Similarities Between IP Network Interface Series 2 and
VDAC-ONE Cards

Overview

A major requirement and goal for IP Network Interface Series 2 is to provide an easy migration path for VDAC-ONE customers. While 100 percent backwards compatibility is not possible, the following similarities exist between the IP Network Interface Series 2 and VDAC-ONE cards.

Host API Messages

There are no new host API messages created for the IP Network Interface Series 2 card.

Network Configuration

The network configuration using IP Address Configure (0x00E7) API message remains the same.

TDM Resource Provisioning

TDM resource provisioning remains the same.

VoIP Channels

All VoIP channels are translated into multiples of 32-channel spans.

Call Processing

Call processing using the Route Control (0x00E8) API message and the Outseize Control (0x002C) API message remains the same.

VoIP Resource Configuration

VoIP Resource Configuration using Resource Attribute Configure (0x00E3) API message remains the same.

Generated Alarms

All VDAC-ONE generated alarms are supported.

IP Network Interface
Series 2/VDAC-ONE Interoperability

The IP Network Interface Series 2 card is interoperable with the VDAC-ONE card using the default IP Network Interface Series 2, Profile 2 (G.711, G.723.1, G.729A/B and T.38.)

Internet Protocol. Part of the TCP/IP family of protocols used to route messages and tracks the addresses of nodes.
