Procedure 2: Gather Network Equipment and Address
Information
IP Services
The IP addresses and network parameters which enable communication between the RMX,
its management application and the conferencing devices are contained in two IP services:
• Management Network (Control Unit)
• Signaling Network (Conferencing Service)
During the First Entry Configuration, the parameters of these two network services are
modified to comply with your local network settings.
Management Network
The Management Network enables communication between the RMX Control Unit and the
RMX Web Client and is used to manage the RMX.
The RMX is shipped with default IP addresses as listed in Table 2-1.
Signaling Network
The Signaling Network is used to configure and manage communications between the RMX
and conferencing devices.
IP Network Services Required Information
When installing an RMX unit, these default IP addresses must be modified to your local
network settings. It is therefore important to obtain the information needed to complete the
Local Network Settings section of the table from your network administrator before
powering up the RMX for the first time.
The network administrator should allocate four IP addresses in the local network for an
MCU with one MPM+ card and up to seven IP addresses for an MCU with up to four
MPM+ cards.
