Resource Allocation and Capacity

The Resolution Configuration settings are configured per MCU and affect the resource capacity of the MCU.
They are reflected in the port gauges displayed on the Collaboration Server management application’s main
screen.
In Multiple Networks mode, the port gauges do not reflect the resource availability per Network Service.
In Multiple Networks mode, the resources of the Network Services are not split between the network
services but are used per their availability by all Network Services equally.
