ActiveX Bypass
At sites that, for security reasons, do not permit Microsoft® ActiveX® to be installed,
the MSI (Windows Installer File) utility can be used to install .NET Framework and
.NET Security Settings components on workstations throughout the network.
All workstation that connect to Collaboration Server systems must have both.NET
Framework and .NET Security Settings running locally. These components are used for
communication with the Collaboration Server and can only be installed on
workstations by users with administrator privileges.
The MSI utility requires the IP addresses of all the Collaboration Server systems (both
control unit and Shelf Management IP addresses) that each workstation is to connect to.
If the IP address of the any of the target Collaboration Servers is changed, the ActiveX
components must be reinstalled.
Installing ActiveX
To install ActiveX components on all workstations in the network:
1 Download the MSI file EMA.ClassLoaderInstaller.msi from the Polycom Resource
Center.
The MSI file contains installation scripts for both .NET Framework and .NET Security
Settings.
2 Create a text file to be used during the installation containing the IP addresses of all the
Collaboration Server systems (both control unit and Shelf Management IP addresses)
that each workstation in the network is to connect to.
The file must be named url_list.txt and must be saved in the same folder as the
downloaded MSI file.
3 Install the ActiveX components on all workstations on the network that connect to
Collaboration Server systems.
The installation is done by the network administrator using a 3rd party network
software installation utility and is transparent to all other users.
Resetting the Collaboration Server
To restart the MCU instance:
1 Click Start > Programs.
