Getting Started with ITP
Topics:
RealPresence OTX Studio Monitor Lifts
Obtaining the Network Parameters
The RealPresence Immersive Studio, RealPresence Immersive Studio Flex, and RealPresence OTX
Studio systems are state-of-the-art visual collaboration tools. With crisp, clean video and crystal-clear
sound, RealPresence ITP systems provide natural video conferencing interaction using the most robust
video communications technology.
If your organization has signed on for Video Network Operations Center (VNOC) services, the VNOC will
handle many telepresence conferencing tasks for you.
RealPresence OTX Studio Monitor Lifts
You can raise or lower RealPresence OTX Studio table monitor lifts for optimum conference viewing. The
monitor lifts are partially automated and can also be manually controlled.
Automatically Controlling Monitor Lifts
All three monitors automatically raise or lower in the following circumstances:
When content is started, the monitors rise.
When content is used during a call and the call ends, the monitors lower.
When the system powers on or during a restart, the monitors lower. During initial start-up and
restarts, all monitor controls are locked.
Manually Controlling Monitor Lifts
After initial start-up, the individual buttons in the RealPresence OTX Studio table toggle the state of the
associated lift. Full extension or retraction takes about 15 seconds. If you use the buttons while the
monitors are moving, the direction the monitors are traveling reverses. The monitors will only fully stop in
the middle of travel during a mechanical collision or a system power failure.
Control the Monitor Lifts from the Web Interface
You can raise or lower RealPresence OTX Studio table monitor lifts for optimum conference viewing. You
can raise or lower all three monitors from the web interface.
Procedure
1. Go to Utilities > Tools > OTX Setup and select Up or Down.

Using a Provisioning Service
Topics:
Enable a Provisioning Service
Configure a Provisioning Service
Set Up the Distributed Media Service
A provisioning service prepares and equips your network to provide services to its users.
Enable a Provisioning Service
You must register the RealPresence ITP system with the Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager
system to enable a provisioning service.
To register the RealPresence ITP system with the Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system,
enter the registration information and attempt to register by going to Admin Settings in the RealPresence
ITP system web interface. Multiple RealPresence ITP systems can be registered to a single user.
Procedure
1. Go to Admin Settings > Servers > Provisioning Service.
2. Select the Enable Provisioning setting.
3. Enter the Domain, User Name, Password, and Server Address for automatic provisioning.
4. Select Register or Update.
The system tries to register with the Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system using
NTLM authentication.
Configure a Provisioning Service
After enabling a provisioning service, you will now configure the settings for automatic provisioning.
If automatic provisioning is enabled but the system does not register successfully with the provisioning
service, you might need to change the Domain, User Name, Password, or Server Address used for
registration. For example, users might be required to periodically reset passwords used to log into the
network from a computer. If such a network password is also used as the provisioning service password,
you must update it on the RealPresence ITP system, too.
To avoid unintentionally locking a user out of network access in this case, RealPresence ITP systems will
not automatically retry registration until you update the settings and register manually on the Provisioning
Service page.
Procedure
1. Go to Admin Settings > Servers > Provisioning Service.
2. Configure these settings.

Configuring General System Settings
Topics:
Name the System
Set the Date and Time
Managing Favorites Contacts and Groups
Setting Up Speed Dial
This section provides information on how to configure general system settings for RealPresence ITP :
Name the System
The System Name screen enables you to name your system and your center, left, and right server
names. When naming the sites, keep the following in mind:
Do not use site names which are the same or similar (site names with a trailing numeral digit, for
instance) for Group Series codecs that are part of RealPresence ITP room systems and for
individual endpoints that are not part of RealPresence ITP room systems.
For individual endpoints, disconnected from a telepresence conference, use the same or similar
names as each other and as RealPresence ITP systems, then Polycom MLA sometimes mistakenly
identifies the individual endpoints as Immersive Studio, Immersive Studio Flex, OTX Studio, or ITP
systems.
The TYPE OF ITP field enables Polycom Multipoint Layout Application to find the correct
RealPresence ITP room, when the RealPresence ITP room is part of a telepresence conference
participants list, but disconnected from the conference.
Procedure
1. Go to Admin Settings > General Settings > System Settings > System Name.
The first character of a System Name must be a letter or a number. The System Name cannot
begin with the dollar sign ($) or underscore (_) character.
2. In the System Name field, enter a name as described below.
3. Enter the <SiteName>[TYPE OF ITP].
“[TYPE OF ITP]” is optional and specifies the type of ITP room: “RIS” for RealPresence Immersive
Studio
When you assign a system name for the main codec, unique identities for the left and right codecs
are automatically generated. The naming convention is as follows.
<SiteName>[TYPE OF ITP]_M_N where:
M = number of systems (for RealPresence Immersive Studio, this value is 3)
N = 1 for the primary system, 2 for the left system, and 3 for the right system
The system name is displayed on the screen for the far site when you are in a call.
4. Click Save.
