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.
•
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.
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.
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.
•
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.
