Configuring Direct Connections to RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX)

Direct connection to the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) is necessary if you want to:

•Modify the MCU’s Factory Default Management Network settings without using the USB key.

•Connect to the MCU’s Alternate Management Network for support purposes.

•Connect to the MCU via a modem.

Direct connections to the MCU are not supported when the MCU is in Ultra Secure Mode.

For more information see "Ultra Secure Mode” on page F-7.

Management Network (Primary)

If you do not want to use the USB key method of modifying the MCU’s Management Network parameters, it is necessary to establish a direct connection between a workstation and the MCU.

Alternate Management Network

The Alternate Management Network enables direct access to the MCU for support purposes.

While being separate from all other networks, it has identical functionality to the Management Network.

Support personnel can log in and use it to manage the MCU if a connection to the Management Network cannot be made or if internet access to the host network is blocked by LAN security or a firewall.

The Alternate Management Network cannot be configured and operates according to factory defaults.

The administrator’s Login name, Password, viewing and system permissions on the Alternate Management Network are the same as those on the Management Network.
