About the Polycom RMX System

The Polycom RMX 1500/2000/4000 Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) is a high performance,
scalable, IP-network (H.323 and SIP) and ISDN/PSTN solution that provides the user with
feature-rich and easy-to-use multipoint voice and video conferencing.
The RMX 1500/2000/4000 unit can be controlled via the LAN, the RMX Web Client
application, Internet Explorer installed on the user’s workstation, or the RMX Manager
application. The RMX Manager can control several RMX units (RealPresence Collaboration
Server (RMX) 1500, RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 and RealPresence
Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000). For more information about the RMX Manager, see
"RMX Manager Application” on page 20-1.
