Getting Started Guide

General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the Polycom RSS2000 unit clean, free of clutter

and well ventilated.

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

the RSS2000 unit and is near a grounded power outlet.

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

RSS2000 unit from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep it

operating in case of a power failure.

Preparations

Obtain the following information from your network administrator:

• RSS2000 unit, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway IP addresses

• Gatekeeper IP address, Prefix, and E.164 of the RSS2000.

Unpacking and Installing the RSS2000

1 Place the RSS2000 unit on a stable flat surface in the selected location.

2 To connect to the power source, insert the power cable into the

Power connector on the rear panel of the MGC+ unit and insert the

Power cable into the power source socket.

3Connect the lan cable to LAN1 in the back of the system.

4 Turn on the power switch.

Initial RSS2000 IP Configuration

The system is shipped with a default IP configuration:

IP Address:192.168.1.254

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.1

There are two ways to change the initial IP address of the sytem:

1. Via a cross over lan cable

2. Via a RS232 or Telnet Console.

Changing the initial IP address via a cross over lan cable

1. Connect a cross over lan cable to LAN1 in the RSS2000.

2. Set your laptop to the same segment of the RSS

a. For example (in your laptop IP config setting):

3. Open a browser and go to:

http://192.168.1.254

4. Login to the system.

User name: administrator

Password: polycom

5. Go to system configuration->IP setting and modify the IP address. You can set a static

IP or choose DHCP. Click the save button and then reset the system.

2.Changing the initial IP address via an RS232 Console or Telnet

Another option to modify the IP address of the RSS2000 is using the RS232 console.

1.Connect to the RS232 port – and activate the console (9600, 8bits)

When you first login to the console, you will see the current IP address of the system.

Changing the IP Address:

set lan1 static 172.21.100.20 mask 255.255.224.0 [gw 172.21.96.254]

Reset Password (back to polycom)

A user may reset the password of the administrator to the default of ‘polycom’

reset password

Note:

The same process applies also for Telnet connections.

Only one console session can be active at any given time (either Telnet or RS232, not both).

The system is now ready for use. For additional configuration instructions, refer to the

user guide.

RSS2000 Maximum Capacity

Scenario Description Maximum Capacity

Conference

Recording How many conferences can be

recorded simultaneously? 2 conference recording links, or 2

endpoints dialing in the same time. Only

1 recording session at a time may utilize

H.239.

Point to Point

recording How many point to point calls can

be recorded (if both are dialing into

the POLYCOM ™ RSS2000)?

1 point to point call can be recorded, as

the two connections to the recording

room utilize both available ports on the

RSS2000.

H323

Playback How many recordings can be

simultaneously played back in

H323?

10 recordings. This includes playback

from the local RSS2000, or from other

units in a clustering group.

Archive

playback

(Multicast)

How many streams/archives can be

simultaneously viewed (multicast)? 2 streams can be viewed using the

RSS2000 Multicast Viewer. The archives

must be enabled for multicast streaming.

See the User Guide for details.

Clustering How many RSS2000 devices can

be clustered in a single group? There is no limitation for the amount of

RSS2000 devices that can be in a single

clustering group.

1.In clustering mode, each RSS2000 still

supports 10 H.323 playback sessions.

For example: One H.323 endpoint

connects to RSS-A to playback an

archive residing on RSS-B (B is in a

clustering group with A in this

example). The H.323 playback

resource it occupies is taken from

RSS-A, even though the archive

resides on RSS-B. RSS-A has 9

additional H.323 playback sessions

available, while RSS-B still has all 10

sessions available.

2. WMV playback via the archive list in

the web UI of a clustered RSS2000 will

utilize unicast streaming resources from

the RSS device where the archive

actually resides, not from the clustered

device that the user is connected to. Note

this is the reverse of the resource usage

behavior for H.323 playback.

On demand Protocol TCP 554

On Demand Archive TCP (optional) 554

Media On Demand Archive UDP(optional) Random (for source port)

Notes Regarding On Demand Archive

The UDP ports used for on demand archives are randomly chosen. There are two ways to

configure firewalls and Windows Media Player for usage with RSS2000 on demand archives.

1) Open an outbound UDP port range matching what is used by Windows Media Player, or open

all UDP ports outbound from RSS2000 to effectively bypass the firewall for outbound traffic. Also

open the port range used by Windows Media Player for inbound traffic to the viewing PC. This

range is configurable in Windows Media Player, as seen in Figure 1 (Windows Media Player

defaults shown). The user can check RTSP/UDP, check ‘Use ports’ and define the port range.

2) Disable UDP connections in Windows Media Player to force a TCP-only connection. This

configuration utilizes only TCP port 554. As seen in Figure 2, unchecking RTSP/UDP removes

the user’s ability to specify a port range and forces all connections to use TCP 554 only.
