Resource Capacity Modes
The installed media card type (MPM and MPM+) determines the Card
Configuration Mode, which in turn determines the resource allocation
method that can be selected for the RMX. It determines how the system
resources are allocated to the connecting endpoints.
The System Card Configuration Mode determines the resource allocation
method used by the RMX to allocate resources to the connecting
endpoints. The method in which the system allocates the resources is
defined in the Video/Voice Port Configuration. Two allocation methods are
available:
• Flexible Resource Capacity™ – This is the same as the allocation
mode used in all previous versions. The system allocates the
resources according to the connecting endpoints. This mode offers
flexibility in resource allocation and is available in both MPM and
MPM+ Card Configuration Modes.
In Flexible Resource Capacity mode, in both MPM and MPM+ Card
Configuration Modes, the maximum number of resources is based on
the system license, regardless of the hardware configuration of the
RMX. These resources are allocated as CIF resources by default.
Example: If the RMX is licensed for 80 video resources, but only one
MPM card is currently installed in the RMX, the system lets you
allocate 80 ports although only 40 video resources are available for
participant connection. (However, an active alarm will be added to
the Active Alarms list indicating a resource deficiency).
• Fixed Resource Capacity™ – This mode offers precise usage of
resources, allowing the administrator to set the number of resources
guaranteed to each Audio Only and video connection type in advance.
This mode is available only in MPM+ Card Configuration Mode.
• RMX’s with 500MB of memory can support a maximum of 400 simultaneous
participant calls, regardless of how system resources are allocated. This
limitation applies to RMX’s configured with either MPM or MPM+ cards.
RMX’s with 1000MB of memory are not subject to this limitation.
• RMX memory size is listed in the Administration > System Information
properties box. For more information see "System Information” on
page 16-61.
