Polycom RMX 2000 Administrator’s Guide
In Flexible Resource Capacity mode, in both MPM and MPM+ Card
Configuration Modes, the maximum number of resources is based on
the system license, regardless of the hardware configuration of the
RMX. These resources are allocated as CIF resources by default.
Example: If the RMX is licensed for 80 video resources, but only one
MPM card is currently installed in the RMX, 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 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+ Card Configuration Mode.
In Fixed Resource Capacity mode, the maximum number of resources is
based on the system license and the hardware configuration of the
RMX. By default, these resources are allocated as HD720p30
resources, the first time Fixed Resource Capacity mode is activated.
Example: If two MPM+ cards are installed in the RMX, providing 160
video resources, and the license was not upgraded accordingly,
although the system capacity is higher, resource availability for
allocation does not change and remains according to the license (80).
Conversely, if two MPM+ cards are installed in the RMX, providing
160 video resources, and the license is for 160 video resources, and
one of the MPM+ cards is removed, the resource availability for
allocation is changed to 80.
Resource Usage
Continuous Presence
Video resources usage varies according to the video resolution used by
the endpoints. The higher the video resolution (quality), the greater the
amount of video resources consumed by the MCU.
Table 16-11 shows the number of video resources used for each
resolution.
