Demo Description
.
This chapter describes the basic features of the IP Media Server for HMP demo.
The IP Media Server for HMP demo is an object-oriented host-based application that demonstrates
using the Global Call API to build an IP media server, providing voice and fax services via IP
technology. The demo source code can be used as sample code for those who want to begin
developing an application from a working application.
Note: The IP Media Server for HMP demo is limited to a maximum of four simultaneous channels.
Additionally, the channel numbers used must be below 120; the demo will fail to run if you attempt
to use a channel number higher than 120.
The IP Media Server for HMP demo supports the following features:
• Voice service
• Fax service
• CSP barge in
• Configuration file
• Command line options
Note: The IP Media Server for HMP demo does not function as a gateway. Therefore, it can only answer
calls from the IP network. Gateway functionality can be added by writing additional software code
within the IP module that will allow it to make outgoing calls to the IP network, and connecting a
gateway to interface with the PSTN.
The IP Media Server for HMPIP Media Server (Global Call) demo is a cross-OS demo, designed to
run under both the Windows and Linux environments. Most of the differences in the environments
are handled directly by the programming interface and are transparent to the user. Other
differences, due to inherent differences in the operating systems, are handled by the Platform
Dependency Library (PDL). For more information about the PDL refer to the source code in the
pdl_win or pdl_linux directories directory.

reparing to Run the Demo
This chapter discusses the preparations necessary to run the IP Media Server for HMP demo. It
provides information about the following topics:
3.1
Editing Configuration Files
This section discusses how to configure the demo for your system. It contains the following topics:
3.1.1
Configuration File Location
Before running the IP Media Server for HMP demo, modify the IPMediaServer.cfg file to reflect
your system environment. Use a text editor and open the file from the following location:
Windows
$(INTEL_DIALOGIC_DIR)\Demos\IPMediaServer\Release
Linux
$(INTEL_DIALOGIC_DIR)/demos/IPMediaServer/Release
3.1.2
Editing the IPMediaServer.cfg Configuration File
Below is an example of the IPMediaServer.cfg file. Update the following information:
ipProtocolName
The IP protocol for opening IP line devices. Possible vlues are:
• H323
• SIP
• both
DTMFmode
Specifies how DTMF tones are transmitted. Possible values are:
• OutofBand – usually used with low bandwith coders, such as GSM
Note: OutofBand is used for H.323 only.
IP Media Server for HMP Demo Guide — July 2005
15
Preparing to Run the Demo
• InBand – usually used with G.711 coders
• RFC2833
Capability
Describes the transmit and receive coders. See the Global Call IP Technology Guide for
specific information about coder support. The parameters are as follows:
• TxType – the transmit voice coder
Note: By default, the fax demo is turned off. This feature may be enabled when tested with
T.38 capable IP endpoints. To do this, “uncomment” the line TxType = t38UDPFax
in this section by removing the # from the start of the line, or add the line if not
present.
• TxFramesPerPkt – the number of frames per packet for the selected Tx coder
• TxVAD – specifies if VAD is active for the selected Tx coder
• RxType – the receive voice coder
• RxFramesPerPkt – the number of frames per packet for the selected Rx coder
Note: The G.711 coder defines frames per packet using the packet size in milliseconds, i.e.
correct syntax for all the parameters.
• RxVAD – specifies if VAD is active for the selected Rx coder
Quality of Service
The application can set threshold values to monitor the quality of service during calls. A fault
occurs when the result of a measurement of a QoS parameter crosses a predefined threshold. A
success occurs when the result of a measurement of a QoS parameter dis not cross a predefined
threshold. The QoS parameters are measured during time intervals, starting when a call is
established. The following parameters are supported:
• MediaAlarmLostPackets – monitors the number of lost IP packets during a call
• MediaAlarmJitter – monitors the jitter (as defined in RFC 1889) during IP transmission
QoS Attributes
The threshold for each QoS parameter is measured with the following six attributes:
• Threshold – defines when a QoS parameter is in a fault condition. A fault occurs when the
result of a measurement of a QoS parameter crossed the Threshold value.
• DebounceOn – the time during which faults are measured (in msec., must be multiple of
Interval)
• DebounceOff – the time during which successes are measured (in msec., must be multiple
of Interval)
• Interval – the amount of time between two QoS parameter measurements (in multiples of
100 msec)
• Percent_Fail – used to detect failure condition, together with DebounceOn (expressed as
a percentage of failures)
• Percent_Success – used to detect failure recovery, together with DebounceOff (expressed
as a percentage of successes)
The default values are as follows:
Percent_
Fail

Using the Media Server
The IP Media Server for HMP demo allows the caller to interact with a series of voice menus, using
the telephone keypad to enter an option. Basic operations include playing a pre-recorded message,
recording a new message, sending or receiving a fax, and barge-in for CSP. Each menu prompts the
caller to select an action by pushing a key. The call state within which the menu is called is
feature (voice, fax, CSP).
Note: By default, the fax demo is turned off. This feature may be enabled when tested with T.38 capable
IP endpoints. To do this, uncomment the line:
TxType = t38UDPFax
in the Capability section of the IPMediaServer.cfg file (or add the line if not present as a comment).

Demo Details
5.2.1
Module Structure
The IP Media Server for HMP demo uses a modular architecture, in which each technology (IP,
voice, fax, CSP)) is wrapped inside a module so that a particular technology can be easily added or
removed.
The system contains three modules:
• IP module that serves as the front end to communicate with the IP network
• Voice module to provide voice service
• Fax module to provide fax service
The system also contains a software component, the EventRouter, to connect the modules. The
basic architecture of the system is illustrated in Figure 2.

State Machine
Each module is composed of four elements:
• Board
• Device
• State Machine (call control)
• Wrapper
The Wrapper acts like a manager, receiving requests from the EventRouter and distributing the
request to the boards or devices. A device can have one or multiple state machines attached to it.
Each state machine represents one call.

5.2.2
EventRouter
The EventRouter is responsible for communicating with the modules. It does the following:
• Maintains routing tables
• Retrieves event data from the SRL and routes it to a module for processing
• Forwards event process result to another module if so requested.

5.2.3
Interfaces
The modular architecture implements a unified interface that allows replacement of modules by
including new header files and adjusting routing statements.
A module is treated by the EventRouter as a block box. It has three types of APIs:
Initialization
• Init( ) – for initializing a module
• GetNumOfDevices( ) – returns the number of devices available to the application
• GetDeviceHandle( ) – returns a device handle
• GetDeviceXmitSlot( ) – returns a device transmit timeslot
• SetDeviceReceiveSlot( ) – sets a device receive timeslot
Runtime
• ProcessEvent( ) – processes event data
Termination
• Exit( ) – exits a module
5.2.4
Classes
This section describes the classes contained in the demo and within each module. Each module
contains three classes: board, device, and state machine.

Threads
The IP Media Server for HMP demo operates with two threads, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. IP Media Server Demo Threads
IP
R4/GC
Keyboard
SRL
Main Thread
Sub-Thread
The threads are created as follows:
1. The first (main) thread is created by the demo application to get the keyboard input.
2. The second thread is an SRL thread, created as a result of the demo application calling
PDLsr_enblhdlr( ). All Global Call events are received through the SRL.
5.4
Initialization
This section describes the IP Media Server for HMPdemo initialization as shown in Figure 5.
A system is started in the following sequence:
1. The application creates CConfig( ) to parse the configuration file.
2. The application creates CEventRouter( ) to start the Event Router, which, in turn, starts the
Fax module, the Voice module, and the IP module. When a module is started, it initializes its
boards, devices and state machines.
IP Media Server for HMP Demo Guide — July 2005
39
Demo Details
After all the modules are started, the EventRouter starts to build a static routing table that maps
voice devices to IP devices. It is important that each IP device has a dedicated voice resource, so
that when an IP channel is connected (an incoming call is answered) the user can get a voice
prompt immediately.
If the initialization should fails, the application shuts down. The shutdown sequence is the reverse
of the initialization sequence.

Event Handling
This section describes how the IP Media Server for HMP demo handles events. It contains the
following topics:
5.5.1
Event Mechanism
The IP Media Server demo uses the SRL mechanism to retrieve events. When an event occurs, SRL
calls event handlers automatically. All events are received by the SRL and then passed to the
CallbackHdlr( ) function for handling.
In the initialization phase of the demo, the main( ) function sets up the call-back handler, by calling
PDLsr_enbhdlr( ).
5.5.2
5.5.3
Handling Keyboard Input Events
There is an endless loop {while(0)} in the main( ) function in the Main.cpp file. In that loop, the
application waits forever for a keyboard event by calling the waitForKey( ) function. The event
must be handled immediately and event-specific information should be retrieved before the next
call to waitForKey( ).
Handling SRL Events
When the R4/Global Call event is received, the application performs the following:
1. Get METAEVENT by calling gc_GetMetaEvent( ).
2. Get channel ID through device handle to channel mapping.
3. Get device type through device handle to type mapping.
4. Route meta event to the module specified by device type.
5.5.4
Handling Application Exit Events
Normal application exit events, such as pressing either q or Q, don’t enter the SRL. The main( )
function calls PDLSetApplicationExitPath( ) before initialization. In Linux, this function sets the
signals (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGABRT) for making the appropriate exit from the application. In
Windows, this function enables the detection of CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT (closing the window).

5.5.5
TSUsrEvent Structure
The TSUsrEvent structure is used by the demo modules to return event processing results to the
event router.
The TSUserEvt structure is defined as follows:
typedef struct
{
int
event;
TDeviceType destination;
int
lineDevice;
long
xmitSlot;
long
char
neighborDevice;

Glossary
Codec: see COder/DECoder
COder/DECoder: A circuit used to convert analog voice data to digital and digital voice data to analog audio.
Computer Telephony (CT): Adding computer intelligence to the making, receiving, and managing of
telephone calls.
DTMF: Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: A way of signaling consisting of a push-button or touch-tone dial that sends out a
sound consisting of two discrete tones that are picked up and interpreted by telephone switches (either PBXs or
central offices).
Emitting Gateway: called by a G3FE. It initiates IFT service for the calling G3FE and connects to a Receiving
Gateway.
E1: The 2.048 Mbps digital carrier system common in Europe.
FCD file: An ASCII file that lists any non-default parameter settings that are necessary to configure a DM3
hardware/firmware product for a particular feature set. The downloader utility reads this file, and for each
parameter listed generates and sends the DM3 message necessary to set that parameter value.
Frame: A set of SCbus/CT Bus timeslots which are grouped together for synchronization purposes. The period of
a frame is fixed (at 125 µsec) so that the number of time slots per frame depends on the SCbus/CT Bus data rate.
G3FE: Group 3 Fax Equipment. A traditional fax machine with analog PSTN interface.
Gatekeeper: An H.323 entity on the Internet that provides address translation and control access to the network
for H.323 Terminals and Gateways. The Gatekeeper may also provide other services to the H.323 terminals and
Gateways, such as bandwidth management and locating Gateways.
Gateway: A device that converts data into the IP protocol. It often refers to a voice-to-IP device that converts an
analog voice stream, or a digitized version of the voice, into IP packets.
H.323: A set of International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards that define a framework for the
transmission of real-time voice communications through Internet protocol (IP)-based packet-switched networks.
The H.323 standards define a gateway and a gatekeeper for customers who need their existing IP networks to
support voice communications.
IAF: Internet Aware Fax. The combination of a G3FE and a T.38 gateway.
IFP: Internet Facsimile Protocol
IFT: Internet Facsimile Transfer
IP Media Server for HMP Demo Guide — July 2005

International Telecommunications Union (ITU): An organization established by the United Nations to set
telecommunications standards, allocate frequencies to various uses, and hold trade shows every four years.
Internet: An inter-network of networks interconnected by bridges or routers. LANs described in H.323 may be
considered part of such inter-networks.
Internet Protocol (IP): The network layer protocol of the transmission control protocol/Internet protocol
(TCP/IP) suite. Defined in STD 5, Request for Comments (RFC) 791. It is a connectionless, best-effort packet
switching protocol.
Internet Service Provider (ISP): A vendor who provides direct access to the Internet.
Internet Telephony: The transmission of voice over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Also called Voice over IP
(VoIP), IP telephony enables users to make telephone calls over the Internet, intranets, or private Local Area
Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) that use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP).
ITU: See International Telecommunications Union.
Jitter: The deviation of a transmission signal in time or phase. It can introduce errors and loss of synchronization
in high-speed synchronous communications.
NIC (Network Interface Card): Adapter card inserted into computer that contains necessary software and
electronics to enable a station to communicate over network.
PCD file: An ASCII text file that contains product or platform configuration description information that is used
by the DM3 downloader utility program. Each of these files identifies the hardware configuration and firmware
modules that make up a specific hardware/firmware product. Each type of DM3-based product used in a system
requires a product-specific PCD file.
PSTN: see Public Switched Telephone Network
Public Switched Telephone Network: The telecommunications network commonly accessed by standard
telephones, key systems, Private Branch Exchange (PBX) trunks and data equipment.
Reliable Channel: A transport connection used for reliable transmission of an information stream from its
source to one or more destinations.
Reliable Transmission: Transmission of messages from a sender to a receiver using connection-mode data
transmission. The transmission service guarantees sequenced, error-free, flow-controlled transmission of messages
to the receiver for the duration of the transport connection.
RTCP: Real Time Control Protocol
RTP: Real Time Protocol
SIP: Session Initiation Protocol: an Internet standard specified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in
RFC 3261. SIP is used to initiate, manage, and terminate interactive sessions between one or more users on the
Internet.

IP Media Server for HMP Demo Guide — July 2005
T1: A digital transmission link with a capacity of 1.544 Mbps used in North America. Typically channeled into 24
digital subscriber level zeros (DS0s), each capable of carrying a single voice conversation or data stream. T1 uses
two pairs of twisted pair wires.
TCP: see Transmission Control Protocol
Terminal: An H.323 Terminal is an endpoint on the local area network which provides for real-time, two-way
communications with another H.323 terminal, Gateway, or Multipoint Control Unit. This communication consists
of control, indications, audio, moving color video pictures, and/or data between the two terminals. A terminal may
provide speech only, speech and data, speech and video, or speech, data, and video.
Transmission Control Protocol: The TCP/IP standard transport level protocol that provides the reliable, full
duplex, stream service on which many application protocols depend. TCP allows a process on one machine to send
a stream of data to a process on another. It is connection-oriented in the sense that before transmitting data,
participants must establish a connection.
UDP: see User Datagram Protocol
UDPTL: Facsimile UDP Transport Layer protocol
User Datagram Protocol: The TCP/IP standard protocol that allows an application program on one machine to
send a datagram to an application program on another machine. Conceptually, the important difference between
UDP datagrams and IP datagrams is that UDP includes a protocol port number, allowing the sender to distinguish
among multiple destinations on the remote machine.
VAD: Voice Activity Detection
