Dialogic® DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards Programmer's Manual Issue 5

Description:

This message is used during initialization (or re-configuration) by the application to reset a board and download the code file that contains the operating software for the board.

The download operation is supervised by the device driver that reads the binary format code file and transfers it to the board.

The confirmation message (if requested) indicates success by status of zero. This implies that the reset operation has commenced but does not imply completion. The application must then wait until a Board Status Indication is received. This indicates either successful completion of the reset and download operation or failure during the procedure.

Parameter Description:

board_type

The type of board to be reset. This must be set to 2 for DSI SPCI Boards.

phy_id

The physical ID for the DSI SPCI Board. This field must be set to the same value as the board_id. (i.e., 0 … one less than the number of boards supported).

code_file

Null terminated string giving the filename of the code file to be downloaded to the board.

run_mode

Number taken from the following table to indicate which protocols are to be run.

Note: It is only possible to activate protocols that have been licensed to run on the board by use of a suitable license button.

DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards specifications

Dialogic DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards are highly advanced and versatile communication solutions tailored for the demands of modern telephony and multimedia applications. These boards are designed to efficiently process voice, data, and signaling, making them an essential component for businesses looking to enhance their communication capabilities.

One of the standout features of the Dialogic DSI SPCI boards is their ability to handle multiple telephony protocols. This flexibility allows users to connect to various network types, whether PSTN, VoIP, or legacy systems, ensuring seamless interoperability. The boards support industry-standard protocols such as ISDN, SS7, and SIP, enabling integrated communication across diverse platforms.

The technology behind the Dialogic DSI SPCI boards incorporates state-of-the-art digital signal processing (DSP). This powerful DSP architecture provides efficient encoding and decoding of voice and video signals, leading to enhanced call quality and reduced latency. Moreover, the DSP technology supports advanced codecs, ensuring that voice communication is clear and intelligible, even over bandwidth-limited connections.

Another significant characteristic of these boards is their scalability. Organizations can start with a single board and expand their telecommunication capabilities as their needs grow. This scalability makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from small businesses to large enterprises, allowing for easy integration into existing infrastructures.

In addition to their powerful processing capabilities, Dialogic DSI SPCI boards also prioritize reliability and robustness. They are designed with a focus on fault tolerance, ensuring that telephony services remain uninterrupted even in the event of hardware failure. This resilience is critical for mission-critical applications where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss.

Furthermore, the boards feature extensive application development support. Developers can leverage the Dialogic API and various development kits to create custom telephony applications that meet specific business requirements. This programmability opens the door to innovative solutions, such as interactive voice response (IVR) systems, automated call distribution (ACD), and customer relationship management (CRM) integration.

In summary, Dialogic DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards are a cornerstone for organizations looking to innovate their telecommunication systems. With their support for multiple protocols, advanced DSP technology, scalability, reliability, and development support, these boards empower businesses to optimize their communication strategies and adapt to the evolving landscape of digital interaction.
