Guidelines

● Following requests sent by the RealPresence DMA system, the Collaboration Server will send the
number of occupied resources for a conference or total for the MCU.In Flexible Resource Capacity
Mode, the DMA receive information about how many Video (CIF) and Audio resources are occupied
per conference or MCU according the request type sent by the DMA.
● Occupied resources are resources that are connected to ongoing conferences. Disconnected
endpoints in an ongoing conference are not counted as occupied resources.
● An ongoing conference that does not include participants and the Send Content to Legacy
Endpoints option is disabled does not occupy resources. If the Send Content to Legacy Endpoints
option is enabled, the conference occupies one SD resource.
Port Usage Threshold
The Collaboration Server can be set to alert the administrator to potential port capacity shortages. A
capacity usage threshold can be set as a percentage of the total number of licensed ports in the system.
When the threshold is exceeded, a System Alert is generated.
The default port capacity usage threshold is 80%.
The administrator can monitor the MCU's port capacity usage via the Port Gauge in the Status Bar of the
Collaboration Server Web Client.
Setting the Port Usage Threshold
To Set the Port Usage Threshold:
1 In the Setup menu, click Port Gauge to open the Port Gauge dialog box.
Port Gauge Threshold Setting - RealPresence Collaboration Server 1800 or 2000/4000 with MPMRx
2 Enter the value for the percentage capacity usage threshold.
The value is applied to the Audio and video resources according to the Video/Voice Port
Configuration.
The high Port Usage threshold represents a percentage of the total number of video or voice ports
available. It is set to indicate when resource usage is approaching its maximum, resulting in no free
resources to run additional conferences. When port usage reaches or exceeds the threshold, the red
area of the gauge flashes. The default port usage threshold is 80%.
