This feature provides a set of default AGC parameters as well as the ability to configure these AGC parameters on an individual DM3 board basis. Assuming a given DM3 board uses an encoder that supports AGC, AGC is configured via the DM3 board's *.config file.

This feature supports the following coders:

NOTE:
For more information about the use of these parameters, see the DM3 Configuration File Reference.

Country specific parameters are selectable within the Intel Dialogic Configuration Manager (DCM). For information on availability of specific country/region support, contact your Dialogic Sales Representative.

NOTE:
A table of these parameters is available in the Support Tables section of this guide.

European Union (EU) parameters are used with the following D/41 country-specific derivative boards and must be installed using the Intel DCM configuration utility:

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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:
  1. 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.

This feature provides limited H.100 support for SpringWare products as follows:

The above software features are supported on the following boards:

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.

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 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:

This feature affects all Dialogic boards installed on a chassis running Dialogic System Software.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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:

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.

The HDSI series of products provide the following features and benefits:

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.

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.

The following countries are supported on the HDSI/1200:

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.

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.
