Guidelines
•PCM is only supported with MPM+ cards.
•PCM is only available in CP conferences.
•Although the RMX can host up to a maximum of 800 conferences (depending on the RMX model) PCM can only be activated from 4 conferences per MPM+ card.
—An RMX 2000 with 2 MPM+80 cards installed can host a total of 8 PCM sessions while an RMX 4000 with 4 MPM+80 cards installed can host a total of 16 PCM sessions.
—If 4 PCM sessions are active on an MPM+ card and a chairperson of another conference, hosted on the same MPM+ card, attempts to start an additional PCM session, a message indicating insufficient resources is displayed and FECC is activated.
•When PCM is active, FECC can only be performed by the chairperson using PCM’s Camera Control menu.
