softIP for SIP Software features
With the licensed-based Dialogic
®
Diva
®
softIP for SIP software module, the Diva System Release software offers
a middleware that enables existing voice and fax applications to be fully integrated into Voice over IP networks
using any standard Ethernet adapter. Technically speaking, the Diva softIP software is comparable to a Diva
Media Board in that it provides functions such as voice and fax transmission, DTMF tones and supplementary
services as well as conferencing between ISDN and VoIP connections. If the Diva softIP software and a Diva
Media Board are combined in one system, they can concurrently be connected to TDM and IP systems and they
can serve as basis for PSTN-IP gateway applications.
To use the Diva softIP software, you need to purchase the required number of licenses with your Dialogic
®
Diva
®
Media Board vendor and activate them in the Dialogic
®
Diva
®
Configuration Manager. See License Activation on
page 31 for more information. There are two types of licences: Telephony (for voice applications) and
Telephony+Fax (for voice and T.38 fax applications).

Line Test tool to more easily
