Nortel Networks 7400 - Manual (Page 198)

MPS 1000 supports the H.323 standard, enabling
users running H.323-compliant software to initiate
or receive calls. The system’s switching fabric
supports seamless H.323 VoIP client interfaces with
both T1 and E1 standards. Support for the SIP
standard is planned for a later release.
Hybrid Digital/VoIP Architectures
MPS 1000 supports both digital and IP voice
protocols, customers who require a hybrid
Digital/VoIP environment are provided with a
smooth migration path designed to protect existing
hardware investment. VoIP TMS modules co-reside
with T1 TMS modules and fully communicate with
each other. Organisations can gradually replace
expensive leased lines by shifting telephony traffic
onto the IP network. This design eliminates the need
for forklift switch replacements as VoIP technology
continues to mature, and provides a future-proof -
IP-enabled IVR solution.
Remote Management
Comprehensive management services are provided
by the PeriView application, which combines local
management with visibility into branch installations
from the central site. By using a centralised, Web-
based management approach, the efficiency of
management personnel is maximised. This
approach reduces the need for physical visits to
branch offices and sharply lowers the cost of system
maintenance.
Future Capabilities
MPS 1000 will soon support Advanced Speech
Recognition on the next release of the same
industry-leading Open Signal Computing and
Analysis Resource (OSCAR) platform as currently
offered with VPS/is. The OSCAR platform is used by
both the VPS/is and the MPS platforms. Advanced
Speech Recognition capabilities will include:
• Large Vocabulary Speech Recognition
• Natural Language Understanding
• Text to Speech
• Speaker Verification
Additional features include:
• VoiceXML
• Support for additional protocols including
VoIP SIP protocol*
• Expanded SS7 capabilities
