’s virtual host name or IP address and log in with
user ID
admin and password admin .
8Go to Configuration > System > System Time and do the following:
aSelect the correct System time zone for your location.
bLeave Auto Adjust For Daylight Savings checked (deselecting this
may cause problems, especially with NTP servers).
cUnder NTP servers, enter the IP addresses (or domain names) for the
time servers from the First-Time Setup Worksheet.
We strongly recommend specifying at least one and preferably three
time servers. Use NTP stratum 3 quality time servers, if possible.
dClick Update. When asked to confirm restarting the system, click Yes.
The system begins to reboot. The process takes about three minutes. When
it’s finished, the front panel LCD displays DMA Ready.
9Log back into the system and go to Configuration > System > Security
Configuration.
10 Either select one or more unsecured access methods to enable or select
Maximum security. Click Update.
Depending on the settings you made, the system may need to restart. If so,
you’re asked to confirm. Click Yes.
If the system needs to reboot, it does so. The process takes about three
minutes. When it’s finished, the front panel LCD displays DMA Ready.
11 If you’re installing a two-node cluster, verify that Node 2 is off and do the
following:
aConnect the GB 1 Ethernet port of the second server (Node 2) to the
enterprise network.
bConnect one of the provided crossover cables to the GB 2 ports of the
two servers.
cVerify that the first server (Node 1) is running and its front panel LCD
displays DMA Ready. Then turn on the second server (Node 2).
After the second server boots, it detects and gets its configuration
settings from Node 1 and joins the cluster. When done, both servers’
LCDs display DMA Clustered.
12 Log back into the system, if necessary, and complete your system setup.
