Mpmx And Mpmrx Modes; Operating Mode Selection During Startup / Restart; System Information Changes - Polycom 2000 Hardware Manual

RealPresence®Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 Hardware Guide

MPMx and MPMRx Modes

MPMx and MPMRx 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 MPMx or
MPMRx mode.
● G.719 audio algorithm is not supported with MPMx and MPMRx cards.

Operating Mode Selection During Startup / Restart

When started with Version 7.x installed, the RMX enters MPMx Mode by default when no media cards are
installed.
• The RMX switches between MPMx and MPMRx Card Configuration Modes when MPMx/MPMRx
cards are removed or swapped while the system is running.
• The switch between Card Configuration Modes occurs during the next restart.
• Installing or swapping MPMx and MPMRx 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.

System Information Changes
