Deployment Guide for the Polycom CX700 IP Phone

Although the actual operations of these two providers are closely related, they
appear independent to the time service. By default, when a computer that is
running Windows Server 2003 is connected to a network, it is configured as an
NTP client.
The Polycom CX700 phone searches for a NTP server in DNS as follows:
•
NTP SRV record (UDP port 123)
—
_ntp._udp.<SIP domain> pointing to NTP server
If it cannot find the NTP SRV record, it will try to use windows.com as an NTP
server:
•
NTP A record
—
time.windows.com

Server Security Framework Overview
The following section summarizes the elements that form the security
framework for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2. It is helpful
to understand how these elements work together when you deploy the
Polycom CX700 phone in your organization.
These security elements are as follows:
•
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) provides a single trusted,
back-end repository for user accounts and network resources.
•
PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) uses certificates that are issued by trusted
CAs (certificate authorities) to authenticate servers and to help ensure data
integrity.
