MPMx, MPM+ and MPM Modes

MPMx, MPM+ and MPM cards installed in the system cannot be used simultaneously. The
card type installed in the system determines the Card Configuration Mode. Therefore, the
RMX can operate in either MPM, MPM+ or MPMx mode.

Operating Mode Selection During Startup / Restart

media cards are installed.

System Information Changes

The System Information includes License Information, and general system information, such as
system memory size and Media Card Configuration Mode.
Table 1-12 summarizes the Operating Mode After Next Restart resulting from of adding or
swapping MPM/MPM+/MPMx cards in a running system.

MPMx Card Configuration Mode is the mode in which the RMX operates to fully
utilize the increased power and capacity of MPMx cards.
G.719 audio algorithm is not supported with MPMx.
The RMX switches between MPM, MPM+ and MPMx Card Configuration Modes when MPM/
MPM+/MPMx cards are removed or swapped while the system is running.
The switch between Card Configuration Modes occurs during the next restart.
Installing or swapping MPM/MPM+/MPMx cards while the system is off will not cause a switch in
the Card Configuration Mode when the system is restarted – it will restart in the Card
Configuration Mode that was active previous to powering down.
