When both CMA and DMA are part of the solution, following a request by the CMA and DMA, the RMX will send updates on resource usage to both CMA and DMA, with each application updating its own resource usage for the RMX. This provides better management of the RMX resources by CMA and DMA.

Guidelines

•Resource usage updates from RMX to the CMA and DMA are supported only with RMXs with MPM+ or MPMx cards.

•Both Flexible Resource Capacity™ and Fixed Resource Capacity™ modes are supported with DMA.

•Only Flexible Resource Capacity™ mode is supported with CMA.

•Following requests sent by CMA and DMA, the RMX will send the number of occupied resources for a conference or total for the MCU, according the Resource Capacity Mode used by the system.
