Integrating Soundstructure With Soundstructure Voip Interface; Introduction - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

Integrating SoundStructure with
SoundStructure VoIP Interface
In this chapter you will learn how to create a SoundStructure design with the SoundStructure VoIP Interface
and how to integrate that SoundStructure design into a SIP environment.
This chapter begins with an introduction to the SoundStructure VoIP Interface, followed by detailed
information on setting up the SoundStructure VoIP Interface.

Introduction

The SoundStructure VoIP Interface is a plug-in card for SoundStructure systems that is a high-quality
SIP-based end-point. This card has been designed to inter-operate with other compatible equipment
including application servers, media servers, Internet-working gateways, voice bridges, and other
end-points. The SoundStructure VoIP Interface uses the industry-leading Polycom UC Software that is the
foundation of the SoundPoint IP and SoundStation IP phones.
The SoundStructure system can be controlled by a third-party remote control system. The control system
will send API commands to the SoundStructure system to cause the SoundStructure system to take the
SoundStructure VoIP Interface offhook, dial digits, put calls on hold, resume calls, and more. A typical call
and control scenario with the user interacting with the touch screen is shown next.

This chapter describes in detail how to create a fully functional SoundStructure VoIP Interface-based
system. From a high-level perspective, there are only a few things that need to be done once you have the
proper firmware and version of SoundStructure Studio:
