Interoperability
The compliance of our telephony software to industry standards has been consistently demonstrated over the course
of twenty years of software and hardware development and testing. Over 10 million ports of VOCAL products have been
shipped by our customers over the past 10 years, using VOCAL's voice processing, data and facsimile modulations,
data protocols, facsimile command sets, and network protocol stacks. Many high density server systems have been
developed using VOCAL software, each meeting extensive interoperability standards.
Our VoIP suite works seamlessly with popular industrial servers such as those available from Cisco, Quintum, NetCentrex,
and Asterisk. VOCAL has conducted exhaustive compatibility and interoperability testing using many VoIP providers.
Example configurations for service providers such as Vonage, Broadsoft, Global Village, Free World Dialup, as well
as many others are available. Device configuration can be completely managed using the web interface built into the
firmware or restricted as desired by the licensee. For further information regarding compatibility and
interoperability testing, please contact us.
Provisioning
The provisioning and continued management of deployed devices is a common consideration for many service providers
and product manufacturers. VOCAL's flexible software interface is designed to support many common provisioning
restrictions, including hierarchical user access levels, restricted network or internet access, as well as manual
or automatic firmware updates. We can customize our provisioning mechanisms to meet any specific requirements.
Individual advanced features may be configured based upon the customer’s service plan and administrators may prepare
configuration change files and firmware updates for automatic distribution to deployed units. All tone and ring cadences
are configurable to meet world-wide requirements and international call progress standards. Multilingual
web access and configuration of the device through its built-in web server can be performed dynamically. Since
configuration files may be developed for specific unitss or a whole product line with similar ease, management and control
is under complete administrator control.
