Resource Allocation and Capacity
The Video/Voice Port Configuration (Collaboration Server 1500/20000/4000 in MPMx Card Configuration
Mode only) and the Resolution Configuration settings are configured per MCU and affect the resource
capacity of the MCU. They are reflected in the port gauges displayed on the Collaboration Server
management application’s main screen. In Multiple Networks mode, the overall resources are divided
between the Network Services. However, the port gauges do not reflect the resource availability per
Network Service. For more information see
