[cisco-voip] PVDMs, DSP farms, et al.... next steps?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Thanks for this. A couple of more questions: 

I read that you have to have enough DSP resources for all your voice ports (T1s in particular) and you can't overprovision. Just wondering the validity of this statement (from NetPro post) and whether this is for cards that are inserted, or turned up. 

Also, with respect to codecs, can you configure different codecs on the same DSP? It talks about FLEX for the PVDMs, and I'm just wondering if that's the best approach. 

Thanks again for everyone's help. 

Lelio

can i go without it? do i need it for conferencing/xcoding/MTP? 
No, Yes 

when enabling dsp farm'ing, i can see a couple of examples which state "voice-card 0" what is this voice-card 0? is this the motherboard? is this the DSP chip itself? 
PVDM2/3 modules installed in the slot on the motherboard. 

if i install another DSP chip, would I see "voice-card 1" 
If you insert a NM-HDV2 in slot 1, that would be configured as "voice-card 1". Answer is no.

ok, that last document didn't help much either. 

so here's a couple of general questions: 

where/when do i need dsp farm'ing? can i go without it? do i need it for conferencing/xcoding/MTP?

well, i read the first two docs i mentioned, and, i'm not too further along. looks like there's one more i should look at: 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/routers/access/1900/software/configuration/guide/pvdm3_config_ps10538_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html 

hopefully this one will help.

Hi all, 

I'm in the process of migrating from 6608s to 3945s. I've got all the pieces and I'm just wondering about next steps. 

I've found the following documents: 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/7x/media.pdf 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/voice/cminterop/configuration/15-1mt/vc-enh-confr-vgr.pdf 

But I'm wondering if there are any others people can recommend. 

Also, if there are any hints or recommendations on going forward, that too would help. 

I'll have two 3945s, each with a PVDM-256 installed that I need to use for 8 T1s into each router, and for conferencing mainly. But I'll also want to try and do some transcoding if possible. 

Thanks, Lelio
