Top Of PageIntel® NetStructure™ High Density Station Interface (HDSI) Product

The Intel® NetStructure™ High Density Station Interface (HDSI) is an open-architecture platform for computer telephony that integrates large-scale switching and voice processing resources under a single hardware and software architecture. The HDSI offers the industry's highest-density analog station connectivity in a single PCI slot. This solution is also offered in a Compact PCI (cPCI) configuration using a single HDSI-cPCI board assembly, consisting of a cPCI Baseboard and a Rear I/O Module.

The HDSI is an Intel® NetStructure™ assembly consisting of a Station Interface Box (SIB) connected to an HDSI-PCI board with H.100-compliant CT Bus connectivity (or to an HDSI-cPCI board assembly with H.110-compliant CT Bus connectivity). The CT Bus provides switching between trunks and stations and also allows expansion for additional Dialogic network and resource boards. Utilizing just one Intel® NetStructure™ PCI board (or one Intel® NetStructure™ HDSI-cPCI board assembly), this solution can support up to 120 stations with tone detection and generation, and FSK Caller ID transmission. This product uses the following application programming interfaces:

The Intel® NetStructure™ Station Interface Box is a single unit that supports 48 stations in the base model configuration. However, the SIB is a modular unit that is designed to accept plug-in components to accommodate 72, 96, and 120 stations. The SIB features a "hot swap" capability, which allows you to break and re-establish connections to the HDSI-PCI board (or to the HDSI-cPCI board assembly) without powering down or rebooting the system.

NOTE:
For more detailed information about the Intel® NetStructure™ High Density Station Interface product, refer to the High Density Station Interface Series Hardware Installation Guide.

There are no new Intel® NetStructure™ HDSI Software features in the System Release 5.1.1 Feature Pack 1.
