Guidelines - Polycom RMX 1500 Administrator's Manual

Guidelines

• Both Master and Slave MCUs must have the same software version
installed.
• The Users list and Passwords must be the same on both the Master and
Slave MCUs.
• There must be connectivity between the Master and Slave MCUs,
either on the same network or on different networks connected
through routers.
• In the event of failure of the Master MCU the Slave MCU assumes the
role of the Master MCU. The Master/Slave relationship is reversed: the
Slave, now active, remains the Master and the previous Master MCU,
when restarted, assumes the role of Slave MCU.
• No changes to the Slave MCU are permitted while it is functioning as
the Hot Backup. Therefore no ongoing conferences or reservations can
be added manually to the Slave MCU.
• If Hot Backup is disabled, all ongoing conferences and Reservations
backed up on the Slave MCU are automatically deleted.
• Master and Slave initial roles can be reversed only after all ongoing
conferences and Reservations are deleted.
• Changes to the Master MCU that require a System Reset can only be
made after Hot Backup is disabled.
