Chapter 17-RMX Administration and Utilities

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 RMX systems must have both .NET Framework and .NET Security Settings running locally. These components are used for communication with the RMX and can only be installed on workstations by users with administrator privileges.

The MSI utility requires the IP addresses of all the RMX 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 RMXs is changed, the ActiveX components must be reinstalled.

Installing ActiveX

To install ActiveX components on all workstations in the network:

1Download 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.

2Create a text file to be used during the installation containing the IP addresses of all the RMX 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.
