<p><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana; font-size:10pt">First thing to do is to prepare installation media, which could be either CD or DVD. To do so download the ISO image file, save it on the local computer and burn it to the blank CD or DVD media using your favorite CD-burning software. Example or such software is Nero Burning ROM on Windows. Make sure to enable &#8220;Check Disk After Burning&#8221; option (or equivalent) to make sure the data can be read back from the CD.</span><br />

<p>&gt; 4,000 simultaneous calls (per server).</p>
<p><strong>Hardware needed:</strong></p>
<p>he hardware requirements would depend on the amount of traffic you are planning to handle. In general we recommend the following specifications for peak performance and reliability. This configuration should be sufficient to handle up to 3,000 simultaneous calls:</p>
<ul>
<li>Good, modern server-grade hardware from a reputable vendor (Dell, IBM, etc);</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SMP system with at least 4 CPU cores in total (2x Dual Core or 1x Quad Core, Xeon 53xx, 54xx or 55xx), 2.4GHz or better;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>4GB of RAM for 32-bit version or 8GB for 64-bit version;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>10,000 RPM or faster SAS hard drives in RAID0+1, RAID1, or RAID5 configuration. The recommended minimum capacity of the RAID array is 70GB with at least 2 drives and a good hardware RAID controller is suggested.</li>
</ul>

<strong>Description </strong></p>
<p><strong>JVS</strong> XML-RPC API is developed to make it possible to integrate third party software with JVS SoftSwitch.<br />
General Information </p>
<p>    * The XML-RPC is used as a communication protocol.<br />
    * Access to this service is protected by HTTP-Digest authentication and optionally by SSL encryption.<br />
    * The interface supports the <nil/> element to represent NULL values. There is no such or similar element in the XML-RPC specification but most implementations support it so it can be considered to be de-facto standard.<br />
    * URL to access the service is https://jvs.address/xmlapi/xmlapi. </p>
<p>Visit our support center for the latest XML API documentation. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A softswitch is a central device in a Telecommunication network which connects calls from one phone line to another, entirely by means of software running on a computer system. This work was formerly carried out by hardware, with physical switchboards to route the calls.</p>
<p>A softswitch is typically used to control connections at the junction point between circuit and packet networks. A single device containing both the switching logic and the switching fabric can be used for this purpose; however, modern technology has led to a preference for decomposing this device into a Call Agent and a Media Gateway.</p>
<p>The Call Agent takes care of functions like billing, call routing, signalling, call services and so on and is the &#8216;brains&#8217; of the outfit. A Call Agent may control several different Media Gateways in geographically dispersed areas over a TCP/IP link.</p>
<p>The Media Gateway connects different types of digital media stream together to create an end-to-end path for the media (voice and data) in the call. It may have interfaces to connect to traditional PSTN networks like DS1 or DS3 ports (E1 or STM1 in the case of non-US networks), it may have interfaces to connect to ATM and IP networks and in the modern system will have Ethernet interfaces to connect VoIP calls. The call agent will instruct the media gateway to connect media streams between these interfaces to connect the call &#8211; all transparently to the end-users.</p>
<p>The softswitch generally resides in a building owned by the telecommunication company called a central office. The central office will have telephone trunks to carry calls to other offices owned by the telecommunication company and to other telecommunication companies (aka the Public Switched Telephone Network or PSTN).</p>
<p>Looking towards the end users from the switch, the Media Gateway may be connected to several access devices. These access devices can range from small Analog Telephone Adaptors (ATA) which provide just one RJ11 telephone jack to an Integrated Access Device (IAD) or PBX which may provide several hundred telephone connections.</p>
<p>Typically the larger access devices will be located in a building owned by the telecommunication company near to the customers they serve. Each end user can be connected to the IAD by a simple pair of copper wires.</p>
<p>The medium sized devices and PBXs will typically be used in a business premises and the single line devices would probably be found in residential premises.</p>
<p>In more recent times (i.e., the IP Multimedia Subsystem or IMS), the Softswitch element is represented by the Media Gateway Controller (MGC) element, and the term &#8220;Softswitch&#8221; is rarely used in the IMS context, but another word of AGCF(Access Gateway Control Function).</p>
<p>[edit] Feature server as a part of softswitch</p>
<p>The feature server, often built into a call agent/softswitch, is the functional component that provides call-related features. Capabilities such as call forwarding, call waiting, and last call return, if implemented in the network, are implemented in the feature server. The feature server works closely with the call agent, and may call upon the media server to provide these services. These features do not require the subscriber to explicitly request them but tend to be triggered within the call handling logic.</p>
