The '''A'''dvanced '''D'''evelopment '''B'''ranch currently known as Toolpack 2.5 is an advanced release of the Toolpack framework containing new APIs and functionalities. It is meant for system integrators and solution vendors requiring access to these new features and system calls to engage their development or testing process. The traditional release cycle has been accelerated to allow an early access of these new features and reduce the development cycle of our customers' systems. They can now build and test their new application in lab while synchronizing the release of the complete system with TelcoBridges' release of the final Toolpack 2.5 branch.

Toolpack version 2.5 provides the following new features:

This branch went through the standard TelcoBridges Q&A process to insure that critical portions of the product are stable (i.e. installation, migration, system startup, configuration). However, in order to bring the functionality into the hands of developing customers earlier, there are a few important differences between an Advanced Development Branch and a regular product branch:
+
 
+
*The main focus for the Advanced Development Branch is to deliver a specific feature set to developer. Complete regression testing and cross-dependency tests may have been omitted.
+
*Q&A will not have covered testing on all supported OSes. Only a few have been targeted.
+
*Although TelcoBridges has invested large effort to run Q&A tests and fixes across the complete Toolpack feature set, some features or options may not be fully working. Any blocking issue for testing can be addressed through the support department using the regular process.
+
*The Advanced Development Branch is [[NOT]] to be installed in a production setup. It is meant for lab integration, development and testing only. Deploying a system using that branch is not recommenced and the customer will do it as his own risks. Please contact TelcoBridges' support up-front in case an early deployment is desired.
+
*Although TelcoBridges will try to minimizes the changes, subsequent releases of the advanced development branch may include API and service affecting behavior changes which is not usually permitted between minor releases of a normal branch.
+
*Eventually, the advanced development branch will be replaced with an official release of the branch. At that point, TelcoBridges will be commited in maintaining the official release of the branch. Any previous version of the Advanced Development Branch will be obsoleted.

New Features

Toolpack version 2.5 provides the following new features:

Support for Media Leg API

  • This release of Toolpack allows the use of the media resources (TDM channels, RTP streams), without having to use the signaling stacks provided by TelcoBridges. This allows customers to use their own SIP stack, and use the high-performance RTP and vocoding from TelcoBridges. The same can be done with SS7 and Sigtran on the TDM network. The Media Leg API can be used in conjunction with the Call Leg API, thus having a hybrid system.

Support for H.248

  • This allows the Tmedia platform to be controlled by a SoftSwitch

Support for H.323

  • This adds to the IP interconnection capability of the Tmedia devices. H.323 allows interconnection where SIP is not available.

Support for CAS R2 in Toolpack

  • This adds a new signalling protocol to Toolpack. CAS R2 in Toolpack works on all TelcoBridges platforms which have IVR DSP devices. This makes a complete TDM offering with SS7, Sigtran and ISDN-PRI.


New Enhancements

Toolpack version 2.5 also improve usability and ease-of-use by adding the following enhancements:

Web Portal Host-control

  • This new feature allow the user to upload a new Toolpack installer, upload a new license, shutdown a Toolpack host using the web portal.

Web Portal Database Backup

  • Using the web portal, it is possible to create/manage Toolpack database backup.

Web Portal configuration copy

  • When copying a configuration



Latest Release is available here:

New release will be available soon. Please ask support team.

Major Upgrades

It is considered a major upgrade when changing to a full release version or a major point release (e.g., v2.3 to v2.4 or v2.4 to v2.5). Please note that major upgrades require service interruption.

Minor Upgrades

It is considered a minor upgrade when moving, for example, from upgrading a minor point release (e.g., v2.5.1 to v2.5.2).

License Upgrades

A license upgrade activates new functionality or capacity in the system. Example of license upgrades include adding SS7 signalling or unlocking additional IVR capabilities.
