MPM and MPM+ Configuration Modes
The RMX unit can work with either MPM or MPM+ (but not with both
simultaneously) media cards. The card Type installed in the system
determines the Card Configuration Mode. When MPM card is installed in
the MCU, it operates in MPM Mode. When MPM+ cards are installed, the
RMX operates in MPM+ Mode giving the administrator enhanced control
and monitoring of resource allocation and usage within the system.
MPM+ cards are supported only with d-type chassis and software version
4.0.
Each MPM+ card doubles the MPM capacities. Table 2 summarizes the
resource capacities of the various video resource types in an RMX
containing two MPM and MPM+ cards.

MPM and MPM+ Modes
MPM+ and MPM cards installed in the system cannot be used
simultaneously. Therefore, the RMX can operate in either MPM or MPM+
Mode.
Operating Mode Selection During Startup / Restart
•
When started with Version 4.0 installed, the RMX enters MPM+ Mode
by default, even if no media cards are installed.
•
When upgrading a system from Version 3 (or lower) with Version 4.0
software downloaded from the Polycom Resource Center, the RMX
enters MPM Mode by default.
•
The RMX only switches between MPM and MPM+ Card Configuration
Modes if MPM/MPM+ cards are removed or swapped while it is running.
•
•
The Card Configuration Mode switch occurs during the next restart.
Installing or swapping MPM/MPM+ cards while the system is off will not
cause a mode switch when the system is restarted – it will restart in the Card
Configuration Mode that was active previous to powering down.
Table 4 summarizes the Operating Mode After Next Restart resulting from of
adding or swapping MPM/MPM+ cards in a running system.
