IP CCIS Peer-to-Peer Connections
Peer-to-peer connections over CCIS Networking via IP are available when the distant systems are
2000 IPS or 2400 IPX supporting peer-to-peer connections. The built-in IP trunks (CCH) on the MP
card are assigned with the Virtual Application Processors (AP), and can support up to 127 trunks per
system. One Virtual AP can support up to 64 trunks, and up to two Virtual APs can be assigned per
system.
The 8 IPLA IP PAD is required for connections between legacy stations/trunks, IP terminals and legacy
stations/trunks over the CCIS networking via IP. The IP-PAD converts voice packet data to PCM
signals, and one IP-PAD can provide 8 PCM channels or one 8 IPLA plus one 24 IPLA can provide 32
PCM channels. The number of IP-PADs depends on the traffic volume of those connections, and up to
eight 8 IPLA IP PADs with 24 IPLA daughter boards can be accommodated per system, thus providing
256 PCM channels in total. Up to two IP-PADs can be controlled by the MP without FP cards, and
additional IP-PADs can be controlled by the FP cards (two IP-PADs per FP card).
Note: Legacy stations/trunks means the ones connected to the Time Division Switch (TDSW). Examples of
legacy station/trunk cards are LC, DLC, COT, PRT, CCT, DTI, etc
Voice Compression
Voice compression is available for CCIS networking via IP to/from legacy stations/trunks.
The following type of voice compression is available:
G.711 (64Kbps)
G.729a (8Kbps)
G.723.1 (5.3Kbps/6.3Kbps)
Voice compression can be assigned on a call basis or terminal basis, by system programming.
The 8 IPLA IP-PAD and the 24 IPLA daughter board both have built-in VCT capability to provide voice
compression which is required for G.729a and G.723.1.
Service Conditions
Intranet must be used for a CCIS network via IP. (Internet is not supported.)
Maximum number of nodes in the CCIS network via IP is 255.
All CCIS features are available in the CCIS networking via IP.
When T1 timeout of IAI is occurred, an outgoing CCIS call can be routed over alternate trunk
route. This alternate routing can be allowed or denied on a trunk route basis by system
programming.
Note: The alternate routing is not available for tandem calls.
