Alternative Network Address Types (Anat) - Polycom RealPresence 4000 Administrator's Manual

Polycom® RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000 Administrator's Guide
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 16-36.

Alternative Network Address Types (ANAT)

When the RMX is configured for IPv4 and IPv6 Addressing, the addition of the sdp-anat option
tag in the SIP Require and SIP Supported headers allows a mixture of IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
to be specified by the Session Description Protocol (SDP).
For more information see "Alternative Network Address Types (ANAT)" on page 1-50.
Management Network (Primary)
The Management Network is used to control the RMX, mainly via the RP Collaboration Server
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 RP
Collaboration Server Web Client. This IP address can be used by the administrator or service
personnel to connect to the Control Unit should the MCU 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 thePolycom® RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/
4000 Getting Started Guide, "Procedure 1: First-time Power-up" on page
"Configuring Direct Connections to the Collaboration Server"on page 1-1.
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.
From Version 8.1, MPM+ media cards are not supported.
Conferencing related definitions such as environment (H.323 or SIP) are also defined in this
service.
Most of the Default IP Service is configured by the Fast Configuration Wizard, which runs
automatically should the following occur:
•
