Network Services Guidelines

IP Networks

In the Collaboration Server 1500/2000 system management and IP conferencing are performed via a single
LAN port.
In the Collaboration Server 1800 system management and IP conferencing are performed on separate LAN
ports.
Management uses LAN1 and IP network Services use LAN2. When enabling multiple services,
management and the IP network service (1) share LAN1, the second IP network service (2) uses LAN2. The
networks can be separated in Maximum Security Environments (Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000).
In the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000, system management and IP conferencing are
performed via two different LAN ports. The networks can be separated in Maximum Security Environments
(Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000).

ISDN Networks (Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000)

RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 supports one ISDN card with up to 4 E1/T1 PRI lines.
RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 and RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000
support a maximum of two RTM ISDN cards, each providing connection for up to either 7 E1 or 9 T1 PRI
lines.
On the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000, E1 and T1 connections cannot be used
simultaneously.
For more detailed information about Collaboration Server abilities, see the
Server (RMX) Hardware Guides, Hardware Description, Chapter
Card Configuration Modes (Collaboration Server (RMX)
1500/2000/4000 Only)
The media card installed in the system determines the Card Configuration Mode. The Card
Configuration Mode represents different generations of the media card. Each new generation provides
additional functionality, higher video resolutions and higher resource capacity.
Only one Media Card type can be installed in any Collaboration Server, which sets the Card Configuration
Mode for that Collaboration Server:
● MPM Card Configuration Mode – Supported with MPM cards in all RealPresence Collaboration
Server (RMX) 2000 versions prior to Version 7.1.
From Version 7.1, MPM media cards are not supported.
From Version 8.1, MPM+ media cards are not supported.
● MPM+ Card Configuration Mode – Supported from Version 4.0 and up to version 7.8 with MPM+
cards installed in the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 and RealPresence
Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000.
