Polycom 1500/1800/2000/4000 Management Network Primary, Default IP Service Conferencing Service

IP Network Services

The IP Network Services are configured by selecting this option in the RMX Management pane of the Collaboration Server Web Client/RMX Manager application.

Management Network (Primary)

The Management Network is used to connect between the Collaboration Server and the management applications (Collaboration Server Web Client or RMX Manager application) and enable these applications to control the MCU. It contains the network parameters, such as the IP address of the MCU’s control unit, required for connection between the Collaboration Server and the management applications. You can use this IP address to connect to the control unit should the MCU become corrupted or inaccessible.

During First Time Power-up, the Management Network parameters can be set either via a USB key or by using a cable to create a private network. For more information, see First Entry Power-up and Configuration and Appendix G - Configuring Direct Connections to the Collaboration Server in the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) Getting Started Guide.

Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)

The Default IP Service (Conferencing Service) is used to configure and manage communications between the Collaboration Server and conferencing devices such as endpoints, gatekeepers, SIP servers, etc.

The Default IP Service contains parameters for:

●Signaling Host IP Address

●External conferencing devices

Calls from all external IP entities are made to the Signaling Host, which initiates call set-up and assigns the call to the appropriate media card.

Conferencing related definitions such as environment (H.323 or SIP) are also defined in this service.
