About This Manual

In 1990, a consortium of PC telephony leaders, including Natural MicroSystems and seven other companies, established an industry standard telephony bus. The Multi-Vendor Integration Protocol (MVIP) bus is the most widely adopted bus in the PC telephony industry and continues to evolve.
MVIP provides a flexible and uniform way of moving telephony service components into a standard computer chassis. MVIP applications include voice processing, fax, speech recognition, telephone call switching and call processing, audio conferencing, data communications, and numerous telephony interfaces.
Getting Started With MVIP Switching is intended for developers who want to write applications with MVIP switching.
This manual is organized as follows: For... See... An overview of the basic principles of switching. Chapter 1 - What is Switching? A definition of MVIP switching. Chapter 2 - MVIP Switching An explanation of the switch block model with switching examples. Chapter 3 - The Switch Block Model Details about MVIP clock configuration and fallback procedures. Chapter 4 - MVIP Clocking Information about H.100 bus and MVIP-90 bus interaction. Chapter 5 - MVIP-90 and H.100 Bus Interaction A glossary of related terms. Appendix A - Glossary An example switching application. Appendix B - Switching Example An overview of switching implementations. Appendix C- Switching Implementation
