RMX

2000 Installation &

Configuration Guide

General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the Polycom RMX®2000 unit clean and free

of clutter and well ventilated.

• Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold

the RMX, ensuring that it is near a grounded power outlet.

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully

extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on

them. Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a

component from the rack.

• In a single rack installation, attach stabilizers to the rack. In

multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the

RMX from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep it

operating in the event of a power failure.

• Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.

• Always keep the rack’s trays and board’s closed when not

servicing, to maintain proper cooling.

Preparations

Obtain the following information from your network administrator:

• IP addresses, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway IP address

(optional) for the RMX control unit and RMX Shelf Management.

• IP addresses for the RMX Signaling Host and Media cards.

• Gatekeeper IP address.

• SIP server IP address, if applicable.

If ISDN/PSTN is installed in your conferencing environment, obtain the

following information from your ISDN/PSTN Service Provider:

• Switch Type, Line Coding and Framing, Numbering Plan and

Numbering Type

• Dial-in number range

Unpacking the RMX

1When you receive the RMX 2000 packing case, inspect the

equipment for damage and verify that the components match the

packing slip.

2Open the top cover of the RMX 2000 packing case and make sure

that the Installation Accessories kit contains the power cables and a

USB Key.

3Remove the top cover, lift the RMX 2000 from the package and

place it on a flat surface.

Management Network Configuration on the

USB Key

The system is shipped with the following default IP addresses:

• Control unit IP address – 192.168.1.254

• Shelf Management IP Address – 192.168.1.252

• Control unit subnet mask – 255.255.255.0

• Default Router IP Address – 192.168.1.1

If the RMX is connected to the public ISDN Network, an external

CSU or similar equipment is needed.

Write down the RMX’s serial number that is on a sticker on the back

of the unit. It will be needed for product registration later in the

installation process.

When the RMX is installed for the first time, you must change the

default IP addresses to your local network settings. This can be done by

modifying the default settings in the USB key shipped with the unit

using the LAN Configuration Utility and uploading them to the RMX.

1Take the USB Key from the Installation Accessories kit and insert it

into a PC.

The Polycom Documentation window opens.

In Windows XP:

aThe Polycom Documentation option is automatically selected.

Click OK.

In Windows 7:

aSelect Open Folder to view files using Windows Explorer.

bDouble-click the index.hta file.

The Language Menu opens.

2Select the documentation language.

3In the License Agreement window, click the Accept Agreement

button.

4In the Initial Setup Utility, click the RMX Lan Configuration Utility

hyperlink.

The LanConfigUtility dialog box opens.

5Modify the required network parameters in the utility’s dialog box

using the information supplied by your network administrator.

6Click OK.

7Remove the USB Key from the PC.

The USB key is required for first entry power-up of the RMX.

Installing the RMX

8You can install it either in a rack or place it on a flat surface:

—Install the RMX on a rack using one of two methods:

• Install the brackets supplied by the rack manufacturer on

each side of the rack on which the RMX is placed.

Secure the system by fastening four screws to the rack on

the front panel.

• Install a shelf supplied by the rack manufacturer on top of

which the RMX is placed. Secure the system by fastening

four screws to the rack on the front panel.

—Place the RMX 2000 on a secure, flat and clean surface.

9Connect the following cables to the RMX rear panel:

—Power cable - insert the connector firmly into the socket so that

almost all of the narrow section of the connector is inserted.

—LAN cable to the LAN 2 port.

—E1/T1 Cables to PRI ports (if applicable)

First Entry Power-up

10 Insert the USB key with the modified IP addresses in the USB port

on the back panel.

11 Power the RMX ON.

The parameters in the lan.cfg file are uploaded from the USB key to

the RMX’s memory and applied during the power-up sequence.

System power-up sequence may take up to five minutes.

During the first-time power-up the red ERR LED on the RMX’s

front panel remains ON until both the Management and IP

Network Services have been defined.

When the RMX's configuration is completed (including the

Management and IP Network Services), and if there are no System

Errors, the green RDY LED on the CNTL module (on the RMX’s

front panel) turns ON.

•Do not remove the protective caps from LAN1, LAN3 and ShMG

ports.

•To maximize conferencing performance, especially in high bit

rate call environments, a 1Gb connection is recommended.

Product Registration and Activation Key Retrieval

Before starting the initial configuration process, register the RMX at the

Polycom Resource Center website and download the product activation

key file to the computer you will use for the configuration:

1Using a Web browser, connect to http://portal.polycom.com.

2Login with your Email Address and Password or register as a new

user.

3Select the Product Registration link.

4Follow the on-screen instructions for Product Registration and

Product Activation. (The RMX’s serial number is on a sticker on the

back of the unit, if needed.)

5Write down the Product Activation Key number or copy it for later

use.

Connecting to the MCU

1Start the RMX Web Client application on the workstation by

entering in the browser’s address line the IP Address of the control

unit as defined in the USB key in the format:

http://<Control Unit IP Address> and pressing Enter.

2Once the RMX Web Client Welcome screen is displayed, you can

remove the USB key from the RMX.

3In the Welcome screen, enter the default Username (POLYCOM)

and Password (POLYCOM) and click Login.

The RMX Web Client opens. An MCU State indicator displays a

progress indicator showing the time remaining until the system

start-up is complete.

The Product Activation dialog box is displayed with the serial

number filled in.

4In the Activation Key field, enter or paste the Product Activation Key

retrieved earlier and click OK.

If you do not have an Activation Key, click the Polycom Resource

Center button to access the Service & Support page of the Polycom

website.

The system prompts with a System Reset dialog box.

5In the System Reset dialog box, click No.
