Set Up a Conferencing Network Service
You can use the Conferencing Network Service to configure and manage communications between the
RMX system and conferencing devices such as endpoints, gatekeepers, SIP servers, and so forth.
The Network Service contains parameters for the following:
● Signaling Host IP Address
● MPM+ and MPMx boards (media processors)
● External conferencing devices
Calls you make from an external IP entity are made to the Signaling Host, which initiates call setup and
assigns the call to the appropriate MPM + or MPMx board.
Conferencing definitions such as environment (H.323 or SIP) are also defined in this service.
Most of the Network Service is configured by the Fast Configuration Wizard, which runs automatically if
the following occurs:
● First time power-up
● Deletion of the Network Service, followed by a system reset
Admin Tip: You Must Reset the RMX System to Apply Changes
Changes made to any of these parameters take effect after you have reset the RMX unit.
An active alarm is created when changes you have made to the system have not yet been
implemented, which indicates that the MCU must be reset.
Modify the Management Network Service
You must modify the Management Network parameters to perform the following tasks:
● Connect directly to the RMX system from a workstation
● Modify routes
● Modify DNS information
You can configure the Management Network H.323 settings using the system user interface or the web
interface. This procedure shows you how to configure settings using the web interface.
To view or modify the Management Network Service:
1 In the RMX Management pane, choose IP Network Services, shown next.
