Polycom® RMX™ 1800 Administrator’s Guide

Management Network (Primary)
The Management Network is used to control the Collaboration Server, mainly via the RP
Collaboration Server Web Client application. The Management Network contains the network
parameters, such as the IP address of the Control Unit, needed for connection between the
Collaboration Server unit and the RP Collaboration Server Web Client. This IP address can be
used by the administrator or service personnel to connect to the Control Unit should the
MCU become corrupted or inaccessible.
During First Time Power-up, the Management Network parameters can be set either via a USB
memory stick or by using a cable to create a private network.
For more information, see theRMX™ 1800 Getting Started Guide, "Installing the RMX 1800”
on page 2-3 and Appendix G of this manual, "Configuring Direct Connections to the
Collaboration Server” on pageF-1.
Default IP Service (Conferencing Service - Media and signaling)
The Default IP Service (media and signaling) is used to configure and manage communications
between the Collaboration Server and conferencing devices such as endpoints, gatekeepers,
SIP servers, etc.
The Default IP Service contains parameters for:
• Signaling Host IP Address
• External conferencing devices
Calls from all external IP entities are made to the Signaling Host, which initiates call set-up.
Conferencing related definitions such as environment (H.323 or SIP) are also defined in this
service.
Most of the Default IP Service is configured by the Fast Configuration Wizard, which runs
automatically should the following occur:
•First time power-up.
• Deletion of the Default IP Service, followed by a system reset.
For more information, see the RMX™ 1800 Getting Started Guide, "Procedure 1: First-time
Power-up” on page 2-8.
Modifying the Management Network
The Management Network parameters need to be modified if you want to:
• Connect directly to the Collaboration Server from a workstation
• Modify routes
• Modify DNS information
To view or modify the Management Network Service:
1In the RMX Management pane, click the IP Network Services ( ) button.
2In the IP Network Services list pane, double-click the Management Network () entry.
Changes made to any of these parameters only take effect when the Collaboration Server is reset.
An Active Alarm is created when changes made to the system have not yet been implemented and
the MCU must be reset.
