Chapter 16-Network Services

On the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500, up to two Network Services, one per LAN port, can be associated with each Media card.

On the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000/RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000, RTM ISDN or RTM LAN can be used for Multiple Services configuration. However, if RTM ISDN is installed and used for Multiple Services configuration, only one Network Service can be associated with the media card to which the RTM ISDN card is attached.

On the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500, when Multiple Network Services option is enabled, the two networks must differ in their subnet masks.

On the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500, LAN redundancy cannot be enabled in parallel to Multiple Networks and the LAN_REDUNDANCY flag must be set to NO when the Multiple Networks option is enabled.

An IP Network Service can be associated with one or several media cards.

If more than one card is associated with the same Network Service, the system routes the calls to the appropriate card according to resource availability.

Participants on different networks can connect to the same conference with full audio, video and content capabilities.

Traffic on one network does not influence or affect the traffic on other networks connected to the same MCU, unless they are connected to the same media card. If one network fails, it will not affect the traffic in the other connected networks, unless they are connected to the same media card and the card fails.

Maximum number of services that can be defined per RMX platform:

Prior to Version 7.8, only one DNS server could be defined for the entire configuration From Version 7.8 onwards, a DNS server can be specified for each IP Network Service and for the RMX Management Network Service.

In the Network Services that do not include the DNS, use the IP addresses of the various devices to define them in the Network Services.
