Obtain the Activation Key

1Access the Service & Support page of the Polycom website at: http://support.polycom.com

2Log in with your Email Address and Password or register as a new user.

3Select Product Registration.

4Follow the on-screen instructions for Product Registration and Product Activation.

(The MCU’s serial number/service tag (tagged as ST) on the product sticker on the back of the

unit.) For more information, refer to the Collaboration Server Software Licence document you

received with your shipment.

5When the Product Activation Key is displayed, write it down or copy it for later pasting into the

Activation Key field of the Product Activation dialog box.

1When the Control Unit Error (ERR) LED is ON, and other Control Unit LEDs are turned OFF, then

open your browser and enter the IP Address of the RMX Control Unit.

2The RMX Welcome screen is displayed.

3In the RMX Web Client – Welcome screen, enter your User Name: POLYCOM and Password:

POLYCOM and click Login.

•RMX startup can take up to 25 minutes to complete. Do not turn OFF the RMX.

Support website.

7Click OK.

8A message indicating that the Product Activation Key was loaded successfully appears.

9If the Product Activation Key fails to load, please contact your vendor.

Process 4: Install MPMRx Card(s) on the RMX 2000/4000

When a single MPMRx media card is installed in the system, it must always be inserted in the top slot

of the RMX chassis. The RTM LAN/RTM ISDN card must be installed in the rear panel top slot on the

same level as the MPMRx card.

1On the MPMRx card to be installed, move the ejector levers to their fully open position. For more

information, see “Appendix B - Using the Ejector Lever(s)” on page 11.

2Carefully insert the MPMRx media card by making sure that the levers are in an open position

and push the card close to the chassis till the levers engage. With your thumbs holding the

“handles” and your index fingers holding the catches fully to left/right, push the card against the

chassis whilst closing the levers. Use your thumbs to push the card into place, and then lock the

catches into their place by using your thumbs to push it to the left/right.

Make sure that the levers are locked, and then tighten the screws into their housings.

3Push the MPMRx card firmly into the Backplane, making sure it is properly seated in its slot.

4Ensure that the metal ejector levers are fully retracted into their housings.

5Tighten the captive screws on the front panel of the RMX that secure the MPMRx card to the

chassis.

6Repeat the procedure for any additional MPMRx card(s).

7If the Fast Configuration Wizard dialog box appears, complete the wizard. For more information,

see the RMX 1500/1800/2000/4000 Getting Started Guide Chapter 2, Modifying the Default IP Service

and the ISDN/PSTN Network Service Settings. The Fast Configuration Wizard, requires a reset to

complete.

—When the Reset Confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes.

8If you backed up the RMX configuration do this:

—On the Collaboration Server menu, click Administration > Software Management >Restore

Configuration.

—Browse to the Restore Directory Path where the backed up configuration files are stored and

then click Restore.

For more information on Backup and Restore, see the RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s

Guide, Chapter 21, Software Management.

—Reset (System Restart button) the RMX to switch the RMX 2000/4000 to the MPMRx

Configuration Mode.

9The card startup procedure is complete when the MPMRx card(s) successfully completes startup

and the green RDY (Ready) LED remains lit on the MPMRx card(s) and Control Unit.

The MPMRx card status does not appear normal, the status changes only after the system is

restarted (System Restart button).

Its is recommended that slots that are left open on the MCU be sealed with blank panels. Request for

blank panels are to be referred to your next level of support.
