Although the Video/Voice Configuration dialog box is displayed for Collaboration Servers 2000/4000 with

MPMRx media cards installed, Video/Voice Configuration is not supported.

These MCUs and the Collaboration Server 1800 will allocate the same amount of system resources to voice

(audio) participants, as those allocated to CIF video participants. For more information see

The Video/Voice Port Configuration dialog box enables you to configure the resources per resource type

using Flexible Resource Capacity Mode if the MCU has MPMx media cards installed.

From Version 8.1, Fixed Resource Capacity mode is disabled and cannot be selected in the

Video/Voice Port Configuration.

If Fixed Resource Capacity mode was active at the time of an upgrade, Flexible Resource Capacity

mode will automatically be enabled, the settings from the last time Flexible Resource Capacity mode

active on the Collaboration Server are implemented when the upgrade is complete.

Flexible Resource Capacity Mode

Flexible Resource Capacity is the default mode for MPMx media cards.

All resources are initially allocated as HD720p30 video ports. The administrator can allocate some or all of

these resources as Voice 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.

Resource re-configuration should only be performed when no conferences are running on the

Updating the configuration sequentially requires a 10 seconds wait between updates, to let the

system complete the update process.
