Connecting the Cables to the MCU
>> Connect the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s system server to the network:
a Connect a LAN cable between the leftmost Ethernet port and the enterprise
network. This is the eth0 Management Network interface, which must be used for
this purpose.
b Connect the second LAN cable between the second Ethernet port to the network to
be used for signaling and media traffic. This is the eth1 network interface, which
must be used for this purpose.
When LAN redundancy is enabled, LAN 1 is used for both management, media and
signaling network connection.Connect the media and signaling cable to LAN 2 port.
By default this port is used for signaling, but when LAN redundancy is enabled, LAN 2
is the backup of LAN 1 port.
