•MCU’s with 500MB of memory can support a maximum of 400 simultaneous participant calls, regardless of how system resources are allocated.

MCU’s with 1000MB of memory are not subject to this limitation.

•MCU memory size is listed in the Administration > System Information properties box. For more information see "System Information” on page 21-24.

Resource Capacity Modes

The installed media card type (MPM, MPM+ or MPMx) determines the Card Configuration Mode, which in turn determines the resource allocation method that can be selected for the MCU. The resource allocation method determines how the system resources are allocated to the connecting endpoints and it is defined in the Video/Voice Port Configuration. Two allocation methods are available:

•Flexible Resource Capacity™ – This is the default allocation mode that is used in all versions and can be used in all Card Configuration Modes and applies to all Conferencing Modes (SVC and AVC conferencing). The resources are only set to audio and video as a pool and the system allocates the resources according to the connecting endpoints. This mode offers flexibility in resource allocation and is available in MPM, MPM+ and MPMx Card Configuration Modes.

In Flexible Resource Capacity mode, in MPM, MPM+ and MPMx Card Configuration Modes, the maximum number of resources is based on the system license, regardless of the hardware configuration of the MCU. These resources are allocated as CIF resources by default.

Example: If the MCU is licensed for 80 video resources, but only one MPM card is currently installed in the MCU, the system lets you allocate 80 ports although only 40 video resources are available for participant connection. (However, an active alarm will be added to the Active Alarms list indicating a resource deficiency).

•Fixed Resource Capacity™ – This mode is applies to AVC conferencing only and the resources cannot be used for SVC conferencing. It offers precise usage of resources, allowing the administrator to set the number of resources guaranteed to each Audio Only and video connection type in advance. This mode is available only in MPM+ and MPMx Card Configuration Modes.
