DM3 CompactPCI Hot Swap
This release supports controlled Hot Swap for 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 Intel Dialogic System Service. The restrictions and limitations that apply to this feature are described in the following Hot Swap procedure:
- The System Administrator must inform the run-time application that the physical DM3 cPCI board is being removed from the system. The protocol for doing this must be implemented by the run-time application developer.
- The run-time application must stop all activity on the virtual devices associated with the DM3 cPCI board that is being removed and then close all associated devices. SR 5.1 provides no programmatic method to track the relationship between virtual devices and physical boards. The run-time application must keep this map.
- When all virtual devices associated with the DM3 cPCI board that is being removed are closed, use the Stop Device option from the Intel DCM Action menu to stop the DM3 cPCI board.
- After the Intel DCM has stopped the DM3 cPCI board (the board's icon will appear red in the Intel DCM Main Window), the System Administrator may do either of the following:
- Use the Start Device option from the DCM Action menu to re-download the firmware to the board (if the same board is being restarted due to a software failure)
- Physically remove the board from the system, replace it with an identical board model and use the Start Device option from the DCM Action menu to restart the new board.
- After the physical board has been started, the administrator must inform the application that new virtual devices are present. The application must then re-open the virtual devices for the physical board. Since the removed board has been replaced with an identical board model, the virtual device names associated with the new board will be the same as the previous board's device names. In a future release this will be provided programmatically and the application should not assume that the name will remain the same.
- NOTES:
- 1: For more information about DM3 CompactPCI Hot Swap, see either
the System Release Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows or the
DCM Online Help.
- 2: For more information about the NCM_StopBoard ( ) and NCM_StartBoard
( ) functions, see the Customization Tools for Installation and Configuration
for Windows.
H.100 CT Bus Support for SpringWare Products
H.100 CT Bus Support Software Features
This feature provides limited H.100 support for SpringWare products as follows:
- 8MHz
- 4096 time slots
- Third party board support (no clock fallback)
- SCbus compatibility mode
H.100 CT Bus Support Hardware Features
The above software features are supported on the following boards:
- D/120JCT-LS
- D/240JCT-T1
- D/300JCT-E1
- D/480JCT-1T1
- D/480JCT-2T1
- D/600JCT-1E1
- D/600JCT-2E1
- D/41JCT-LS
Improved Multiple Board Initialization Time
The DM3 Download process is invoked when the Intel Dialogic System Service is started. Prior to the introduction of this feature, the downloading for each DM3 board had to be done serially (sequentially).
The new Parallel Download process for each board is done in parallel to reduce the initialization time. DM3config.exe downloads all of the boards in parallel by creating a thread for downloading each board. Tests have shown a 67.5% performance improvement when several boards were downloaded in parallel compared to the sequential process.
This feature is available on all DM3 boards. No action is required to enable this feature.
Licensing for SpringWare Products
Although many of our SpringWare products will be pre-enabled for DSP-based
Fax and Continuous Speech Processing), some of the older boards may need to
be enabled for these products or for DPNSS or Global DPD through our Feature
Enablement utility. In those cases, please refer to the Dialogic Technical Support
website at http://support.dialogic.com
for specific information.
Selective Startup Mode
Selective Startup mode provides the ability to continue downloading a group (or set) of DM3 boards regardless of a single board failure. The Intel DCM Service menu contains a Start Devices Preference option. The Start Devices Preference option allows you to determine whether or not all Dialogic boards must successfully download the Dialogic firmware before the Intel Dialogic System Service starts. The Start Devices Preference option has the following settings:
- Start All Devices or Start None causes the Intel Dialogic System Service to start only if all Dialogic boards have downloaded the firmware. If at least one board fails to download, the Intel Dialogic System Service will not start.
- Start Selective (Good Devices Only) allows the Intel Dialogic System Service to start even if one or more Dialogic boards fail to download the firmware. The Intel DCM will bypass the problematic board(s) and the Intel Dialogic System Service will start.
This feature affects all Dialogic boards installed on a chassis running Dialogic System Software.

Improved
Fast Start Compatibility
Beginning with this release, 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. Refer to the Coder Configurations
section of this document for the coder configurations supported in this release.
Fast Start may be disabled by the H323_PrmForceSlowStart parameter. See
Disable Fast Start Parameter for more information.
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.
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.
New Demos
The following demos are included in this release:
- IPT Media Gateway Demo (R4 based IP Gateway)
- IPTMail_R4 Demo (R4 based Voice Mail)
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.
The following paragraphs describe these new 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
Windows for more information about Flexible Routing.

High Density Station Interface (HDSI)
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. The Dialogic High Density Station Interface offers the industry's highest density analog station connectivity in a single PCI slot. Dialogic also offers this solution in a Compact PCI (cPCI) configuration using a single HDSI-cPCI board assembly (consisting of a cPCI Baseboard and a Rear I/O Module).
The HDSI is a Dialogic assembly consisting of a Station Interface Box (SIB) connected to an HDSI-PCI board with H.100 compliant CT Bus connectivity (or to an HDSI-cPCI board assembly with H.110 compliant CT Bus connectivity). (The CT Bus provides switching between trunks and stations and also allows expansion for additional Dialogic network and resource boards.) Utilizing just one Dialogic PCI board (or one Dialogic HDSI-cPCI board assembly), this solution can support up to 120 stations with tone detection and generation, and FSK Caller ID transmission. This product uses the Dialogic R4 on DM3 interface to provide support for the Dialogic existing Modular Station Interface (MSI) R4 API, as well as the Voice (dx_) R4 API (for tone detection and generation).
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. The SIB features a "hot swap" capability, which allows you to break and re-establish connections to the HDSI-PCI board (or to the HDSI-cPCI board assembly) without powering down or rebooting the system.
New Features
We have added an optional PCD configuration that adds play and record support similar to that found in Media Load 1 (as seen on MediaSpan products). However, this feature is limited as follows:
- Fixed routing only
- No transaction record support
- Limited to 96 stations (HDSI-960/PCI and cPCI only).
The 20Hz, 25Hz and 50Hz ring frequencies are now supported using the country-specific configuration files.
- NOTE:
- For more detailed information, refer to the DM3 Configuration File
Reference.
Existing Features
The HDSI series of products provide the following features and benefits:
- HDSI-cPCI board assembly
- H.110 compliant CT Bus connectivity
- An enhanced, modular design enabling you to deploy configurations of 48, 72, 96, and 120 station interfaces utilizing a single PCI slot.
- H.100 compliant CT Bus connectivity, which provides switching between trunks and stations and allows you to share resources
- On-board tone generation
- On-board DTMF detection
- FSK send Caller ID support
- FSK Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) support (on-hook only)
- Programmable ring cadence options
- The capability to ring telephones with a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of two, per station
- The SIB provides battery power to station sets
- Unobtrusive monitoring of connections
- Since HDSI does not have a PSTN interface, there are no protocols such as T-1 CAS. The table is for the hardware characteristics of telephones from different countries. Refer to the table in the MSI Boards Country Specific Parameter Files section below for the country codes.
- NOTES:
- 1: (country)_hdsi configurations provide station with dedicated
tone-only channels (fixed routing). Tone-only channels provide dialing and
digit detection but cannot perform play or record.
- 2: (country)_hdsi_96_play configurations provide 96 stations with
dedicated voice channels (fixed routing). These voice channels provide Media
Load equivalent functionality however (1) they use fixed routing and (2) don't
support transaction record.
- Programmable channel volume control from the application
- Support for two configurations: Up to 96 channels of tone + voice support or up to 120 channels of tone only support.
This product utilizes the Dialogic R4 on DM3 interface to provide support for the existing Dialogic Modular Station Interface (MSI) R4 API, as well as the Voice (dx_) R4 API (for tone detection and generation).
- NOTE:
- For more information about API restrictions, refer to the Compatibility
Guide for the Dialogic R4 API on DM3 Products for Windows.

Existing Features
SpringWare Features
The following features were Existing 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 when significant energy (indicating that voice is present) is detected 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 use an echo-reference signal from another device across the TDM bus with the CSP voice channel.
- 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:

- NOTE:
- Please refer to the Supported Hardware section of this release guide for
detailed information regarding these boards.
DM3 Features
CSP supports the following 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.
CSP-Supported DM3 Boards
The following DM3 hardware support CSP:
- MediaSpan Boards
- DM/V480A-2T1-PCI

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.
- GlobalCall NetTSC Embedded Resource Support - The GlobalCall API now supports the development of voice over IP (VoIP) applications when using the embedded H.323 stack (NetTSP). GlobalCall support for split call control applications is not available in this release.
- NOTES:
- 1: See the GlobalCall IP Technology User's Guide for more information
about using GlobalCall to develop VoIP applications.
- 2: A porting guide, Porting Voice over IP Applications from the
DM3 Direct Interface to GlobalCall, will be available soon, providing guidelines
for converting existing applications to GlobalCall.
Existing Features
The following sections are existing GlobalCall features:
- General Features
- GlobalCall DM3 Hardware Compatibility
- GlobalCall Protocols
- NOTES:
- 1: See the GlobalCall Application Developer's Guide for additional
information.
- 2: Many of these features are not supported when using GlobalCall
with DM3 products. See the Compatibility Guide for the Dialogic R4 API on
DM3 Products for Windows for more information.
General Features
The following DM3 features are supported in this release:
- 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 SpringWare features are supported 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.
- NOTE:
- See the GlobalCall Application Development Guide for more information regarding

DM3 Direct Interface (MNTI) Error Code Enhancements
Existing Features
Certain board error codes have been modified to provide more descriptive return codes for improved error handling. In previous releases, the same error codes were generated as a result of different function calls. This enhancement provides unique error codes for the affected DM3 Direct Interface (MNTI) library functions.
- NOTE:
- DM3 resource and host application developers should not use board error
codes to make logical decisions in source code. These board error codes should
be used for debugging and information purposes only.
You must update your application if it is designed to process the QCLUST_ErrNoSlots
board error code because this error code is no longer supported. It has been
replaced with a set of unique error codes which range from QCLUST_ErrNoSlots1
(0x0280F4) to QCLUST_ErrNoSlots7 (0x0280FA). For more details, see the DM3 Kernel
error header file, qkernerr.h.
The following DM3 Direct Interface (MNTI) library functions have been modified. In previous releases, both functions returned the error code QCLUST_ErrNoSlots.
- mntClusterSlotInfo( ) now returns error code QCLUST_ErrNoSlots2
- mntClusterTSUnassign( ) now returns error code QCLUST_ErrNoSlots1
Similarly, the board error code QCLUST_ErrUnknown has been replaced with a
set of unique error codes which range from QCLUST_ErrUnknown_01 (0x0280D6) to
QCLUST_ErrUnknown_12 (0x0280E2). You must update your application if it is designed
to process the QCLUST_ErrUnknown board error code. These error codes should
not be used by applications to make logical decisions. They should be used for
information purposes only. For more details, see the DM3 Kernel error header
file, qkernerr.h.
dm3post
Existing Feature
The dm3post diagnostic tool, sometimes referred to as "POST On-Demand,"
