Connecting Cables To The Rmx 4000 - Polycom Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 Deployment Manual

Connecting Cables to the RMX 4000

Before plugging network cables in, ensure sure that the network infrastructure containing all the
devices (including the RMX) has two different networks: one for Management; the other for Signaling
& Media. Separation can be achieved either by two physical networks or by two virtual networks
(VLANs).
•
When an NTP Server is used for the RMX Time, the Shelf Management cable must be connected to
the shelf port.
