New Features

The new features introduced in this release are broken out into the following categories:

• Administrative Software Features
• Hardware Product Features
• Development Software Features
• Diagnostic and Utilities Features

Administrative Software Features

The following new Administration features are available in this release:

• New Administrative Commands
• DM3 cPCI Like for Like Replacement
• Selective Startup Mode (MultiBoard Download)
• SNMP Support for DS1/ISDN
• New Standard Runtime Library (SRL) Functions

New Administrative Commands

The following new administrative commands are available:

• The detect command prints a list of all boards in the system along with their bus and slot number, addressable unit identifier (AUID), and other information.
• The tbmodify command allows the system administrator to remove a board from the telephony bus or add a board to the telephony bus from the command line.

NOTE:

For further information about these commands, see the System Release 5.1 for Linux Software Installation Guide.

DM3 cPCI Like for Like Replacement

This release supports controlled Like for Like Replacement of any DM3 CompactPCI (cPCI) board. This feature allows you to physically remove a DM3 cPCI board from the system and replace it with an identical device model without shutting down the Dialogic System Service. In order to utilize this capability, the board must be pre-configured and restarted after replacement.

NOTE:

For more information about this feature, see the System Release 5.1 for Linux Software Installation Guide.

Selective Startup Mode (MultiBoard Download)

Selective Startup Mode provides the ability to continue initializing a group (or set) of DM3 boards regardless of a single board failure. This means that download and initialization of the system will continue to occur even when 1 or more DM3 boards fail to initialize properly. Some Examples:

• On a 10 board system, one board fails, nine are still available.
• On a 10 board system, nine fail to download, one is still available.

In those cases where the DM3 board is acting as the clock master in a mixed system, if no DM3 board is able to provide clock (i.e., all fail to download), then the SpringWare boards will fail to initialize as well. In all other cases, the SpringWare boards will not be affected by the failure of a DM3 board to initialize.

In those cases where the SpringWare board is acting as the clock master in a mixed system, if no SpringWare board is able to provide clock (i.e., all fail to download), then the DM3 boards will fail to initialize as well. In all other cases, the DM3 will not be affected by the failure of a SpringWare board to initialize.

However, if in the mixed system one of the SpringWare boards is Master Clock capable, and all of the DM3 boards have failed to start, the system will continue to initialize the other SpringWare boards.

This capability is enabled only for those systems with at least two DM3 boards.

SNMP Support for DS1/ISDN

BoardWatch now offers MIB (Management Information Base) modules for DS1 and ISDN:

• The DS-1module provides management stations with an interface to review DS-1 trunk lines, monitor their status, and report fault conditions using a SNMP trap. It also provides a 24-hour historical fault metrics log in the current, interval, and total tables.
• The ISDN module provides management stations with an interface to review ISDN B- and D-channels, monitor their status, and report fault conditions using SNMP traps.

NOTE:

Please refer to the BoardWatch User's Guide for Linux for more information regarding this feature.

SRL Device Mapper Functions

SRL Device Mapper functions are contained in the SRL Device Mapper Library Interface (SDM API), a subset of the Dialogic Standard Runtime Library for Linux (SRL). They return information about the structure of the system, such as a list of all the virtual boards on a physical board. The SDM API works for any component that exposes R4 devices.

The SRL Device Mapper functions return information about the structure of the system based upon the following conventions:

• A physical board owns zero or more virtual boards.
• A virtual board owns zero or more sub devices.
• A virtual board is an R4 device.
• A sub device is an R4 device.
• One or more jacks are associated with one or more R4 devices.

The SRL Device Mapper functions and the information they return are listed below.

• SRLGetAllPhysicalBoards( )--retrieves a list of all physical boards in a node
• SRLGetVirtualBoardsOnPhysicalBoard( )--retrieves a list of all virtual boards on a physical board
• SRLGetSubDevicesOnVirtualBoard( )--retrieves a list of all sub devices on a virtual board
• SRLGetJackForR4Device( )--retrieves the jack number of an R4 device

NOTES:

1: The SDM API provides a set of atomic transforms, such as a list of all virtual boards on a physical board. For more complicated transforms, such as information about all the sub devices on a physical board, combine multiple SRL Device Mapper functions.

2: For more detailed information about the SRL Device Mapper Library Interface, see the Voice Software Reference: Standard Runtime Library for Linux.

IPLink New Features

The following new features are available for the first time in this release and are described in detail below:

• GlobalCall Support for IP and PSTN
• Improved Fast Start Compatibility
• Disable Fast Start Parameter
• IP Media Library
• CauseReason Field in H.323 ReleaseComplete Message
• Type of Service Byte
• New RTCP Time Parameters
• Support for Flexible Routing

GlobalCall Support for IP and PSTN

GlobalCall API now supports writing voice over IP applications when using the Embedded H.323 stack (NetTSP). GlobalCall support for split call control applications is not available in this release.

NOTE:

See the GlobalCall IP Technology User's Guide for a complete description of how to use the GlobalCall library for voice over IP applications.

Improved Fast Start Compatibility

IPLink declares only maximum capabilities per coder in the Fast Start Element (FSE) when in Fast Start mode. If IPLink receives an FSE in the SETUP message and the capabilities do not match, it switches to the Slow Start procedure and opens an H.245 session, and retries capability negotiation with all the possible coder attributes. Fast Start may be disabled by the H323_PrmForceSlowStart parameter.

Disable Fast Start Parameter

The H323_PrmForceSlowStart parameter disables the H.323 Fast Start and forces the gateway to use the call establishment procedure as in H.323 Rev. 1. This parameter must be manually added to the FCD file.

NOTE:

See the DM3 IPLink User's Guide for a description of this parameter and the DM3 Configuration File Reference for information about how to modify configuration parameters.

IP Media Library

The IP Media Library is an R4 compatible library for controlling media on IP devices (ipvs_*.pcd). Host-based call control applications that use call control stacks other than those supplied with IPLink use this library for application development.

The IP Media Library supports:

• System Control Functions - manage channel, parameter and event operations
• Input/Output Functions - transfer digits and data
• Media Session Functions - perform session management
• Quality of Service (QoS) Functions - control QoS alarms and alarm thresholds

NOTE:

See the IP Media API Software Reference for a complete description of the library.

CauseReason Field in H.323 ReleaseComplete Message

This release allows the application to define the ReleaseCompleteReason, selecting either Q.931 Cause or H.225.0 ReleaseCompleteReason as its disconnect reason mechanism.

A new parameter, prmStandardDisconnectReasonEnabled, has been added to the FCD file to allow the application to select how to implement the disconnect reason mechanism.

NOTE:

See the DM3 IPLink User's Guide for a description of this parameter.

Demo

The following IPLink demo is included in this release:

• Gateway demo using GlobalCall and R4

Type of Service Byte

Applications can modify the Type of Service byte in the IP header of the transmitted datagrams to improve the mobility of the UDP/TCP packets.

NOTE:

See the DM3 IPLink User's Guide for a complete description.

New RTCP Time Parameters

The following paragraphs describe new time parameters:

• RTCP Time Interval - The RTCP Time Interval parameter (PrmRTCPTimeInterval) allows changing the RTCP interval between two adjacent RTCP packets.
• RTCP Timeout - The RTCP Timeout parameter (PrmRTCPTimeout) enables configuring the maximum interval after which, if no RTCP packets are received, the call is disconnected.

Support for Flexible Routing

Flexible Routing is now available for all IPLink protocols. PCD files are identified by "evr" (exportable voice resources) in the file name.

NOTE:

See the Compatibility Guide for the Dialogic R4 API on DM3 Products for Linux for more information about Flexible Routing.

High Density Station Interface (HDSI) Products

The Dialogic High Density Station Interface (HDSI) is an open-architecture platform for computer telephony that integrates large-scale switching and voice processing resources under a single hardware and software architecture. Dialogic offers the High Density Station Interface solution in both PCI and Compact PCI (cPCI) configurations, which provide the industry's highest density analog station connectivity in a single computer chassis slot.

The HDSI is a Dialogic assembly consisting of either an HDSI-PCI board with H.100 compliant CT Bus connectivity, or an HDSI-cPCI board assembly (including a cPCI Baseboard and a Rear I/O Module) with H.110 compliant CT Bus connectivity, connected to a Station Interface Box (SIB). (The CT Bus provides switching between trunks and stations and also allows expansion for additional Dialogic network and resource boards.) Utilizing just one computer chassis slot, this solution can support up to 120 stations with tone detection and generation, and FSK Caller ID transmission.

The Dialogic Station Interface Box is a single unit that supports 48 stations in the base model configuration. However, the SIB is a modular unit that is designed to accept Dialogic plug-in components to accommodate 72, 96, and 120 stations.

Continuous Speech Processing (CSP)

Continuous Speech Processing (CSP) is software that supports development of host-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) applications on specific Dialogic boards. It provides many features such as high-performance echo cancellation, voice energy detection, barge-in, voice event signaling, pre-speech buffering, full-duplex operation and more.

The CSP software consists of library functions, device drivers, firmware, and sample demonstration programs.

In this release, CSP is supported on the J-series SpringWare-based products and specific DM3 boards.

NOTE:

To run CSP on DM3 boards, please refer to the DM3 Media Loads section.

SpringWare Features

The following features are available on SpringWare boards:

• Full Duplex Operation: for each voice channel supported, the application can simultaneously send and receive voice data.
• Echo Cancellation (EC): high-quality echo cancellation is provided to significantly reduce echo of the outgoing prompt that exists on the incoming signal.
• Voice Activity Detector (VAD): the ability to detect significant energy (indicating that voice is present) in the incoming voice data.
• Barge-In: when the VAD detects significant energy in the incoming voice data, CSP can optionally terminate prompts playing on that channel.
• Voice Event Signaling: when the VAD detects significant energy in the incoming voice data, CSP can optionally send a message to the host processor.
• Pre-speech Buffering: incoming voice data is stored in a circular buffer in the firmware. If the VAD detects significant energy, the buffer may be sent to the host for processing. In this case, the buffer would contain the initial portion of the speech that is useful to an ASR resource.
• Modifying certain voice activity detector (VAD) parameters on the fly: ability to modify certain VAD parameters, such as the speech threshold, while streaming or recording is in progress.
• Barge-in and play event generation: ability to generate both TDX_BARGEIN and TDX_PLAY events when a prompt is interrupted, rather than just TDX_BARGEIN event.
• Re-initializing the voice activity detector (VAD): ability to re-arm the VAD when non-speech, such as a cough, is detected.
• Use of an external reference signal: ability to send an echo-reference signal from another device across the TDM bus to the CSP voice channel. Using this feature allows you to share the echo canceller and VAD resource on one CSP voice channel with other devices.
• Unified API: the R4 API for CSP is the same regardless of the underlying hardware.

CSP-Supported SpringWare Boards

The following SpringWare boards support CSP:

• D/120JCT-LS

NOTE:

Please refer to the Supported Hardware section of this release guide for detailed information regarding these boards.

DM3 Features

CSP supports the same features as SpringWare plus the following new features on DM3:

• Echo canceller convergence event notification - ability to send an event to the host application when the echo canceller has converged (that is, the echo component has been significantly reduced). Using this feature provides an extra safeguard to help determine when echo-cancelled data is ready for further processing.
• More powerful voice activity detector (VAD) - on DM3 boards, the VAD performs sophisticated calculations using a combination of energy and zero-crossing mode (where the energy level goes to zero for a time period) to accurately determine the start of speech. The adaptive nature of the VAD on DM3 boards reduces the need to fine-tune VAD parameters.

GlobalCall 2.1

The following new features are supported on DM3 in this release:

• GlobalCall Support for IP - GlobalCall supports IP interfaces providing call control capabilities for establishing calls over an IP interface. For DM3 IPLink boards, GlobalCall supports a system configuration where the IP signaling stack is running as embedded software on the board with media streaming also handled by the board. This is supported for DM3 IPLink using NetTSC and the embedded RadVision H.323 stack.
• Selective Call Control Library Initialization - Enhancements to the gc_Start() function enable the application developer to specify which call control libraries should be started. Previously, all call control libraries were started regardless of the technology being used.
• Simplified Error Handling - Enables the retrieval of all error information in a single function call. The new gc_ErrorInfo() function retrieves all error information associated with a failed function and the new gc_ResultInfo() function retrieves all information associated with a GlobalCall event.

The following new features are only supported on SpringWare in this release:

• GlobalCall Call State Model Enhancements - GlobalCall maintains a generic call state model from which technology-specific call state models can be derived. The generic call state model maintains a consistent call control paradigm across all technologies supported by GlobalCall and has been enhanced to support overlap send and receive capabilities.
• GlobalCall Alarm Management System (GCAMS) - Supports the management of alarms generated by Alarm Source Objects (ASOs). An ASO can be a network library (such as the R4 DTI library), a call control library, or a component within a call control library. GCAMS enables a GlobalCall application to configure which alarms are blocking and non-blocking, of which alarms the application should be notified, and the flow of alarms (for example, first alarm on and last alarm off) to an application.
• GlobalCall Feature Transparency and Extension (FTE) - Provides the flexibility to extend the generic GlobalCall API to access all technology- or protocol-specific features unique to any given network interface that were previously accessible only through its native technology call control library. All technology-specific features may be accessed by the application via a single GlobalCall interface eliminating the need to use the underlying call control library APIs directly.

NOTE:

This is supported for DM3 IPLink using NetTSC and the embedded RadVision H.323 stack.

• GlobalCall Real Time Configuration Manager (RTCM) - Enables an application to retrieve or modify configuration data associated with network interfaces in real time. This includes the dynamic configuration of parameters associated with physical or logical entities (such as, a system, board, network interface, channel or call), protocol parameters (such as CDP parameters), or call control library parameters (such as the default call state mask value for a channel). In addition, RTCM allows an application to query for the ID that corresponds to the specified name. For example, retrieve the protocol ID given the protocol name or retrieve the CDP parameter ID given the CDP parameter name.

NOTE:

This is supported for DM3 IPLink using NetTSC and the embedded RadVision H.323 stack.

• GlobalCall Service Request (GCSR) - Enables a device to send a request to another remote device for some kind of service. Examples of services that may be requested are: device registration, channel setup, call setup, information requests, or operational requests. The service request feature can be used for device registration in BRI technology.

NOTE:

This feature is used by ISDN BRI and IP.

• PDKRT Support for Analog Protocols - Enhancements to the PDKRT call control library to support Analog PDK protocols.
• GlobalCall Basic Call Control Demo - A new demonstration program that exercises some of the capabilities of GlobalCall.

NOTES:

1: See the GlobalCall Application Development Guide for more information regarding this demo.

2: See the Compatibility Guide for the Dialogic R4 API on DM3 Products for Linux for more information regarding what is supported under SpringWare and what is supported on DM3..

• DM/IP boards support fixed or flexible routing.
• DM/VF boards support fixed or flexible routing.
• DM/F boards support flexible routing.
• HDSI supports fixed routing only.

EXAMPLES OF ROUTING TERMINOLOGY

NOTE:

The following paragraph refers to chapters found in the Compatibility Guide for the Dialogic R4 API on DM3 Products for Linux.

This release provides support for two types of routing configuration: fixed and flexible. Fixed routing, which was the only configuration available in previous system releases containing R4 on DM3, is a restricted routing, whereas flexible routing is compatible with the routing capabilities in the R4 API.
Since the routing configuration affects the routing capability and resource management features that are supported, both routing configurations are documented in the Compatibility Guide. The routing information in the Compatibility Guide is presented under the assumption that flexible routing will be used. However, because fixed routing is an option, information on fixed routing is provided.

R4 on DM3 supports two types of routing configuration:

• Fixed Routing Configuration: Applies only to DM3 boards. With fixed routing, the resource devices (voice/fax) and network interface devices are permanently coupled together in a fixed configuration. Only the network interface timeslot device has access to the CT Bus. For example, on a DM/V960-4T1 board, each voice resource channel device is permanently routed to a corresponding network interface timeslot device on the same physical board. The routing of these resource and network interface devices is predefined and static. The resource device also does not have access to the CT Bus and so cannot be routed independently on the CT Bus. No off-board sharing or exporting of voice/fax resources is allowed.
• Flexible Routing Configuration: This configuration is compatible with R4 API routing on earlier-generation boards; that is, earlier-generation boards use flexible routing. Flexible routing is available for DM3 boards starting with R4 on DM3 in System Release 5.1. With flexible routing, the resource devices (voice/fax) and network interface devices are independent, which allows exporting and sharing of the resources. All resources have access to the CT Bus. For example, on a DM/V960-4T1 board, each voice resource channel device and each network interface timeslot device can be independently routed on the CT Bus.

R4 ISDN Support for BRI Call Waiting

New support for Call Waiting supplementary service is provided for ISDN BRI according to CCITT Q.953 and ETS 300 058-1 specifications. This support allows a user to be notified of an incoming call (as per basic call procedures) with an indication that no information channel is available. The user then has the choice of accepting, rejecting or ignoring the incoming waiting call. Note that the support for sending a call waiting call is also provided for the Network Switch side of protocols. See the updated ISDN Software Reference for Dialogic R4 API usage (i.e. cc_MakeCall, cc_WaitCall, cc_GetChanId) for more information regarding this capability.

NOTE:

For NTT protocol users, the API cc_SetInfoElem( ) has to be used to override the default Channel ID IE content. This is required to comply with NTT specifications that stipulate the first reply to the SETUP message has to identify the B-channel on which the call is later conducted.

In order to enable DSP-based Fax boards that are not pre-enabled, you must download special firmware files. Please look at the following sections found in the Master Features section for the following information:

• The Firmware Load Support for SpringWare Table for specific instructions regarding firmware files.
• The SpringWare Support Table for details on what boards support DSP-based Fax.
• R4 Fax Features/DSP-Based Fax section for information about channel support.

MSI Boards Country Specific Parameter Files

Dialogic System Software allows you to configure MSI/SC-Global and MSI/PCI-Global boards to comply with country-specific settings for telephone line impedance and gain control.

MSI-Global country-specific parameter files follow an xx_msig.prm naming convention, where xx is the two-letter ISO country code.

NOTE:

Although the ISO Codes below are listed in upper case, please keep in mind that Linux is case sensitive. Therefore, be sure to enter these codes in lower case when specifying a parameter file..

Below are the ISO country codes. Those marked with an "*" are supported in this release:

DM3 ISDN NFAS

Non-Facility-Associated Signaling (NFAS) uses a single ISDN PRI D channel to provide signaling and control for up to 10 ISDN PRI lines. Normally, on an ISDN PRI line, one D channel is used for signaling and 23 B channels (bearer channels) are used for transferring information. In an NFAS configuration, therefore, one D channel can support the signaling and control for up to 239 B channels. The trunk that provides the signaling is called the primary D channel. The trunks that use all 24 channels as B channels are called NFAS trunks.

See the DM3 Configuration File Reference for detailed configuration information.

1. The following acronyms are used in this column: LS - analog loop start interface (this includes -EURO and JP models) PBX - PBX proprietary digital interface ISDN - primary rate ISDN interface protocols (see SpringWare PRI Protocol Support found later in this section) CAS - CAS protocols (requiring DSP resources for signaling) 2. DSP Fax and CSP can be mixed and matched on the VFX/41JCT-LS and D/41JCT-LS boards. They are not mutually exclusive as they are on all other SpringWare boards. 3. Enhanced DSP Fax includes 14.4 kbps send/receive, ECM and MMR support. 4. Basic DSP Fax is included with Enhanced DSP Fax.

NOTE:

The D/480JCT-T1 and D/600JCT-E1 are intended to support an ISDN firmware load on one span and a CSP firmware load on the other span. This gives the user a full span of ISDN interface with a full compliment of CSP.
