Chapter 1: Overview
Features
The Tenor DX’s specific features are explained below.
Unique Design
Tenor DX packs powerful VoIP features into one compact unit. The system’s embedded design
enables you to configure the unit directly without depending on another operating system; it can be
either placed on a table or mounted in a 19” rack.
With its MultiPath technology, the Tenor can be installed without upgrades to the existing voice or
data network. Tenor connects to the data network through a 10/100 Ethernet interface, and to the
enterprise and public voice network through multiple T1/E1 or PRI interfaces. In addition, with a
wide range of configurations available, it offers the flexibility for you to select a configuration that
best matches your needs.
State-of-the-Art GUI Configuration and Network Management
Once the unit is connected, the Tenor Configuration Manager makes configuring a Tenor DX easy.
Through the manager, you are able to set all configuration parameters, such as unit, signaling, and
call type features, as well as monitor the unit for alarms, and call information.
In addition, you can configure the unit via Command Line Interface (CLI). Through this simple tel-
net session, you can access all configuration options, including an online help system, built into the
CLI, which provides help for all features and functions. Just type help at any prompt, and data about
that field will be displayed.
SelectNet™ Technology Safety Net
Quality of service is virtually guaranteed. Tenor DX ’s built-in patented SelectNet ™ Technology
provides a “safety net,” which virtually guarantees that each call going VoIP will not only be routed
successfully, but will deliver high voice quality.
SelectNet monitors the IP network performance for VoIP calls. If the performance characteristics
become unacceptable—according to the delay, jitter, and packet loss specifications you configure—
the Tenor DX will switch the call to the PSTN automatically and transparently. The Tenor continu-
ously monitors your data network for jitter, latency and packet loss, and transparently switches cus-
tomer calls to the PSTN when required.
