Resource Reports - Polycom realpresence 1800 Administrator's Manual

You can specify the endpoint types for which resource allocation can be forced to CIF resource, enabling
other types of endpoints to use higher resolutions in the same conference. For example, you can force the
system to allocate one CIF video resource to CMAD and VSX endpoints while HDX endpoints can connect
using SD or HD video resources.
Once the endpoint connects to the conference, its type is identified by the Collaboration Server and, if
applicable, the Collaboration Server will connect it using one CIF resource, even if a higher resolution can
be used.
To force CIF resource:
1 On the Collaboration Server menu, select Setup > System Configuration.
The System Flags dialog box opens.
2 In the MCMS_PARAMETERS tab
The New Flag dialog box is displayed.
3 In the New Flag field enter the flag name: FORCE_CIF_PORT_ALLOCATION
4 In the Value field enter the product type to which the CIF resource should be allocated. Possible
values are VSX nnnn where nnnn represents the model number for example, VSX 8000.
5 Click OK.
The new flag is added to the flags list.
