Chapter 16-IP Network Services
Polycom, Inc. 16-31
• Participants are associated with a Network Service and use its resources as follows:
—Dial-in participants - according to the network used to place the call and connect to
the Collaboration Server.
—Dial-out participant - according to the Network Service selected during the
participant properties definition or during conference definition, according to the
Network Service selected as default.
• Recording Links use the default Network Service to connect to conferences, therefore
the recording system must be defined on the default network to enable the recording.

Resource Allocation and Capacity

The Video and Voice Port usage are reflected in the port gauges displayed on the
Collaboration Server management application’s main screen. However, the port gauges do
not reflect the resource availability per Network Service.
Flexible Resource Allocation Mode
On the Polycom RMX 1800 system with two Network Services defined, the resources of the
two Network Services are not split between the network services. In such a case, resources
are used per their availability by both Network Services equally.
Using Multiple Network Service
Multiple Services is enabled by licence and must be purchased for the system.
Follow these steps to use Multiple Network Service:
1Enable Multiple Services and disable LAN Redundancy.
2Add the required IP Network Services to accommodate the networks connected to the
Collaboration Server unit.
3Select a Network Service to act as default for dial out calls for which the Network
Service was not selected.
Place several calls and run conferences to ensure that the system is configured correctly.
