    TPNCP (TrunkPack Network Control Protocol) is AudioCodes’ proprietary network-based protocol, enabling the MP-1xx Media Gateway to be controlled over the network using the same API as that used in the AudioCodes VoIPLib or PSTNLib over PCI. In other words, this is effectively VoIPLib or PSTNLib over the Network.
