Polycom MGC-50/MGC-100 MUX+ Card Properties, 28 MUX+ Card Participant Properties

MGC Hardware and Installation Manual

The MUX+ card can be installed together with a MUX card in the same MCU. A conference can run on multiple MUX+ cards, and on both MUX and MUX+ cards simultaneously (with non-encrypted participants).

The MUX+ handles a variety of Line Rates, aggregation calls (1B to 6B) and Bonding calls (128 Kbps to E1).

MUX+ Card Properties

A flexible port resource allocation mechanism is available with the MUX+ card and allocates ports dynamically thereby decreasing fragmentation. It enables the MCU to allocate and free resources according to the conference requirements without pre-configuring the Line Rate on each card unit.

When version 7.0 software is installed on the MCU, during system re-start the MUX+ is recognized as a new type of card and no configuration is required. The Card Settings dialog box definitions - Common Parameters and MUX Plus Parameters properties are identical to the MUX card properties.
