Network Services Guidelines
IP Networks
In the Collaboration Server 1500/2000 system management and IP conferencing are performed via a single 
LAN port. 
In the Collaboration Server 1800 system management and IP conferencing are performed on separate LAN 
ports. 
Management uses LAN1 and IP network Services use LAN2. When enabling multiple services, 
management and the IP network service (1) share LAN1, the second IP network service (2) uses LAN2. The 
networks can be separated in Maximum Security Environments (Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000).
In the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000, system management and IP conferencing are 
performed via two different LAN ports. The networks can be separated in Maximum Security Environments 
(Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000).

Hardware Description.
Card Configuration Modes (Collaboration Server (RMX) 
1500/2000/4000 Only)
The media card installed in the system determines the Card Configuration Mode. The Card 
Configuration Mode 
represents different generations of the media card. Each new generation provides 
additional functionality, higher video resolutions and higher resource capacity. 
Only one Media Card type can be installed in any Collaboration Server, which sets the Card Configuration 
Mode
 for that Collaboration Server: 
● MPMx Card Configuration Mode – Supported from Version 7.0, with MPMx cards installed in the 
RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500, RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 
and RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000. 
● MPMRx Mode – Supported from Version 8.3, with MPMRx cards installed in the RealPresence 
Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 and RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000. 
Viewing the Card Configuration Mode (RMX 1500, 2000, and 4000 only)
The Card Configuration Mode is determined according to the installed media card.
The Licensing Mode and the Card Configuration Mode for your MCU can be viewed in the System 
Information
 dialog box (go to Administration > System Information).
