Use a provisioning service to deploy enterprise-wide configurations to your systems.
You can use a provisioning service, such as Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager, to perform the
following actions with your system:
▪ Automatically configure settings
▪ Automatically update software
Remember the following when you register your system to a provisioning service:
▪ Provisioned settings are read-only in the system web interface. Settings that are dependent on
provisioned values are read-only or unavailable.
▪ The system automatically checks for and runs software updates every time it restarts and at an
interval set by the service.
▪ If a registered system fails to detect the service when it restarts or checks for updates, an alert
displays on
System Status
.
▪ If the system loses registration with the service, it continues to use the most recent configuration it
received.
Note:
To maintain call connection, you can't configure provisioning settings during a call.

Register the System with a Provisioning Service
Before you can provision a system, you must register it with a provisioning service.
Note:
Make sure to configure your provisioning server (for example, RealPresence Resource Manager)
ahead of time so that it recognizes and works with your endpoint.
For information on how to provision your system with RealPresence Resource Manager, see the
