Mixing DSP Cards in a CSP

Compatibility

an MFDSP card may NOT reside in the same chassis as a DSP Series 2 card.

Card Combinations

Compatible?

MFDSP and DSP-ONE

Yes

Yes

MFDSP and DSP Series 2

No

Function Allocation

In CSPs that use both the DSP-ONE and DSP Series 2 card, DTMF, MFR1, MFR2, and CPT transmitters all use resources from the DSP-ONE first if it is configured for them. The RAN Connect message always uses resources from the DSP-ONE card first. Receivers and Bong Tone are assigned in a round-robin fashion. The chip with the most resources available gets Dynamic Conferencing and Clamped Conferencing first. The chip with the least resources available gets Static Conferencing and Monitor Conferencing first.

DSP-ONE and DSP 2 Sample Configuration 1

The following sample configuration illustrates an CSP with one DSP Series 2 card (with one module) and one DSP-ONE card (with 2 modules)

DSP-ONE card with two DSP Modules

Seven DSPs DTMF Detection = 154 Ports

Seven DSPs CPA Detection = 140 Ports

One DSP DTMF Generation = 2,048 Ports

One DSP CPA Generation = 2,048 Ports

DSP Series 2 card with one DSP Module

Two DSPs DTMF Detection and Tone Generation = 1,024 Ports of DTMF Detection, and 1,024 Ports of any tone generation

Two DSPs CPA Detection and Tone Generation = 1,024 Ports of CPA detection, and 1,024 ports of any tone generation

DSP-ONE and DSP 2 Sample Configuration 2

The following sample configuration illustrates an CSP with one DSP Series 2 card with one module, and one DSP-ONE card with two VRAS modules.

DSP-ONE card with two VRAS Modules

Three DSPs DTMF Detection = 66 Ports

Three DSPs CPA Detection = 60 Ports

One DSP DTMF Generation = 2,048 Ports

One DSP CPA Generation = 2,048 Ports

Two VRAS = 104 minutes of announcements and 110 simultaneous channels

DSP Series 2 card with one DSP Module

Three/two DSP DTMF Detection = 768 Ports

Three/two DSP CPA Detection = 768 Ports

One DSP Record/Playback = Virtually unlimited announcement storage, 128 simultaneous channels.
