Polycom 1500/1800/2000/4000 manual First Time Installation and Configuration

Network Security

●Recording Links use the default Network Service to connect to conferences, therefore the recording system must be defined on the default network to enable the recording.

Resource Allocation and Capacity

The Video/Voice Port Configuration (Collaboration Server 1500/20000/4000 in MPMx Card Configuration Mode only) and the Resolution Configuration settings are configured per MCU and affect the resource capacity of the MCU. They are reflected in the port gauges displayed on the Collaboration Server management application’s main screen. In Multiple Networks mode, the overall resources are divided between the Network Services. However, the port gauges do not reflect the resource availability per Network Service. For more information see Resource Capacity.
