IP Network Services Required Information
When installing an RMX unit, these default IP addresses must be
modified to your local network settings. Therefore it is important that
before powering the RMX unit up for the first time, that you obtain the
information needed to complete the Local Network Settings
section of the table from your network administrator.
For each RMX , an IP address must be allocated in the local network for the:
• Control Unit
• Signaling Host
• Shelf Management (optional for RMX 1500)
An additional IP address is also required for each MPM card installed in
the RMX.
Examples:
• RMX 1500 - the network administrator should allocate:
— Three IP addresses in the local network for an MCU with a
MPMx card.
— Four IP addresses in the local network for an MCU with a MPMx
card if a separate Shelf Management IP Address is required.
• RMX 2000 - the network administrator should allocate four IP
addresses in the local network for an MCU with one MPM/MPM+/
MPMx card and five IP addresses for an MCU with two MPM/
MPM+/MPMx cards.
• RMX 4000 - the network administrator should allocate four IP
addresses in the local network for an MCU with one MPM+/MPMx
card and up to seven IP addresses for an MCU with up to four
MPM+/MPMx cards.
Media, signaling and Management networks can be physically separated on the
RMX system to provide enhanced security. Up to eight media and signaling
networks can be defined for RMX 4000, or four for RMX 2000 and two for RMX
1500. For more information see “Multiple Networks” in the RMX 1500/2000/
4000 Administrator’s Guide.
From Version 7.1, MPM media cards are not supported.
