Bridges represent a connection from the EZ UDM Pro server, cloud-based or on your own network, to the devices that you manage. Additionally, the they provide a local repository for the data and software that your devices use. Instead of retrieving data from a cloud-based repository, local data storage allows network speed access for the devices that you manage instead of the possible inconsistencies in latency and speed that the Internet can introduce.

By default UDM Pro bridges do not require the devices connecting to authenticate. For additional security you may want a device to logon to the bridge the default values for a Polycom device are PLcmSpIp.
