Resource Capacity
The MCU resources are determined by the MCU type, Card Configuration Mode and the system license you
have purchased. The total number of licensed resources is shown in the
Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500 supports one Card Configuration Mode: MPMx, and contains a single
card. It supports up to 4 ISDN/PSTN E1/T1 connections.
Three assembly variations, MPMx-S, MPMx-D and MPMx-Q, differing in resource capacity, are
available in RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500. For capacity details, see
Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000/4000 support two Card Configuration Modes: MPMx or MPMRx.
Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 can include up to two media cards and Collaboration Server (RMX) 4000
can include up to four media cards. Both include one RTM-ISDN card with up to 7 E1 or 9 T1 connections.
Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800 does not contain any MPM media cards, yet it supports one media card
type similar to the MPMRx card, and therefore has similar capabilities (in terms of the media card).
Collaboration Servers 1800 containing 3 DSP cards and built in ISDN also support up to 4 ISDN/PSTN
E1/T1 connections.
Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800-0 does not contain any DSP cards.
MCU Capacities in CP Only Conferencing and SVC Only Conferencing
The following table summarizes the resource capacities of fully configured (with all media cards at their full
capacity) and fully licenced Collaboration Servers with the various card types per resolution in AVC CP only
Conferencing mode or in SVC only conferences (and not in mixed CP and SVC conferences).
