Polycom RMX 2000 Getting Started Guide

Procedure 2: Modifying the Factory Default Management Network Settings

Management Network Definition

Management Network Definition can be done by two methods:

USB key – The system is shipped with a USB key containing the default IP addresses for the control unit and the shelf management.

These defaults are first modified in the PC and then uploaded to the RMX.

Direct connection – Creating a private network between the Polycom RMX 2000 and the computer and modifying the management network parameters using the Polycom RMX 2000 Web Client.

For more information about the direct connection method, see RMX 2000 Administrators’s Guide, Appendix F: "Configuring Direct Connections to RMX” on page F-1.

Modifying the USB key settings

The USB key contains a text file, lan.cfg, which holds the factory default IP address parameters. These parameters must be modified to your local network settings.

To modify the USB key settings:

1Plug the USB key into the PC.

2Use a text editor program (WordPad, Notepad, etc.) to Open lan.cfg.
