Products Tested with this Release

RealPresence Media Suite 2.5 systems are tested extensively with a wide range of products. The

following list is not a complete inventory of compatible equipment. It indicates the products that have been

tested for compatibility with this release.

Note: Supported products

You are encouraged to upgrade all your Polycom systems with the latest software before contacting Polycom support to ensure the issue has not already been addressed by vendor software updates. Go to Polycom Support Service Policies to find the current Polycom Interoperability Matrix.

Video conferencing systems use a variety of algorithms to compress audio and video. In a call between

two systems, each end transmits audio and video using algorithms supported by the other end. In

some cases, a system may transmit a different algorithm than it receives. This process occurs

because each system independently selects the optimum algorithms for a particular call, and different

products may make different selections. This process should not affect the quality of the call.

Installation and Upgrade Notes

Caution: All configuration files must be backed up before upgrade

Make sure all configuration files are backed up before upgrade.

RealPresence Media Suite 2.5 supports the following upgrade path:

● v1.6 > v1.7HF > v1.8 > v2.0 > v2.1 > v2.5

● v1.6.1 > v1.7HF > v1.8 > v2.0 > v2.1 > v2.5

● v1.7 > v1.7HF > v1.8 > v2.0 > v2.1 > v2.5

● v1.8 > v2.0 > v2.1 > v2.5

● v2.0 > v2.1 > v2.5

● v2.1 > v2.5

RealPresence Media Suite 2.0 makes significant optimization for system structure and database, so v1.x

cannot upgrade to v2.5 directly. The customer will have to upgrade to each version in order to get to v2.5.

After upgrading to v2.5, the administrator is required to change the default console password when log

into the admin portal. Please log into the system through SSH (default console user name and password

are polycom\polycom) and set a new console password.

The backup configuration files can only be used by the version it was backed up on. So version 2.1

configuration back up file can only be used on a Version 2.1 system. Once the system is upgraded,

backup the configuration file.
