Eicon Networks Speech Server 2004 R2 and Speech Server 2007 Diva Server User Manual
Page 2
In order to communicate with telephony hardware and the telephony network, MSS 2004 R2 requires a Telephony Interface Manager
(TIM). The main task of a TIM is to stream media to and from MSS Speech Engine Services (SES) for recognition and speech output. The
TIM also processes call control messaging and call signaling as well as DTMF detection.
Eicon Networks has created specific product bundles that include telephony hardware and the Intervoice TIM. Each Eicon Diva Server for
MSS 2004 R2 product bundle includes a Diva Server V-Series telephony board, the Intervoice TIM software and license for the respective
number of channels, as well as a 180-day evaluation version of MSS 2004 R2.
Diva Server for Microsoft Speech Server 2004 R2 Implementation
Speech Server 2007 will provide full support for Speech Application Language Tags (SALT) and Voice Extensible Markup Language
(VoiceXML), which will enable customers to choose the development standard that will work best in their environment. Leveraging
Microsoft’s investments in Internet protocol (IP) telephony, Speech Server 2007 includes native support for voice over IP (VoIP), providing
companies with a powerful platform that can grow with changing business and technology needs. The platform natively supports Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) as core communications protocols for out-of-the-box support for IP
telephony and interoperability with leading VoIP gateways.
Diva Server SIPcontrol™ adds IP-to-PSTN Gateway functionality to any Diva Server telephony adapter (PCI-board). Thus Diva Server
telephony boards can interface with MSS 2007 natively via SIP and RTP, offering an ideal platform for traditional time division
multiplexing (TDM) or hybrid IP/TDM environments. By using open and standards-based IP protocols, both single-box as well as
distributed deployments are possible.
