RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 800s/Virtual Edition Administrator's Guide
Up to three media and signaling networks can be defined for the <Emphasis>RealPresence Collaboration
Server 800s for each media and signaling network connected to the Collaboration Server.
The Management Network is logically and physically separated from the media and signaling networks.
There can be one Management Network defined per Collaboration Server system.
Each conference on the Collaboration Server can host participants from the different IP Network networks
simultaneously.

Guidelines

● Multiple Services system mode is a purchasable option and it is enabled in the MCU license.
● Multiple Services system mode is enabled when the system configuration flag
MULTIPLE_SERVICES is added and set to YES.
● On the <Emphasis>RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, LAN redundancy cannot be enabled
in parallel to Multiple Networks and the LAN_REDUNDANCY flag must be set to NO when the
Multiple Networks option is enabled.
● Participants on different networks can connect to the same conference with full audio, video and
content capabilities.
● Traffic on one network does not influence or affect the traffic on other networks connected to the same
MCU. If one network fails, it will not affect the traffic in the other connected networks.
● The Signaling Host IP Address and the Media IP Address cannot be different.
● Maximum number of services that can be defined per Collaboration Server platform:
Maximum Number of Network Services
● A DNS server can be specified for each IP Network Service and for the Collaboration Server
Management Network Service.
 In the Network Services that do not include the DNS server, use the IP addresses of the various
devices to define them in the Network Services.
● Participants are associated with a Network Service and use it resources as follows:
 Dial-in participants - according to the network used to place the call and connect to the
Collaboration Server.
 Dial-out participant - according to the Network Service selected during the participant properties
definition or during conference definition, according to the Network Service selected as default.

Resource Allocation and Capacity

The Resolution Configuration settings are configured per MCU and affect the resource capacity of the MCU.
They are reflected in the port gauges displayed on the Collaboration Server management application's main
screen.
In Multiple Networks mode, the port gauges do not reflect the resource availability per Network Service.
In Multiple Networks mode, the resources of the Network Services are not split between the network
services but are used per their availability by all Network Services equally.
