IPv6 Guidelines
• Internet Explorer 7™ is required for the RP Collaboration Server Web Client and RMX
Manager to connect to the Collaboration Server using IPv6.
• IPv6 is supported with MPM+ and MPMx media cards only.
• The default IP address version is IPv4.
• The IP address field in the Address Book entry for a defined participant can be either IPv4
or IPv6. A participant with an IPv4 address cannot be added to an ongoing conference
while the Collaboration Server is in IPv6 mode nor can a participant with an IPv6
address be added while the Collaboration Server is in IPv4 mode.
An error message, Bad IP address version, is displayed and the New Participant dialog box
remains open so that the participant’s address can be entered in the correct format.
• Participants that do not use the same IP address version as the Collaboration Server in
ongoing conferences launched from Meeting Rooms, Reservations and Conference
Templates, and are disconnected. An error message, Bad IP address version, is displayed.
• IP Security Protocols (IPSec) are not supported.
