IP Network Services
Two IP Services are defined for the RMX:
• Management Network
• Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)
Management Network (Primary)
The Management Network is used to control the RMX, mainly via the RMX
Web Client application. The Management Network contains the network
parameters that connect between the RMX and the RMX Web Client.
Management Network parameters include the IP address of the Control
Unit. This IP address can be used by the administrator or service
personnel to connect to the Control Unit should the RMX become
corrupted or inaccessible. For more information, see Appendix G,
”Alternate Management Network” on page G-1.
During First Time Power-up, the Management Network parameters can be
set either via a USB key or by using a cable to create a private network. For
more information, see the RMX 2000 Getting Started Guide, "Procedure 3:
First-time Power-up and Connection to MCU” on page 2-9.
Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)
The Default IP Service (Conferencing Service) is used to configure and
manage communications between the RMX and conferencing devices
such as endpoints, gatekeepers, SIP servers, etc.
The Default IP Service contains parameters for:
•Signaling Host IP Address
• MPM boards (media processors)
• External conferencing devices
Calls from all external IP entities are made to the Signaling Host, which
initiates call set-up and assigns the call to the appropriate MPM board.
Conferencing related definitions such as environment (H.323 or SIP) are
also defined in this service.
