Component

Description

 

 

Multi Processor

The MPMx cards, perform the various RTP, audio and

Module x (MPMx)

video processing functions on the RMX 4000 unit. TI

Card

processors are at the core of each MPMx card which are

 

available in the following assemblies:

 

MPMx -S

 

MPMx -D

 

Note: An MPMx located (on the front panel) must face

 

opposite (same slot level) an RTM LAN card (installed on

 

the rear panel). For more information, see "RTM LAN” on

 

page 1-30.

 

 

 

MPM+ and MPMx Media Cards

The RMX unit can work with either MPM+ or MPMx (but not with both simultaneously) media cards. The card type installed in the system determines the Card Configuration Mode.

ISDN support is the same for all card types.

G.719 audio algorithm is not supported with MPMx.

Card Configuration Mode Selection During Startup / Restart

When the MCU is started with Version 7.0.x installed and no media cards, the RMX is set to MPMx Card Configuration Mode by default.

The RMX switches between MPMx and MPM+ Card Configuration Modes when MPM+/MPMx cards are removed or swapped while the system is running.

The switch between Card Configuration Modes occurs during the next restart.

Installing or swapping MPM+/MPMx cards while the system is off will not cause a switch in the Card Configuration Mode when the system is restarted

– it will restart in the Card Configuration Mode that was active previous to powering down.
