Chapter 1- Hardware Description

MPM and MPM+ Configuration Modes

The RMX unit can work with either MPM or MPM+ (but not with both simultaneously) media cards. The card Type installed in the system determines the Card Configuration Mode. When MPM card is installed in the MCU, it operates in MPM Mode. When MPM+ cards are installed, the RMX operates in MPM+ Mode giving the administrator enhanced control and monitoring of resource allocation and usage within the system.

MPM+ cards are supported only with d-type chassis and software version 4.0.

Each MPM+ card doubles the MPM capacities. Table 2 summarizes the resource capacities of the various video resource types in an RMX containing two MPM and MPM+ cards.

RMXs with 500MB of memory can support a maximum of 400 simultaneous voice calls and 120 CIF video calls, regardless of how system resources are allocated. This limitation applies to RMXs configured with either MPM or MPM+ cards.

RMXs with 1000MB of memory are not subject to this limitation.

RMX memory size is listed in the Administration > System Information properties box.
