Add an MCU Manually
This topic describes how to add an MCU to a RealPresence Resource Manager
system.
When you add an MCU device, MCU network services are added
automatically at the time the IP card registers with the RealPresence Resource
Manager system.
When you add a gateway device, use the Services page to specify the network
services available for the device.
When you enter network service information manually, remember that the
RealPresence Resource Manager system does not create the service at the
device. The service must have already been defined at the device. Enter
information in the RealPresence Resource Manager system that matches the
information in the device.
If you do not define network services, you may not use an MCU or gateway in
a conference. For example, if you do not define the H.323 service on the MCU,
when the RealPresence Resource Manager system tries to schedule a video
conference that requires this service, it will look for another MCU with this
service. If another MCU with this service is not available, the conference will
not be scheduled.

Capacity (Kbps)
The maximum bandwidth supported by the Polycom
RMX MCU.
Field Description
Back-end communication with the Polycom RMX system control units and IP
service blades must be enabled.
• Polycom RMX system devices may only have H.323 service.
• Once an MCU registers with the RealPresence Resource Manager system, if
you change an MCU service on the MCU, the update does not automatically
get sent to the RealPresence Resource Manager system. To update the
system, you must delete and re-add the MCU to the system.
