In the following post I'll show you how to choose the adding method when adding a participant on the SMC2.0.
There are several ways to add a site to the SMC2.0:
l Predefining a Participant
l Adding an Auto-Detected Participant
l Adding a Manageable Participant
l Adding an Unmanageable Participant
When adding a participant on the SMC2.0, you can determine the adding mode based on the site model, version and deployment mode.
1. Determine whether a participant is manageable based on the model and version of the participant endpoint. For details, see product documentation.
2. For a manageable participant, further determine its adding method based on its deployment mode.
l If the SMC2.0 is deployed before the participant, predefine the participant on the SMC2.0.
l If the participant is deployed before the SMC2.0, set the network management address on the participant endpoint and enable the SMC2.0 to auto-detect the participant.
l If the participant needs to be added to the SMC2.0 because of a site upgrade, add the participant as a manageable participant to the SMC2.0.
3. For an unmanageable participant, the participant can be added to the SMC2.0 only in unmanageable mode.
l A TE Desktop & TE Mobile participant can be added to the SMC2.0 only as an unmanageable SIP participant.
l A HUAWEI TP3106-70/TP3206-55 participant can be added to the SMC2.0 as an unmanageable SIP or H.323 participant.
For details about how to add a participant, see Configuring a Participant.
