basic operation of your RMX system.

Chairpersons and Operators (users who start and manage conferences for
other users) please read:

• Chapter 1 – System Overview

• Chapter 3 – Basic Operation

System Administrators please read:

• Chapter 1 – System Overview

• Chapter 2 – First Time Installation and Configuration

• Chapter 3 – Basic Operation

For more information on configuring and managing the system, refer to
the RMX 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide included with the system.

Unless specified differently, all screen captures, Diagrams and Figures
included in this guide apply to RMX 1500, RMX 2000 and RMX 4000.

The Polycom RMX 1500/2000/4000 unit can be controlled via the LAN,
by the RMX Web Client application, using Internet Explorer installed on
the user’s workstation or the RMX Manager application. The RMX
Manager can control several RMX units (RMX 1500, RMX 2000 and
RMX 4000). For more information about the RMX Manager, see "RMX
Manager Application” on page 17-1.

In the RMX 1500 and RMX 2000, RMX management and IP conferencing
are performed via a single LAN port. The networks can be separated in
the Enhanced Security Environment such as DoD environment.

In the RMX 4000, RMX management and IP conferencing are performed
via two different LAN ports. The networks can be separated in the
Enhanced Security Environment.

The RMX 1500 supports one ISDN card with 4 E1/T1 PRI lines.

On the RMX 2000/4000 a maximum of two RTM ISDN cards are
supported, each providing connection for up to either 7 E1 or 9 T1 PRI
lines (E1 and T1 connections cannot be used simultaneously).

On RMX 1500/2000/4000, E1 and T1 connections cannot be used
simultaneously.

Chapter 1-System Overview

RMX Audio Only Main Features

The Polycom RMX conferencing system offers a comprehensive range of
capabilities for audio conferencing:

Scheduling Interfaces

Conferences can be started immediately or scheduled in advance on the
Polycom MCU by means of the following applications:

• Windows-based RMX Manager

• Browser-based Web Client

• Microsoft Outlook using the Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft
Outlook add-in

• Polycom CMA application

• Polycom DMA application

Conference scheduling options

• Ad Hoc conferencing

• On-demand conferencing (Ongoing)

• “Meet Me” reservationless conferences (Meeting Rooms)

• Scheduled conferences (Reservations)

• Recurrent conferences

Conferencing Modes

• Operator Assisted conferences; reserved and reservationless

• Unattended conference; reserved and reservationless

Operator Conference

In addition to the standard conference, a special conference that enables
the RMX user, acting as an operator, to assist participants without
disturbing ongoing conferences and without being heard by other
conference participants can be created. The operator can move a
participant from an Entry Queue or ongoing conference to a private, one­on-one conversation in the Operator conference.

1-6

IVR-Enabled Conferencing

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a software module that automates the
connection process and lets participants perform various operations
during ongoing conferences. The participants use their endpoints’
keypads and remote control to interact with the conference’s menu-driven
scripts using DTMF codes.

Operations that can be performed by participants or chairpersons during
a conference include:

• Manually terminate the conference.

• Mute or unmute the participant’s audio channel.

• Adjust the participant’s broadcasting and listening audio volume.

• Play the Help menu.

• Mute or unmute undefined dial-in participants upon their connection

to the conference.

• Request a Roll Call and stop the Roll Call names review

• Secure and unsecure a conference.

• Request individual and conference assistance.

Polycom RMX 1500/2000/4000 Getting Started Guide for Audio Only

Entry Queue

An Entry Queue is a special routing lobby for video and audio
participants. After dialing the Entry Queue ID or dial-in number (ISDN/
PSTN), voice prompts from an IVR service are used to connect the
participants to the appropriate conference.

This service can also be used (if required) to verify the participant’s right
to start an Ad Hoc conference or to join an ongoing conference.

Conferencing Capabilities and Options

On Demand Conferencing

The following options are available to set up conferences:

• New Conference – set up once, use once.

The conference is deleted from the MCU after it ends.

1-7

Chapter 1-System Overview

• Meeting Rooms – set up once, use many times.
Meeting Rooms are saved in memory (using no resources) and can be
activated as many times as needed.

• Ad Hoc Entry Queue – no setup, a new conference can be created when
a user dials in and enters a conference ID that is not being used by an
existing conference or Meeting Room.

• Gateway calls – from IP endpoints to other participants, using the
direct dialing method, with up to 10 destination numbers contained
in a single dial string.

Scheduled Conferencing / Reservations

Reservations provide calendar-based scheduling of single or recurring
conferences. These conferences can be launched immediately or become
ongoing, at a specified time on a specified date.

Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft Outlook®

Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft Outlook is implemented by installing the
Polycom Conferencing Add-in for Microsoft Outlook on the Microsoft Exchange

Server

scheduled with video endpoints from within Outlook. The add-in also
adds a Polycom Conference button in the Meeting tab of the Microsoft
Outlook e-mail client ribbon.

and Microsoft Outlook e-mail clients. It enables meetings to be

1-8

Connection Methods

IPv4, IPv6, ISDN and PSTN communication protocols are supported for
connection to the conference.

• Dial-out: automatically, to pre-defined participants (line rate
detection is automatic)

• Dial-in:

— for participants defined in advance (IP participants only)

— for undefined participants directly to a conference (IP and

ISDN/PSTN)

— for undefined participants via a single dial Entry Queue (IP and

ISDN/PSTN)

Cascading Conferences

• Simple Cascading (Star Topology).

• Multi Hierarchy Cascading (MIH).

Polycom RMX 1500/2000/4000 Getting Started Guide for Audio Only

Gateway

Using a special Gateway Profile, the RMX can be used as a gateway that
provides connectivity across different physical networks such as H.323,
SIP, ISDN and PSTN. The Gateway also provides connectivity between
the ISDN/PSTN endpoints and the DMA.

Security

• Media Encryption (IP only), available at conference and participant

levels, based on AES 128 Media Encryption and DH 1024 Key
Exchange standards.

• Secured Communication Mode (SSL/TLS).

• Secured conferences via DTMF codes and limited monitoring of

secured conferences.

•Auditor to analyze configuration changes and unusual or malicious

activities in the RMX system.

• Network security can be enhanced by separation of the Signaling and

Management Networks.

• RMX Users can be disabled by the administrator, or automatically

when inactive. Disabled Users can be enabled by the administrator.

• Enhanced Security Environment can be implemented.

In such an environment, the following attributes are implemented:

— Password management:

• Strong Passwords and password re-use / history rules,

• password aging rules, password change frequency and
forcing password change

• Conference and Chairman Passwords

• Locking out Users

• Displaying the User Login record

— Controlling the User Sessions includes:

• Limiting the maximum number of concurrent user sessions

• Connection Timeout

• User session timeout

• Limiting the maximum number of users that can connect to
the system
