Polycom® RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s Getting Started Guide

Management Network

The Management Network enables communication between the RealPresence Collaboration
Server 800s and the Collaboration Server Web Client and is used to manage the MCU.
The Collaboration Server is shipped with default IP addresses as listed in Table 2-1.
Management Network Definition
The configuration of the Management Network can be done by two methods:
•
•
DHCP is not supported in the Management Network.

Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)

The Default IP Service (Conferencing Service) is used to configure and manage
communications between the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s and conferencing
devices.

IP Network Services Required Information

When installing the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, these default IP addresses must
be modified to your local network settings. Therefore it is important that before powering
up the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s for the first time, that you obtain the
information needed to complete the Local Network Settings section of the table from your
network administrator.
Conferencing (Media and signaling) and Management networks can be logically separated on the
Collaboration Server to provide enhanced security. Up to three media and signaling networks can
be defined. For more information see "Multiple Networks" in the Polycom® RealPresence
Collaboration Server 800s Administrator's Guide.
For each MCU, an IP address must be allocated in the local network for the:
•
•
Example:
The network administrator should allocate Two IP addresses in the local network for a
RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s: Control Unit and Signaling Host. Since the
signaling and media are transferred on the same network, the same IP address is allocated
to both.
2-2
USB Memory Stick (recommended method) – The system is shipped with a USB
Memory Stick containing the default IP addresses for the Control Unit.
These IP addresses are first modified in the administrator's PC and then uploaded to
the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s.
Direct connection – Creating a private network between the RealPresence
Collaboration Server 800s and the computer and modifying the management network
parameters using Fast Configuration Wizard in the Collaboration Server Web Client.
