TelcoBridges and IVR capabilities
TelcoBridges products support IVR functionality via dedicated digital signal processor (DSP) chips, or via voice over IP (VoIP) chips.
- For release 2.4 and older, DSPs are required for any IVR functionality.
- With release 2.5, DSPs are required only for playing/recording, as digit/tone collection and generation can be handled using VoIP chips.
- With release 2.6 and above, IVR functionality can be entirely handled by VoIP chips.
Hardware IVR capabilities on TMedia products
- In the case of the Tmedia TMG3200, Tdev TMP6400, and Tmonitor TM1000, DSP or VoIP chips can be included during the initial purchase or added subsequently via hardware upgrade.
- In the case of the Tmedia TMG800 and Tdev TMP800, DSP chips are unavailable. VoIP chips can be included during the initial purchase or added subsequently via hardware upgrade.
Calculating the number of IVR channels required
The number of IVR channels required in a system depends on the type of calls handled by the system, and the type of IVR operations performed. Below we explain how to calculate IVR resources requirements.
IVR Hardware density
DSP chips
- Each DSP chip can provide 512 channels of IVR functionality (except when Play and Record are both used at the same time, where density is 300 channels per chip)
- Tmedia TMG3200 and Tdev TMP6400 can have between 1 and 4 DSP chips.
- Tmedia TMG800 and Tdev TMP800 cannot have DSP chips.
