When a device has a media resource group list on the device itself and another on its device pool, Unified CM searches the device-level list first and then the device pool list.

Checked 2026-09-30

If a device has an MRGL configured at the device pool level as well as on the device itself, the MRGL configured at the device level is searched first, followed by the MRGL on the device pool.
