Nb of Compressors for Gateway
Maximum number of simultaneous compressions authorized for an IP-MGW board on-board Gateway application according to the system's global OPS lock and type of board. In practice, the maximum number of compressors in the system as a whole is distributed over all the IP-MGW boards to reach the total which corresponds to the number of licences purchased. When RTP Direct is set to TRUE, there is no longer a specific pool of compression channels for the Gateway application and for IP devices, but a common pool being the sum of the two pools. New IP-MGW boards introduced in releases where RTP Direct is always TRUE will only have one parameter to indicate number of compressors. Parameter value: The max range depends on the type of IP-MGW and the features configured on it.

Nb of Compressors for IP Devices
Maximum number of simultaneous compressions authorized for any IP function (including IPPhones and PCMM2 terminals, as well as the IP connections for the remote shelf), according to the system's global OPS lock and type of board. When RTP Direct is set to TRUE, there is no longer a specific pool of compression channels for the Gateway application and for IP devices, but a common pool being the sum of the two pools. New IP-MGW boards introduced in releases where RTP Direct is always TRUE will only have one parameter to indicate number of compressors. Parameter value: The max range depends on the type of IP-MGW and the features configured on it.

Max. simultaneous voice guides
Number of N part conferences
This attribute indicates the number of conference circuits configured on the GD or GA(n) board.
The size of these circuits is the same for the whole system and is set by the Conference Modularity data to N(N) (In SYSTEM see objects OTHER PARAMETERS and OTHER PARAMETERS/SYSTEM PARAMETERS).
The product of n and N directly influences the total number of compressors configured for this board, so if the number of N conferences is modified, the distribution of the compressors must be modified at the same time, taking into account the following grid.
Example: N=7, n=3 therefore the maximum number of compressors available is 8.
The distribution of the compressors is free.
n/N 4 5 6 7 10 15 30
0 24 24 24 24 24 24 24
1 16 16 16 16 16 14 0

Max. nb. of 29-part conferences
N part conferences configuration

Enter an enumerated value,

i.e. one of the following values:

No conference (0)

1x7 (1)

1x15 (2)

1x30 (3)

2x7 (4)

2x15 (5)

3x7 (6)

4x7 (7)

Instead of using the system parameters that sets the Conference Modularity, and then for each board that can do n-part conference, set the number of conferences possible, the GD3/GA3 boards can by this parameter set both number and modularity. This means that one can have a Conference Modularity at system level set to 7 and for the GD3/GA3 have a modularity of 15 for example.

The N-part conference configuration directly influences the total number of compressors configured for this board, so if the n-part conference configuration is modified, the distribution of the VoIP compressors must be modified at the same time, taking into account the following grid.

GD3 no ARMADA: 15 VoIP 1x7 2x7 1x15 3x7 4x7 1x30 2x15

GD3 ARMADA : 45 VoIP 1x7 2x7 1x15 3x7 4x7 1x30 2x15

GA3 no ARMADA : 0 4x7 1x30 2x15

GA3 no ARMADA : 15 1x7 2x7 1x15 3x7
