Polycom RMX 2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide

Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)

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

The Default IP Service contains parameters for:

•Signaling Host IP Address

•MPM (RMX 2000) and MPM+ boards (media processors)

•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 MPM / MPM+ board.

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

Most of the Default IP Service is configured by the Fast Configuration Wizard, which runs automatically should the following occur:

•First time power-up.

•Deletion of the Default IP Service, followed by a system reset.

For more information, see the RMX 2000/4000 Getting Started Guide, "Procedure 3: First-timePower-up and Connection to MCU” on page 2-9.

Changes made to any of these parameters only take effect when the RMX unit is reset. An Active Alarm is created when changes made to the system have not yet been implemented and the MCU must be reset.

Modifying the Management Network

The Management Network parameters need to be modified if you want to:

•Connect directly to the RMX from a workstation

•Modify routes

•Modify DNS information
