The Net-2000™ VCU incorporates three voice compression modes to provide a variety of bit rates between 2.0 - 9.6 kbps. Along with the data rate flexibility the Net-2000™ VCU offers built-in Forward Error Correction (FEC), Voice Activity Detection (VAD), Comfort Noise Insertion (CNI), echo cancellation and DTMF capability.
RS-232 serial port can be used via telnet as a console terminal to allow low-level network setup. Net-2000™ modes of operation The Net-2000™ VCU provides the user with two modes of operation VOIP Mode and File Mode. To provide full duplex real-time communication, the Net-2000™ VCU can channel the compressed bit stream through either the RS-422 or the Ethernet interfaces to another Net-2000™...
There are no user settings. Just plug in the AC power cord provided into the AC receptacle on the back of the unit (See Figure 1 Net-2000™ VCU Rear Panel item 9) and plug the other end into an AC power outlet.
Mic, a Digital Tape, player or even a PC sound card output to the Analog Input jack of the Net-2000™ VCU (audio cables not included). Next connect the Analog Output jack of the Net-2000™ VCU to an amplifier or Audio In jack on a PC sound card.
The Synchronous RS-422 connection is available on the HD-15 connector located on rear panel of the Net-2000™ VCU and provides the data clock and 8 bit frames. For pinout detail see Section 5 Table 56 RS-422 Syncronous Serial Port Pin Outs The Asynchronous RS-422 connection is available on the RJ45 connector located on rear panel of the Net-2000™...
Rack Mount installation When a rack mount kit is purchased with the Net-2000™ VCU the assembly is installed at the factory prior to shipping. If the rack mount, needs to be removed there are three flat head Philips screws on each side that secures the rack mount plate to the Net-2000™...
Power On Switch The Net-2000™ VCU’s power is turned ON /Off through the switch on the left side of the front panel. Press the top of the switch (I) to turn ON. Press the bottom of the switch (0) to turn OFF. When powering off the unit always wait a few seconds before turning the unit back on.
When no DHCP server is available on a LAN the VCU’s RS-232 serial port can be used as a console terminal for low-level network setup. With the serial cable connected and the terminal running type a few carriage returns from the PC’s keyboard. The Net-2000™ VCU will respond with the console prompt as shown below: adsh>...
Serial Interface Commands The serial port located on the back of the Net-2000™ VCU unit provides the same control functions as the web interface. The interface itself consists of a simple command/response ASCII text protocol. To access the interface use a terminal or terminal emulator on a personal computer to type in commands.
-v l -c e -r AMBE2000,18 192.168.4.173 In this example the Net-2000™ VCU starts VOIP Mode using the 4-wire interface for voice and Ethernet for the channel using AMBE/AMBE+ rate 18. It communicates with the device at ethernet address 192.168.4.173 with the default UDP port (4000).
LAN has a name server) of the VCU you want to control in the URL address bar. The VCU web server will respond with the VCU Status Page as shown in Figure 6 Net-2000™ VCU Status Page. The Net-2000™ VCU’s built-in web server provides I/O configuration, system control, information about the operational mode and network settings.
Provides selection of I/O and vocoder. Also allows start and stop of process. File Mode Put the Net-2000™ VCU into a ready mode to accept files via Ethernet from a PC. Also allows start and stop of process. DVSI Confidential Proprietary Section 3 –...
Figure 8 Status Indication Net-2000™ is Idle The Net-2000™ VCU is idle when the unit is stopped. In this condition the unit is will be ready to process data through the encoder or decoder when the START button is selected.
Figure 10 Net-2000™ VOIP Settings Vocoder Type and Rate Selection Vocoder Type and rate/FEC selection is done from the VOIP Mode window. To set the Net-2000™ VCU vocoder, first select the vocoder mode (AMBE™ / AMBE+™ or AMBE+2™), then select the Rate / FEC using the Bit Rate drop down menu.
Table 6 AMBE+2 Data Rate Forward Error Correction (FEC) As part of the AMBE™ and AMBE+™ vocoder modes the Net-2000™ VCU offers built in FEC. These two vocoder modes offer a variety of FEC rates ranging from 50bps to 7200bps. High FEC rates enable the vocoder to maintain acceptable speech quality even at BER rates as high as 5%.
The Voice Source menu provides the user the choice to select which input source will be used on the Net-2000™ VCU. The default source is set to Handset. Only one source may be selected at a time. After switching from one voice source to another it is necessary to select the start button in order to initiate the change.
Section 5 for connector pinout details. In VOIP mode the Net-2000™ VCU also transmits packets over the asynchronous RS-422 interface when the Ethernet interface is the channel source. This is a useful method to monitor the Net-2000™ VCU channel data.
The Voice Activation Detection (VAD) algorithm along with the Comfort Noise Insertion (CNI) feature of the NET-2000™ VCU is a useful function for systems trying to save in system bandwidth or to reduce transmit power during times of conversational silence.
2-wire interface. 2-Wire Wait on Ring The 2-Wire wait on ring feature allows the Net-2000™ VCU to be ready to answer an incoming call from a standard POTS line. When selected the Net-2000™ VCU will not automatically open the POTS line when the 2-Wire voice source is selected.

DTMF tone data in the frame. Decoder Radio Button When the send button is selected and the Decoder radio button is active then the Net-2000™ VCU sends tone directly to the local decoder to output the digits as entered in the DTMF digit window. The decoder and encoder radio button can not be active at the same time.
The PC program can run in Windows command prompt (DOS) window. It is comprised of commands that contain the name of the file to be run and the address of the Net-2000™ VCU that will process it. the Net-2000™ VCU can process one file at a time. Customized PC software can be written using the Protocol information that is described in section 4.
User’s Manual The File mode Start / Stop button is the only method for taking the Net-2000™ VCU out of file mode. When the File Mode Stop button is selected the Net-2000™ VCU is put in an idle mode waiting for a command.
Net-2000™ VCU automatically stops and reboots to implement the new settings that were entered. Version Identification Selecting the Version Page will display a window with the current software version of the Net-2000™ VCU. There are no user definable settings on this page.

Valid port numbers are greater than 1024 and less than 65535. Protocol Packet Description The Ethernet protocol of the Net-2000™ VCU’s uses port 4000. Byte order for all 16-bit data types (“short” in the C-language data structure) is network order (big endian), so bytes with lower indexes are the most significant.
All other formats are invalid. Encode Command Packet To run an encoding communications session the Net-2000™ VCU must receive Encode command packets (Table 23 Encode command packet) from the control PC. Encode command packets need to contain 8 kHz voice data in either 16-bit linear, 8-bit A-law, or 8-bit µ-law format and the control flags and data needed to run the encoder.
Net-2000™ Voice Codec Unit User’s Manual Upon receipt of an Encode command packet the Net-2000™ VCU begins encoding the data by calling the appropriate vocoder software interface function. At the same time the VCU responds with a Channel response packet (Table 45 Channel Response Packet). The format of the Channel response packet is discussed in the Channel response section below.
User’s Manual Decode Command Packet The Net-2000™ VCU can receive Decode command packets (Table 25 Decode Command Packet) from a PC to decode files. Decode packets contain the channel data for one frame of voice and the control flags and data needed to run the decoder.
A-law coders do not support any of them. The Net-2000™ VCU responds to an Decoder command packet with a Voice response packet (Table 47 Voice Response Packet). The Voice response packet contains the voice data output by ambe voice dec().
The cmode element of the packet contains the input flags to the encoder when it is transmitted to the VCU and the output flags of the decoder when it is transmitted from the VCU. The value of cmode DVSI Confidential Proprietary Section 3 – Net-2000™ VCU Control Byte 0 Byte 1...
