Introduction _____________________________________________ If upgrading from TeleVantage 7, skip this chapter. Intel HMP requirements are unchanged. This chapter describes requirements for using Intel NetStructure Host Media Processing (Intel HMP) software to provide telephony resources for use by TeleVantage. Important: If you are using Intel Dialogic boards and drivers to provide telephony resources for TeleVantage (instead of Intel HMP), see Chapter 4, “Intel Dialogic Telephony Hardware and Software Requirements.”...
Ordering Intel HMP licenses To obtain an Intel HMP license, contact your TeleVantage provider. When your order an Intel HMP license, you will need to supply the following information: MAC address of the NIC on the TeleVantage Server. If your TeleVantage Server has two NICs, you can lock your Intel HMP license to either one.
Configuring Intel HMP resources via flexible licensing To determine the number and types of resources you need to support your system size, you need to account for the peak usage of these resources. For example, if the maximum number of trunk calls you need to support is 40, and at the same time you need to support a maximum 20 station calls, you will need 60 Basic RTP G.711 resources.
Page 21
The following table lists the resources that are available through flexible licensing. The maximum number of resources per license is 255. Note: Although Intel HMP 1.1 includes Speech Integration and T.38 Fax Termination resources, they are not currently supported in TeleVantage, and are not listed in the table. (Fax can be supported via SIP FXO or other gateway devices, as described in Chapter 14 of Administering TeleVantage.) Resource...
About Intel HMP license file names An Intel HMP license file name describes the type and number of resources supported by the license, as well as the license type, for example: 72r72v36e36c0s0f_ver.xml The file name format is: <# Basic RTP G.711 resources>r<# Voice resources>v<# Enhanced RTP resources>e<# Conferencing resources>c<# Speech integration resources>s<# T.38 Fax Termination resources>f_<License type>.xml The following abbreviations indicate the resource type:...
Introduction _____________________________________________ This chapter describes requirements for using Intel Dialogic telephony hardware and software to provide board-based telephony resources for use by TeleVantage. Make sure all these requirements are met before you begin the installation. Important: If you are using Intel HMP software to provide telephony resources for TeleVantage (instead of Intel Dialogic boards and drivers), see Chapter 3, “Intel HMP Requirements.”...
Trunk resources Trunk resources connect the TeleVantage Server PC to trunk lines from your telephone service provider. Intel Dialogic telephony boards provide trunk resources that support regular analog trunks, analog DID trunks, Centrex/PBX trunks, T1 trunks, E1 trunks, and ISDN BRI trunks. Station resources Station resources connect the TeleVantage Server PC to analog CLASS or ADSI phones, digital phones, and to other devices such as music-on-hold devices and paging systems.
Some TeleVantage features such as call recording will require RTP resources even for SIP-to-SIP calls. Note: A host-based VoIP stack is recommended for all new installations. You must use a host-based stack if any of the following apply to you. You plan to use the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to enable VoIP communications with SIP phones or softphones, SIP services, SIP carriers, or PSTN gateway devices.
Fax capability Some voice resources provide fax capability. TeleVantage does not use the fax capabilities of these voice resources, but will use these voice resources for normal voice resource activity such as playing or recording voice files. Note, however, that fax-capable voice resources on Intel Dialogic DM3 boards are not used in this way by TeleVantage.
Page 28
The following diagram illustrates the different PCI slot types. Regular 5-volt PCI boards fit into either the 32-bit or 64-bit 5-volt PCI slot. UPCI boards fit into any of the slots illustrated. Important: Some Intel Dialogic boards are available in both a PCI and UPCI version. In the tables in Appendix E hardware, these boards are identified with a model number that ends in U, for example, HDSI/480U, with a slot type of UPCI.
Page 29
Using the information in the Intel Dialogic Hardware Specification tables, add up the timeslots used by each board to make sure you do not exceed the maximum number of timeslots supported. For example, you cannot install 10 D/480SC-2T1 SCbus boards, and 5 MSI/80PCI-GBL CTbus boards, because the total number of timeslots required by this configuration is 1160, which exceeds the system limit of 1024 timeslots.

Note: The drivers for the Toshiba Strata DKTU station board are Windows native drivers that start automatically when Windows loads. To configure an ISDN or Robbed Bit T1 line, continue with the following sections. Configuring an ISDN line __________________________________ If you have an ISDN line, verify that it is working correctly before you proceed to the rest of the TeleVantage installation.
The method you use to configure Robbed Bit T1 signaling depends on how your carrier signals events: If your carrier uses only A and B bits for T1 Robbed Bit signaling, you can use the TeleVantage Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter to test the line, manually change bit settings, or import signaling templates via the TeleVantage Administrator.
Page 109
The default values that appear in the Experimenter are the E&M supervisory signaling protocols. If your Robbed Bit T1 line supports a supervisory signaling protocol other than E&M, you might need to modify events using information provided by your carrier. If you ordered ANI/DID/DNIS services on your Robbed Bit T1 line, you must customize the event signaling for digit collection.
Page 110
Under , make sure your digit collection setting matches the Collection Sequence sequence in which your carrier sends DID and ANI data to begin a call. Define the sequence by adding actions of the appropriate type, either Retrieve Digits , to match how your carrier sends the data. Click to choose each Filler Retrieve...

Q Send bit state. In this action, TeleVantage sends bits to the carrier. Select the that TeleVantage will send to the carrier. state Q Pause. In this action, TeleVantage waits for a specific number of milliseconds. Enter the in milliseconds. Timeout Q Retrieve digits.
Configuring Robbed Bit T1 signaling manually If your carrier uses C and D bits for Robbed Bit signaling, you must configure the C and D bits manually. Note: See Administering TeleVantage for information on adding a Robbed Bit T1 span. In the TeleVantage Administrator, edit the Robbed Bit T1 span in the Trunks view.
For example, if your carrier sends data in the format (where *AAAAAAAAAA*DDDD A is an ANI digit and D is a DID digit), add the following actions: Retrieve Digits Exactly 1 filler digit Exactly 10 ANI digits Exactly 1 filler digit Exactly 4 DID digits Click to add each new action to the digit collection sequence.
Testing individual bit states with the custom actions option Transmitting custom actions between you and your T1 carrier is a powerful troubleshooting tool. Use this tool while you are on the phone with your carrier to make sure that it is receiving what you send, and that you are receiving what it sends.

Trunk and voice resources on this board behave in the same way as E1 CAS trunks.
Identifying if you need more voice resources If all trunks are busy using voice resources (for example, leaving voice mail), and a user picks up a station, the user will not get a dial tone, and a voice resource error will be written to the Windows Event Log on the TeleVantage Server.

Q If you are using the beep on call recording feature. Beep on call recording requires one conference resource per call for its own use, in addition to any conference resources required to support the call participants. For example, with beep on call recording on a 2-person call, 3 conference resources are required—one for each participant, and one for the beep.
Conference maximums The following table lists the maximum number of conferences or maximum number of participants per conference. Important: For all boards listed in the table, the maximum number of participants may be reduced in the certain cases. If you are using the beep on call recording feature, the maximum number of participants per conference is reduced by one while the call is being recorded.
PPENDIX PPENDIX ONFIGURING NTEL IALOGIC ISDN P OARD ARAMETERS Some sites may need to modify the ISDN parameters used for outgoing calls so that their ISDN trunks will work with TeleVantage. To determine if you have a problem, do the following: Install Intel Dialogic hardware and software according to the instructions in this manual.
Using the Intel Dialogic Makecall Utility_______________________ The Intel Dialogic Makecall Utility (DMU) is a wizard that helps you make a successful outbound ISDN connection. For instructions on using the DMU, see its Help file, , in DMU.hlp directory. \DMU For an overview of the DMU, see the following document on the Intel Dialogic technical support website: http://resource.intel.com/telecom/support/appnotes/dmu/ The DMU is included on the Master CD in the...
