VOIP-MG-H7 Card
Description
The VOIP-MG-H7 card is a media gateway card which converts TDM services
into VoIP, in order to support an interface to Next Generation Networks. The card
terminates TDM calls, and converts voice and voiceband data into IP packets (and
vice versa). It also incorporates standard H.248 signaling protocols to handle the
calls. The VOIP-MG-H7 card includes VoIP Media Processing units, which
perform the media conversion, and a control unit, which handles the signaling
interface to the softswitch and performs the call control and management
mediation.
The IP-UL-x series card can be used together with the VOIP-MG-H7 card when a
single physical uplink is required for both VoIP & DSL data traffic, and/or if the
physical uplink type required for the VoIP is Gigabit Ethernet (electrical or
optical) which is not supported directly on the
VOIP-MG-H7 card.
