Video/Voice Port Configuration; Flexible Resource Capacity Mode - Polycom RMX 1500 Administrator's Manual

Video/Voice Port Configuration

High Definition Video Switching
During a High Definition Video Switching conference, each endpoint uses
one video (CIF) port.
Voice
One Audio Only resource is used to connect a single voice participant
when CIF resources have been converted to Audio Only. However, if no
CIF resources were converted, Audio Only endpoints use one CIF video
resource per connection.
When video ports are fully used, the system cannot use free audio ports
for video. When audio port resources are fully used, video ports can be
used, using one video port to connect one voice participant.
The Video/Voice Port Configuration enables you to configure the resources
per resource type and if in MPM+ or MPMx System Card Configuration
Mode, select the RMX Resource Capacity Mode.

Flexible Resource Capacity Mode

All resources are initially allocated as CIF video ports as it is a resolution
commonly supported by all endpoints.
The administrator can allocate some or all of these resources asVoice
resources and let the system allocate the remaining Video resources
automatically as participants connect to conferences. The number of
resources automatically allocated by the system resources per endpoint is
according to the participant's endpoint type, capabilities and line rate.
If the system runs out of voice ports, voice endpoints cannot connect to available
video ports. Conversely, video endpoints cannot connect to available voice
ports.
Flexible Resource Capacity mode is available and is the default selection in
both MPM, MPM+ and MPMx System Card Configuration Modes. It is the
only allocation method in MPM System Card Configuration Mode.
Fixed Resource Capacity
Fixed Resource Capacity enables the administrator to configure in advance
the maximum number of resources available for participant connections
per video resolution and Audio Only connections. In Fixed Resource
Capacity mode, the system is always in a known state, and when used in
