Quintum GateKeeper Plus Release note

Welcome to the December 2001 edition of Tenor

Notes

New Tenor Functionality:

T.38 FAX Support: This new, much-demanded feature will be included in the next Tenor release! This new

protocol offers greater compatibility when transmitting FAX between Tenors and gateways from other vendors.

DASS 2: DASS 2 is a proprietary E1 signaling protocol widely deployed by British Telecom in the UK telephone

network. Quintum has now implemented this protocol, making the Tenor fully compatible with PBX switches in

DASS 2 networks. Any clients with switches supporting DASS 2 can benefit from this new feature.

GateKeeper-to-GateKeeper Functionality: The newest release of the Tenor GateKeeper has enhanced

capabilities to communicate with gatekeepers in other networks. Using the H.323 standard LRQ and LCF

commands, this feature makes it possible to interoperate with gatekeepers from other vendors that support

LRQ/LCF, and build highly scalable networks with many zones.

New Partners:

AVAYA: Quintum has been accepted into Avaya’s Developer Connection Program as a Premier Member.

Avaya recognizes the added value that the Tenors can offer to AVAYA’s ECLIPS product line. Look for more

details about our joint solution in future Tenor Notes.

Funk Software: Funk is the premier software supplier of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)

software solutions. Funk Software's Steel-Belted Radius expands upon the basic RADIUS/AAA functionality,

adding support for the widest variety of network access equipment and back-end data systems.

VODA ONE: Quintum announced late last month that it has signed a distribution agreement with convergence

channel provider, Voda One Corp. This new partnership allows Quintum’s VARs and resellers to offer their

customers better availability for Quintum products and additional complementary products for complete solutions.

Check out the newest case study about State Information Center’s Nationwide Voice-over-IP Network in China

on our web site. The State Information Center (SIC) is the government body responsible for delivering information

technology services throughout the People’s Republic of China and has regional offices and information centers

dispersed throughout the country’s 30 provinces, operating an advanced nationwide private IP data network

running over an ATM backbone. As part of an extensive upgrade of its communications facilities, SIC decided to

link its regional offices and Beijing headquarters using voice over IP (VoIP).
