Reserving Media and Trunk Resources

See Also

By default, the Profile Configuration utility and ProfileConfig.exe create listen restrictions for the Media and Trunk Resources on many boards. Listen restrictions define the valid routing options for a Resource.

In most cases, the default listen restrictions should be maintained to simplify the Resource Manager's automatic routing when you use a function that requires Resources.

If you want to manually control Resource routing—for example, if you have a system with more Trunk Resources than Media Resources and want the ability to route any of them together—you need to remove the Listen Restrictions that are set up for your board in the Profile.

To Remove Listen Restrictions with the Profile Configuration Utility

1. Open the Profile Configuration utility.

2. In the Profile window, remove the RestrictListenMediaTechType and RestrictListenMediaTechIndex entries for each Resource you want to freely route. Be sure not to alter or delete any other Profile entries while you are editing.

3. Save the Profile, and then exit the Profile Configuration utility.

To Remove Listen Restrictions with ProfileConfig.exe

1. Use ProfileConfig.exe to copy the contents of the Profile to a text file. Run ProfileConfig.exe with the -L command-line option:

      ProfileConfig.exe -L

 ProfileConfig.exe writes the contents of the Profile (in a readable format) to a text file called ProfileConfig.txt.

2. Modify ProfileConfig.txt. Remove the RestrictListenMediaTechType and RestrictListenMediaTechIndex entries for each Resource you want to freely route. Be sure not to alter or delete any other Profile entries while you are editing ProfileConfig.txt. When you are finished editing, save ProfileConfig.txt.

3. Next, delete the current Profile. (Remember that copying the Profile entries to ProfileConfig.txt does not change the contents of the Profile itself.) You delete the Profile by running ProfileConfig.exe with the -D command-line option:

          ProfileConfig.exe -D

4. Copy the contents of ProfileConfig.txt back into the Profile. Run ProfileConfig.exe with the -C command-line option:

      ProfileConfig.exe -C ProfileConfig.txt

 The Profile now contains only the entries you've left in ProfileConfig.txt.

 You'll need to repeat this procedure any time you rescan your system.
