RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/1800/2000/4000 Getting Started Guide
Polycom®, Inc. 26
Management Network
The Management Network enables communication between the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX)
1500/1800/2000/4000 and the Collaboration Server Web Client and is used to manage the MCU.
The Collaboration Server is shipped with default IP addresses as listed in the
RMX 1500/2000/4000 Network
Equipment and Address Information and RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800 Network Equipment and
Address Information tables
.
Management Network Definition
The configuration of the Management Network can be done by two methods:
● USB Memory Stick (recommended method) – The system is shipped with a USB Memory Stick
containing the default IP addresses for the Control Unit and the shelf management.
These IP addresses are first modified in the administrator’s PC and then uploaded to the
RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/1800/2000/4000.
● Direct connection – Creating a private network between the RealPresence Collaboration Server
(RMX) 1500/1800/2000/4000 and the computer and modifying the management network parameters
using Fast Configuration Wizard in the Collaboration Server Web Client.
For more information, see the Polycom® RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX)
1500/1800/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide, Appendix G - Configuring Direct Connections to the
Collaboration Server .
DHCP is not supported in the Management Network.
Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)
The Default IP Service (Conferencing Service) is used to configure and manage communications between
the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/1800/2000/4000 and conferencing devices.
IP Network Services Required Information
When installing the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/1800/2000/4000, these default IP
addresses must be modified to your local network settings. Therefore it is important that before powering
up the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/1800/2000/4000 for the first time, that you obtain
the information needed to complete the Local Network Settings section of the table from your network
administrator.
For each MCU, an IP address must be allocated in the local network for the:
● Control Unit
● Signaling Host
● Shelf Management (optional for RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500)
An additional IP address is also required for any type of MPM card installed in the Collaboration Server.
Examples:
Conferencing (Media and signaling) and Management networks can be logically separated on the
Collaboration Server to provide enhanced security. A number of media and signaling networks can
be defined on each MCU. For more information see “Multiple Networks” in the Polycom®
RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/1800/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide.
