• The redundant default port on any RMX is LAN 1.
• When multiple networks are enabled and the RTM LAN ports are not
assigned to any network, then the LAN1 port is redundant by
default.
• On the RMX 1500, LAN ports can used as follows:
— LAN 2 port is used for standard communications
— LAN 1 port can be used to define a second Network Service or
used for LAN Redundancy
LAN Redundancy must be configured using the following steps:
1
On the RMX 2000, insert a RTM LAN card. For more information see
the Polycom RMX 2000 Hardware Guide, "Replacing the RTM LAN" on
page 1-43.
2
Connect the LAN Cable to LAN 1 port on the RMX 1500 RTM IP or
LAN 1 port on the RMX 2000/4000 RTM LAN.
3 In the Setup> System Configuration > System Flags dialog box, add
the following flags:
— LAN_REDUNDANCY (YES)
— In case of multiple services implementation add:
MULTIPLE_SERVICE (YES)
When the MULTIPLE_SERVICE flag is enabled, in addition to media streaming,
signalling is also redundant.
— On the RMX 2000, add the flag: RMX2000_RTM_LAN (YES) to
activate the installed RTM LAN card
It is important to note LAN_REDUNDANCY flag values are ignored when
MULTIPLE_SERVICE flag is enabled.
4
Optional. Reset the RMX. This step is required if you have changed
any flag value or added flags. On the RMX 2000, you must reset the
RMX since the RMX2000_RTM_LAN flag must be added and set to
YES.
