IP Network Services

Two IP Services are defined for the RMX:
•
•
Dial in, dial out connections and RMX management are supported within the following IP
addressing environments:
•
•
•
When IPv4 is selected, IPv6 fields are not displayed and conversely when IPv6 is selected,
IPv4 fields are not displayed. When IPv6 & IPv4 is selected both IPv6 and IPv4 fields are
displayed.
For the purposes of comprehensive documentation, all screen captures in this chapter show
the dialog boxes as displayed with IPv6 & IPv4 selected.
For more information see "Using IPv6 Networking Addresses for RMX Internal and External
Entities" on page 14-29.

Management Network (Primary)

The Management Network is used to control the RMX, mainly via the RMX Web Client
application. The Management Network contains the network parameters, such as the IP
address of the Control Unit, needed for connection between the RMX and the RMX Web
Client. This IP address can be used by the administrator or service personnel to connect to
the Control Unit should the RMX become corrupted or inaccessible.
During First Time Power-up, the Management Network parameters can be set either via a USB
key or by using a cable to create a private network.
For more information, see the RMX 1500/2000/4000 Getting Started Guide, "Modifying the
Factory Default Management Network Settings on the USB Key" on page
this manual, "Configuring Direct Connections to RMX" on page G-1.

Default IP Service (Conferencing Service)

The Default IP Service (Conferencing Service) is used to configure and manage
communications between the RMX and conferencing devices such as endpoints,
gatekeepers, SIP servers, etc.
The Default IP Service contains parameters for:
•
•
•
Calls from all external IP entities are made to the Signaling Host, which initiates call set-up
and assigns the call to the appropriate MPM / MPM+ / MPMx media card.
From Version 7.1, MPM media cards are not supported.
