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 case 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 Boards
• Gatekeeper IP address
• SIP server IP address, if applicable
2
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 and Installing the RMX
1Place the RMX 2000 on a stable flat surface in the selected location.
2Remove the RMX 2000 from its package. You 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.
3Connect 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)
If the RMX is connected to the public ISDN Network, an external
CSU or similar equipment is needed.
•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 your 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 www.polycom.com.
2In the Services section, click the Product Registration link.
3If required, select to open a New User Account or enter your User
ID and Password and then click Sign In.
4Follow the on-screen instructions to complete product registration.
Write down the Product Activation Key number or copy it for later.
Initial RMX Configuration
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
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.
1Plug the USB key into a PC.
2Double-click LanConfigUtility.exe to start the utility.
3Modify the required network parameters in the utility’s dialog box
using the information supplied by your network administrator.
4Click OK.
5Insert the USB key with the modified IP addresses in the USB port
on the back panel.
6Power 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.
4
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.
7Remove the USB key.
Connecting to the MCU
1Start the RMX Web Client application on the workstation by
entering in your 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.
2In the RMX Web Client Welcome Screen, enter the default Username
(POLYCOM) and Password (POLYCOM) and click Login.
The RMX Web Client opens.
The following steps are performed on first entry:
3The Product Activation dialog box appears with the serial number
filled in.
In 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 reset dialog box.

The Fast Configuration Wizard enables you to configure the Default IP
Service. It starts automatically if no Default IP Network Service is defined.
This happens during First Time Power-up,before the service has been
defined or if the Default IP Service has been deleted, followed by an RMX
reset.
The IP Management Service tab in the Fast Configuration Wizard is
enabled only if the default Management IP addresses were not
modified.
