IP Services

The IP addresses and network parameters which enable communication between the RMX, its management application and the conferencing devices are organized in two IP services:

•Management Network (Control Unit)

•Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)

During the First Entry Configuration, the parameters of these two network services are modified to comply with your local network settings.

Management Network

The Management Network enables communication between the RMX Control Unit and the RMX Web Client and is used to manage the RMX.

The RMX is shipped with default IP addresses as listed in Table 2-1.

Management Network Definition

The definition of the Management Network can be done by two methods:

•USB key (recommended method) – The system is shipped with a USB key containing the default IP addresses for the control unit and the shelf management.

These defaults are first modified in the PC and then uploaded to the RMX.

•Direct connection – Creating a private network between the RMX and the computer and modifying the management network parameters using Fast Configuration Wizard in the RMX Web Client.

For more information, see the RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide, ”Configuring Direct Connections to RMX” on page G-1.

Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)

The Default IP Service (Conferencing Service) is used to configure and manage communications between the RMX and conferencing devices.
