NAP

A Network Access Point or NAP represents the entry point to another network or destination peer (e.g. SIP proxy, ISUP interface peer, etc). A NAP can also be thought of as a 'trunk group'.

TelcoBridges and Network Access Points

The Network Access Point (NAP) allows for service access points (SAPs), ISDN stacks, and SS7 ISUP interfaces to be associated as a combined resource for one type of access. A NAP is used to represent a collection of voice endpoints, for example: a group of SS7 CICs, ISDN controlled timeslots, SIP outgoing proxy to a specific provider, and more. NAPs are, later in the configuration process, used to define how calls are routed out of the Tmedia system.

NAP Types

• SS7 (Signaling System 7)
• ISDN (Integrated Systems Digital Network)
• CAS (Channel associated signaling)
• SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
• VOIP (Voice Over IP)
• TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing)
• Media-only (VoIP or TDM) for H248 controlled resources
