HMP uses a network interface card (NIC) to provide IP connectivity. It runs on both internet and intranet network configurations. Interaction with the PSTN network will occur through the numerous existing gateways.
If used with a Dialogic DNI type of board, HMP will have the media processing resources offered to the card. Connectivity to the TDM network will occur through the DNI interface whereas simultaneous IP network connectivity will be possible over the NIC card.
HMP supports the industry standard H.323 and SIP protocols for call control. RTP/RTCP for media streaming over IP in G.711, G.723.1, G.729A, and G.729AB format.
Pronexus recommends these minimum requirements for running HMP:
Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2
Windows 2003 (Enterprise or Standard) with Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 with Service Pack 6
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/2005/2008 (C# or VB)
Pronexus recommends these minimum requirements for running HMP:
Intel Pentium IV Processor at 2.8 GHz
1024 MB RAM (basic developer system)
100 BaseT Network Interface Card (NIC)
A 1000 BaseT NIC will improve CPU utilization.
Note: HMP will not work with other voice processing hardware (Springware or DMV voice cards) on the same server. Only DNI thin blades can be used for PSTN connectivity.
Processor speed requirements are dependant on the number of user sessions.

Number of Resources Available |
Resource Description |
|
RTP G.711 |
r |
0-500 |
Streaming digitized voice over RTP using G.711 codec |
|
Voice |
v |
0-500 |
Basic voice ports that allow you to control volume, record with Automatic Gain Control (AGC), DTMF, user-defined tone detection, and TTS. |
|
Enhanced RTP |
e |
0-200 |
Enhances the resources by supporting digitized voice over RTP using G.723.1, G.729A, and G.729AB coders. |
|
Conferencing |
c |
0-500 |
Conference parties using advanced features such as coach/pupil mode, tone clamping, and active talker notification. Conferencing resources require RTP G.711. |
|
Fax Termination |
f |
0-120 |
Supports T.38 and V.17 fax origination and termination sessions. For each faxing license needed, a voice resource is required. |
|
IP Call control |
i |
0-2000 |
Supports first party and third party IP call control. First party call control manages a media session that is initiated and terminated by HMP. Third party call control enables one entity to create, modify, or terminate a media session between two or more endpoints where the call control signaling and media exchange are independently managed. IP call control licenses are required for IP lines along with voice resources. For ISDN lines, they are not needed* |
|
Speech Integration (Continuous SpeechProcessing) |
s |
0-240 |
Speech integration capabilities that enable you to integrate the HMP Software product with speech engines for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-To-Speech (TTS) support using the Continuous Speech Processing APIs. |
* For example, if you install a DNI300 card (23 lines) and want to make 10 VoIP lines ( for a combined total of 33 lines). you would need 33 voice resources and 10 IP call control resources..
