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.
