Port-Unit Allocation Area
The
Port-Unit Allocation
Method
box determines how all the resources
are allocated. The selection of the mode can be done only when no
conference is running. The following modes are available:
Circular
- The system allocates the next available sequential unit in the
order in which it is numbered on the card according to the unit numbers.
For example, if the last used unit is 2, the next time a conference is run,
the system will allocate units starting with unit 3 (provided that unit 3 is
free). This mode should be used when you suspect that there may be
faulty units, allowing the system to allocate other units for the
conferences while the faulty units are replaced, or reset. However, this
mode should not be used when debugging the system, as the problems
will be inconsistent if the problematic units are not used constantly.
Terminal
- The system always starts the unit allocation from the first free
unit on the first card. This mode may be problematic when there is one
faulty unit (especially if it is the first or second) that prevents the system
from running conferences. However, this should be the selected mode
when debugging the system.
