Connecting to the RMX in ICE Environment

The dialing methods that can be used by an endpoint to connect to
another endpoint depends on the ICE environment: Local, Remote or
Federation.
Figure 9 ICE Environment
Local connection - a connection between the RMX and endpoints that reside
within the same organization. For example, an endpoint in Zone A calls
the RMX in Zone A.
Branch Office - a connection between an endpoint that is behind a firewall
and the RMX that reside in the same zone. The user in the Branch Office
can also place and receive calls from other enterprises and remote users.
For example, Enterprise A also contains a branch office, which in this
example is a Polycom HDX user who is behind more than one firewall.
Remote - a connection between RMX that resides within the organization
and an endpoint that resides outside of the organization (on a WAN). For
example, an endpoint on the internet that calls the RMX in Zone A. In
such a case, the call has to traverse at least one firewall.
Federation - a connection between RMX that resides within one
organization and an endpoint that resides within another organization.
For example, an endpoint in Zone A calls the RMX in Zone B. The call has
to traverse two or more firewalls.
Dialing Methods
The ICE protocol enables remote and federation connections using the
registered user name for dialing. The endpoint connects to the RMX by
entering the RMX registered user name in the following format:
[RMX registered user name]@[OCS/Lync server domain name]
For example: rmx111@ilsnd.vsg.local
