About the Global Address Book
The Global Address Book provides real-time directory services to let
your system dial other ViewStation systems on your network, and
other videoconferencing systems. The Global Address Book
performs the following:
❑
Register systems automatically to the GAB server when they are
powered up.
❑
Manage Address Book entries (dynamic and static addresses).
❑
Manage multiple Address Books.
❑
Support in-country and international dialing rules.
❑
Support ISDN and IP dialing.
The Global Address Book is part of the Global Management System
(GMS). The GMS enables widespread deployment of conferencing
systems by providing easy-to-use, centralized management,
monitoring, and directory services to geographically distributed
Polycom conferencing systems. For more information about the
GMS, refer to the Integrators’ Reference Manual for ViewStation EX,
ViewStation FX, and VS4000.
