Defining a SIP Network Service in the MCU and Installing the Security Certificate

Your RMX 1500/2000/4000 system should be installed according to standard installation procedures. For details, see the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000 Getting Started Guide.

When configuring the Default IP Network Service on first entry, or when modifying the properties of the existing Default IP Network Service, the SIP environment parameters must be set as described in this section.

There are two methods to create and send the security certificate that is required for configuration of the integration of the MCU in the Microsoft environment:

•The CSR method (recommended method for Microsoft Office Communications Server, Wave 13)

•The PFX method (Recommended method for Lync Server, Wave 14)
