Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide

Configuring the RMX 1500/2000/4000 for Microsoft Integration

The MCU is integrated in Microsoft Office Communications Server R2 (Wave 13) and Microsoft Lync Server environments by setting its Transport Type (in the SIP server configuration) to TLS and creating a certificate that is sent to the MCU. This procedure is also required when encryption of SIP signaling is used.

From Version 7.0.x, Microsoft R1 is not supported with MCU systems.

In addition, if the DNS server was not enabled in the Network Management Service on the MCU, it must be enabled for the integration in Microsoft Office Communications Server (R2, Wave 13) and the Lync Server (Wave 14) environments.

Modify the MCU Management Network Service to Include the DNS Server

The Management Network that is defined during first entry setup does not include the definition of the DNS which is mandatory in Microsoft environment and has to be modified.

In Multiple Networks configurations, A DNS server can be specified for each IP Network Service and for the RMX Management Network Service.

To add the definition of the DNS to the Management Network in the MCU:

1Using the Web browser, connect to the MCU.

2In the MCU Management pane, expand the Rarely Used list and click IP Network Services ().

3In the IP Network Services pane, double-click the Management Service . The Management Network Properties - IP dialog box opens.

4Click the DNS tab.

5In the DNS field, select Specify to define the DNS parameters.
