In addition, PSTN participants can dial the Gateway IVR and can use the MCU or DMA
prefix in the gatekeeper together with the conference ID/endpoint alias as the destination
string to simplify the input. This is one of the methods for PSTN participants to connect to a
virtual Meeting Room on the DMA. For more details, see "PSTN Dial-in Using GK Prefix” on
page 19-9.
Calling a DMA Direct with Automatically Generated Destination Dial Strings
In this configuration, the gateway session initiator enters one of the dial-in numbers
assigned to the gateway profile. This number is truncated by the Collaboration Server
gateway and the truncated digits are replaced by a prefix that corresponds either to the
DMA prefix in the Gatekeeper.

Calling the DMA via Gateway IVR
Audio PSTN/ISDN calls can be routed to Polycom DMA 7000 via the Collaboration Server.
ISDN Video endpoints connect using their audio channels (but consume video resources).
The DMA 7000 enables load balancing and the distribution of multipoint calls on up to 10
Polycom Collaboration Server media servers.
