 NIM-PVDM

NIM PVDM Introduction

Next-generation Digital Signal Processor (DSP) modules (NIM-PVDM) with on board
DSP daughter card to support low to medium density voice media services:

SCCP Transcoding (CUCM), LTI Transcoding

Transcoding (CUBE)

Conferencing SCCP secure & non-secure conferencing

SCCP hardware media termination &

Media Termination optimization

Why NIM-PVDM?
No motherboards slots in the newer platforms

Eliminates the need to procure additional T1/E1 MFT card for dspfarm services

Low to Medium density DSP Module at optimum cost

DSPFARM Resource Pool Sharing
IOS XE Controller mode

1. D SP FARM Configuration
All the SM-X-PVDM & NIM-PVDM add up in the DSPFARM Resource Pool to provide aggregated DSP Sessions.
DSPFARM Pool = 2* SM-X-PVDM + NIM-PVDM
Note: PVDM4 DSP on the T1/E1 card cannot be used in DSPFARM Resource pool

2 . Audio Conferencing
Maximum conference participants per profile can be 8, 16 or 32
Max Participant Per Conference= [8] [16] [32]

3 . Audio Transcoding
Transcoding session in excess of 4K requires a second DSPFARM profile
Max Transcoding Session(per profile)= 4000

4 . Software Media Termination
