RMX

4000 Installation &

Configuration Guide

General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the Polycom RMX®4000 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.

• Use only the power cords supplied with the system.

• Each power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that

has a protective ground contact.

For all safety requirements and precautions, see the RMX 4000

Hardware Guide, "Safety Requirements” on page 1-6.

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 packing case, inspect the equipment for

damage and verify that the components match the packing slip.

2The RMX is shipped in a packing case with Stratocell® packaging,

and the top cover must be unlocked and lifted.

3Remove the boxes that are placed on the top Stratocell® and the top

Stratocell® and open the anti-static plastic bag wrapping the RMX.

4Holding the handle on each side, lift the RMX from the box, and

place it on a flat surface or in a rack. Remove any packaging

material prior to positioning the RMX.

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

CSU or similar equipment is needed.

Attention:

Two people are required to lift the MCU out of the box and when

installing it in a rack.

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.

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

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.

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.

5Remove the USB Key from the PC.

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

Installing the RMX

To install the RMX 4000 in a 19”rack using chassis runners:

1Install chassis runners supplied by Polycom, in the rack.

2Mount the RMX 4000 on top of the rack brackets.

For a detailed description of the safety requirements and

precautions and the installation of the RMX 4000 as a standalone,

mounted in a 23” rack, or reverse mounting the RMX 4000 on a 19”

rack, see the RMX 4000 Hardware Guide.

To connect the RMX 4000 to the DC power, see the RMX 4000

Hardware Guide, "Connecting the RMX 4000 to -48DC SELV

Power” on page 1-17.

3Fasten the RMX to the rack with screws through the eight holes in

the RMX’s front mounting brackets.

Connecting the cables to the RMX 4000

Connect the following cables to the RMX 4000 rear panel:

•For AC Power Supply connections: Insert a power cable in each of

the three AC Power Entry Modules (PEM’s).

For DC Power connections, see the RMX 4000 Hardware Guide.

•OntheRTM IP-4000:

—Connect the Management Network cable to LAN 2.

—Connect the Signalling cable to LAN 3.

—Connect the Shelf Management cable to LAN 6.

• For each installed RTM LAN - Connect the LAN cable to LAN 2.

• For each installed RTM ISDN:

—Connect the E1/T1 cables to their PRI Ports.

—Connect the LAN cable to LAN 1.

First Entry Power-up

1Insert the USB Key with the modified IP addresses in the USB port

on the back panel.

2Turn ON the power by pressing on the power switch located on the

rear panel of the RMX.

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.

The size of the protective earthing conductor & cable should be a

minimum of 10AWG.

•LAN 4, LAN 5 and the Serial ports are only for debugging and

not for customer use.

•Do not remove the protective plastic caps from LAN 1, LAN 4

and LAN 5 ports.

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.

3Remove the USB key.

Product Registration and Activation Key Retrieval
