System Limits
DSP are provided by the PowerCPU EE board, optionally equipped with an ARMADA daughter board.
The PowerCPU EE board natively provides 16 DSP resources and supports an optional ARMADA VoIP
daughterboard with additional DSP resources.
The PowerCPU EE board equipped with an ARMADA VoIP32 daughterboard supports up to 48 DSP channels.
The PowerCPU EE board equipped with an ARMADA VoIP64 daughterboard supports up to 60 DSP channels
(multi-codec) or 76 DSP channels (G711).
The maximum number of VoIP trunks is 48 (76 with an ARMADA VoIP64 daughterboard).

Fields description
VoIP Channels mode
This field gives the combinations of multi-codecs and G711 codecs, available for the current
Description
hardware.
The number of VoIP access channels defines the number of channels assigned for
communications in IP mode for external calls. It is linked to the number of VoIP-subscriber
channels. These channels must be entered in a trunk group (see Procedure).
The link categories and barring parameters of the trunk group and the IP
Description
terminals must be defined. The number of external VoIP accesses depends on
a software key.
ATTENTION:
VoIP Subscriber channels and Trunk channels must not exceed the available
physical channels (multi-codec channels + G711 channels) and license
limitations. Trunk channels have priority over Subscriber channels.

VoIP parameters Page 3 of 19
The number of VoIP-subscriber channels is the part of DSP channels reserved for IP
Description subscribers (from the total amount of DSPs available on the PowerCPU EE board, optionally
equipped with an ARMADA daughter board).
Up to 48 (absolute maximum), but the effective maximum is given by:
Total no. of VoIP channels - No. of VoIP-trunk channels
VoIP Subscriber channels and Trunk channels must not exceed the available physical
channels (multi-codec channels + G711-only channels) and license limitations. Trunk
Values channels have priority over Subscriber channels.
If the total number of VoIP channels is 20 and the configured number of VoIP-
EXAMPLE: trunk channels is 13, the number of available VoIP-subscriber channels is 20 - 13
= 7.
This field indicates in read-only mode the total number of VoIP channels available on the
