Multiple Network Services - Polycom RealPresence 4000 Administrator's Manual

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

Multiple Network Services

Media, signaling and management networks can be physically separated on the RMX
system to provide enhanced security. This addresses the requirement in an organization
that different groups of participants be supported on different networks. For example, some
participants may be internal to the organization while others are external.
Up to media and signaling networks can be defined for the RealPresence Collaboration Server
(RMX) 4000, or for the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 and two for the
RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500. Multiple IP Network Services can be defined, up
to two for each media and signaling network connected to the RMX. The networks can be
connected to one or several Media cards in the RMX unit.
The Management Network is logically and physically separated from the media and signaling
networks. There can be one Management Network defined per RMX system.
Each conference on the RMX can host participants from the different IP Network networks
simultaneously.
The following figure shows the network topology with three different media and signaling
networks and one Management network connected to the RealPresence Collaboration Server
(RMX) 4000.
