Cisco DSP SPA for ASR 1000 Series Overview
Features of SPA-DSP
Following are the features of SPA-DSP:
• Enhances ASR 1000 Series Router capabilities by providing DSP-based voice transcoding and
transrating solutions.
• Translates one type of media stream (voice) to another type of media stream that uses different
media encoding and decoding technologies.
• Enables translation between different packetization settings and provides dual tone multifrequency
(DTMF) interworking.
• Provisions the configuration of SBC as either a Unified SBC or Distributed SBC with on-board
DSPs or with a centralized DSP providing trancoding for multiple SBCs.
• Faceplates LEDs to indicate SPA status.
• Monitors voltage and temperature.
• Supports online insertion and removal (OIR).
