Toolpack version 2.5
Contents |
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 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 Recovery Server
- If Toolpack Web Portal cannot start, a recovery server will be started and will guide you through the problem. It will also allow you to re-import old Toolpack database backup.
Gateway Application Retry Algorithm
- The Gateway application can handles receive a list of route and will try each one until the connection is established. Requires new routing scripts.
Gateway Application Routesets Routing
- Using .csv files, it is possible to import/export more than hundred thousands dynamic routes. Requires new routing scripts.
Web Portal Configuration Enhanced Copy
- Copying a configuration also copies its gateway application routes, routesets (including File DB) and routing scripts. No need to re-enter all the routes anymore, Yay!
VoIP Port Range
