Configuring the Video/Voice Resources

Resource re-configuration should only be performed when no conferences are running on the MCU.

Updating the configuration sequentially requires a 10 seconds wait between updates, to let the system complete the update process.

To allocate Voice resources:

1In the RMX menu, select Setup > Video/Voice Port Configuration. The Video/Voice Port Configuration dialog box is displayed.

A slider is displayed, calibrated according to the number of HD720p30 video licenses purchased for the MCU.

2Move the slider (to the right) to increase the number of Voice ports allocated.

As the slider moves, HD720p30 video ports are converted to voice ports, with each HD720p30 video port converting to 12 voice ports.

3Click OK.

On the RMX1500 MPMx-Q assembly, the use of HD with Continuous Presence requires an additional license. In the Resource Report and Resolution Configuration panes, HD settings are displayed but are not enabled and if HD is selected the system will enable SD by default.

Forcing Video Resource Allocation to CIF Resolution

You can set the MCU to allocate one CIF video resource to an endpoint, regardless of the resolution determined by the Conference Profile parameters. This forcing saves resources and enables more endpoints to connect to conferences.

The forcing is done by modifying the system configuration and it applies to all conferences running on the MCU.

You can specify the endpoint types for which resource allocation can be forced to CIF resource, enabling other types of endpoints to use higher resolutions in the same conference. For example, you can force the
