SoundStructure System Requirements

12 - 4
• Compatible with many SIP call management platforms.
• Supports API command set for dialing, onhook, offhook, call hold, call
resume, call transfer, call blind transfer, call forward, call hangup, call
conference, call split, call join, and do not disturb.
• Easy to upgrade from an existing SoundStructure TEL1 or TEL2 system.
SoundStructure TEL1/TEL2 to SoundStructure VoIP Interface Considerations
To better understand how the SoundStructure VoIP Interface relates to a TEL1
and TEL2 interface card, consider the following points:
• One SoundStructure VoIP Interface may be used per SoundStructure
device, just like a TEL1 or a TEL2 interface card.
• A SoundStructure VoIP Interface works like the TEL1 interface and
supports one independent telephone call to the SoundStructure system.
Just like the TEL1, one independent call is sent to the SoundStructure
audio matrix. However, this one independent call can be the mix of two
remote participants. See the command examples at the end of this chapter
for more information on dialing two remote participants.
• Support for 12 "lines" means that 12 different extensions can be defined
for this card to provide different dial-in numbers for remote participants
if necessary.
• Supporting 24 call appearances means that 24 remote participants can be
dialed into the SoundStructure VoIP Interface and one remote participant
or a conference of two remote participants can be active and that mix of
remote participants sent to the SoundStructure system. All other call
appearances that are not part of the call sent to the SoundStructure VoIP
Interface would be on hold.
• The SoundStructure VoIP Interface supports calling more than one remote
participant in the same conference. This means that, if you are using a
TEL2 card to support dialing two remote parties into the same call, you
can also do this with the SoundStructure VoIP Interface. See the example
of calling two remote parties:
• Two independent calls are not supported on the SoundStructure VoIP
Interface. In other words, if you are using a TEL2 card to support two
independent telephone calls, such as for a split/combine room operation,
you will need two SoundStructure VoIP Interfaces.
To use the SoundStructure VoIP Interface, the following versions of software
are required. To get the latest software versions, please visit

system.
