●IPv6 & IPv4
When IPv4 is selected, IPv6 fields are not displayed and conversely when IPv6 is selected, IPv4 fields are
not displayed. When IPv6 & IPv4 is selected both IPv6 and IPv4 fields are displayed.
For the purposes of comprehensive documentation, all screen captures in this chapter show the dialog
boxes as displayed with IPv6 & IPv4 selected.
Management Network (Primary)
The Management Network is used to control the Collaboration Server, mainly via the 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 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.
In the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, the Management Network parameters can be set either via
a USB memory stick or by using a cable to create a private network, during First Time Power-up. For more
information, see thePolycom® RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s / Virtual Edition Getting Started
Guide, Installing the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s and Appendix G - Configuring Direct
Connections to the Collaboration Server.
In the RealPresence Collaboration Server Virtual Edition with DHCP available, the Management Network
parameters are automatically set during First Time Power-up and whenever the Collaboration Server is
restarted. In the RealPresence Collaboration Server Virtual Edition without DHCP available, the
Management Network properties must be set manually. For more information, see the Polycom®
RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s / Virtual Edition Getting Started Guide, Manual IP Configuration.
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.
On the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, 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.
On the RealPresence Collaboration Server Virtual Edition with DHCP available, the Default IP Service
parameters are automatically set during First Time Power-up and whenever the Collaboration Server is
restarted. On the RealPresence Collaboration Server Virtual Edition without DHCP available, the Default IP
Service properties must be set manually. For more information, see the Polycom® RealPresence
Collaboration Server 800s / Virtual Edition Getting Started Guide, Manual IP Configuration.
