interfaces to the packet network; is designed to provide a
UTOPIA level-2 interface and H.100 TDM interface; and is
designed to run essential application-specific protocols
required by the target application.
As the communications industry migrates from circuit-switched to packet-centric
infrastructure, equipment manufacturers require systems solutions that include
comprehensive design tools, signal processing, the ability to interface with both
packet- and circuit-switched networks, control and signaling functions, and
software support.
The DSP subsystem is designed to run essential signal
processing functions for voice, fax and modem data
applications. At the heart of the DSP subsystem are six
MSC8101 DSPs in a PTMC form factor. Typical functions
include voice compression, DTMF detection, voice activity
detection, echo cancellation and silence suppression, as
well as modem and fax data modulation and
demodulation. The DSP subsystem interfaces to the
MPC8260 baseboard via the MSC8101’s 60x bus. The
POTS subsystem connects to the DSP subsystem, and it
offers four narrow-band T1/E1 TDM ports. The POTS
subsystem is also designed to support four analog
POTS ports for direct interfaces to standard analog
voice terminals, and it provides a TDM stream for the
DSP array.
The first in a series of integrated, yet flexible, packet telephony system solutions from
Motorola, Smart Packet Telephony 8101 is a hardware reference design for medium-size
media gateway equipment that can handle voice, fax or modem data services.
The reference platform and development kit are ultimately designed to give
manufacturers of remote access servers (RAS) and IP-PBXs that are based on MSC8100
DSPs a significant time-to-market advantage. At the front end of the design process,
system architects may use this scalable evaluation platform to assess the capabilities
of the StarCore® architecture-based MSC8100 DSPs and establish suitability for their
end product. Since it is a comprehensive hardware reference design, it is also designed
to facilitate rapid system development. Multiple third parties supply media gateway and
remote access server software to complete the packet telephony solution.
The development platform includes support for voice compression and echo cancellation,
essential for voice-over-packet systems. Smart Packet Telephony 8101 consists of three
main subsystems. The MPC8260 baseboard is designed to support Fast Ethernet
