Multimedia Channels In The Callpilot Server - Nortel Meridian 1000 Configuration Manual

CallPilot and CS 1000 connectivity overview

Multimedia channels in the CallPilot server

Multimedia Processing Units
In addition to the CPU processing power required by CallPilot, calls that are
received by CallPilot require DSP processing power to support the voice, fax, and
speech recognition features. DSP processing power is provided by Multimedia
Processing Units (MPUs) in the CallPilot server. MPUs are provided by the
following CallPilot hardware:
MPB boards (MPB16-4 for the 1002rp server only, or MPB96)
MPC-8 cards (if MPB16-4 boards are used)
Types of multimedia channels
Certain types of media require more channel resources to process them. As a result,
three types of multimedia channels handle the various types of CallPilot services.
Each type of channel terminates on a different number of MPUs, based on how much
processing power is required. For example, integrated fax and voice data takes twice
as much processing power as voice-only media. A fax channel, therefore, terminates
on two MPUs.

Number
of MPUs Description
1 One voice channel requires one MPU.
2 Fax requires twice as much processing power
as voice-only media, and, therefore, requires
two MPUs for one fax channel.
4 Speech recognition requires four times as
much processing power as voice-only media,
and, therefore, requires four MPUs for one
speech recognition channel.
