Configuring the Video/Voice Resources in MPM Mode

Resource re-configuration should only be performed when no conferences are running on the MCU.

Updating the configuration sequentially requires a 10 seconds wait between updates, to let the system complete the update process.

From Version 7.1 MPM media cards are not supported.

To allocate Voice resources:

1In the RMX menu, click Setup > Video/Voice Port Configuration. The Video/Voice Port Configuration dialog box opens.

Resource Maximum from License

A single slider is displayed, calibrated according to licensed video resources indicated in CIF ports in the MCU.

2Move the slider to the number of Voice ports to be allocated.

The slider moves in multiples of two (in MPM and MPM+ Card configuration Modes) or three (in MPMx Card Configuration Mode), converting CIF video ports to voice ports in groups of two/three, with each CIF video port converting to five voice ports in MPM and MPM+ Card configuration Modes and four voice ports in MPMx Card Configuration Mode. The minimum number of voice ports that can be allocated is 10 (2 video ports x 5 voice ports per video port) in MPM and MPM+ Card configuration Modes and 12 (3 video ports x 4 voice ports per video port) in MPMx Card configuration Mode.

3Click OK.
