Monitoring RDP Content
Both RealConnect (RDPConnect) and Direct Call Mode (RDPDirect) translators can be monitored using the
System Monitor.

Modular MCU Resource Consumption and
Management
Some changes in the resource consumption and resource report result from the changes introduced into
the Collaboration Server infrastructure.
There is an inherent difficulty in estimating the resource usage, since it may be due to either one of the Main
MCU, one of the Soft Blades, or both.
In addition, the Translator consumes Soft Blade cores according to the type of media/endpoint.
Resource Weight Factoring in Resource Management
A resource weight is the amount of resources required by any Translator of a certain type. Resource weights
are constant across the MMCU system per each Translator (media/endpoint) type, and a table containing
these values resides at the TC, to enable resource allocation planning.
In addition, each Translator consumes H.264 resources of identical resolution on the Main MCU.
The TC allocates Translators on each Soft Blade, taking into account the resource weight of the required
Translator type, until a pre-defined upper threshold is reached, at which point Translator-allocation moves
to the next Soft Blade in the system. Each Soft Blade reports to the TC on its own resource
availability/usage, thus the TC acts as a resource manager for the Translators (only).
The Main MCU resource management remains as it was.
Resource Report
Two separate resource reports are available, as before, only now they are separated into a report on the
Main MCU, and a report on the Soft Blades assigned to that Main MCU. These reports are:
