• Only one DNS server can be defined for the entire configuration. It is
recommended to define it in one of the IP Network Services (signaling) and not
the Management Network to enable dialing in/out using names.
— In the Network Services that do not include the DNS, use the IP addresses of
the various devices to define them in the Network Services.
• Participants are associated with a Network Service and use it resources as follows:
— Dial-in participants - according to the network used to place the call and
connect to the RMX.
— Dial-out participant - according to the Network Service selected during the
participant properties definition by the RMX administrator or during
conference definition, according to the Network Service selected as default by
the RMX administrator.
Resource Allocation and Capacity
The Video/Voice Port Configuration and the Resolution Configuration settings are
configured per MCU and affect the resource capacity of the MCU. They are reflected in
the port gauges displayed on the RMX management application’s main screen. In
Multiple Networks mode, the overall resources as configured in the Video/Voice Port
Configuration are divided between the Network Services. However, the port gauges do
not reflect the resource availability per Network Service.
Fixed and Flexible Resource Allocation Mode
On RMX 2000/4000 resources are divided between services according to the number of
media cards associated with each service and the card assembly type (for example,
MPM+40 vs. MPM+80). If two identical media cards are installed in the system and
each card is assigned to a different Network Service, the resources are split between the
services.
If two cards are installed but each card is of different assembly type, the resources are
allocated according to the card capacity ratio. For example, in a system with one
MPM+40 and one MPM+80, the capacity ratio is 1 to 2, therefore a third of the
resources will be assigned to the network service associated with MPM+40 and two
thirds will be assigned to the Network Service associated with MPM+80.
On RMX 1500 and RMX 2000/4000 with two Network Services associated with one
media card, the resources of the two Network Services associated with one media card
are not split between the network services. In such a case, resources are used per their
availability by both Network Services equally.
On RMX 2000, if RTM ISDN is installed and used for Multiple Services configuration,
only one Network Service can be defined per media card.
In Fixed Resource Allocation Mode if the resources cannot be divided into whole
numbers, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number, assigning that
resource to the Network Service with the higher capacity (i.e. more media cards or
media cards with higher capacity due to a different card assembly).
First Time Installation and Configuration
First Time Installation and Configuration of the RMX 1500/2000/4000 consists of the
following procedures:
1 Preparations:
— Gather Network Equipment and Address Information - get the information
needed for integrating the RMX into the local network for each of the
networks that will be connected to the RMX unit. For a list of required
