How-to-start
Follow these steps to get your powerful Interactive Voice and Video Response Sytem (IVR / IVVR) in only 30 minutes setup process!

Just use common hardware, you can take 1U server and install a Linux 32bit OS. We recommend to use distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, Redhat to avoid specific system configurations during the setup.


Plug-in a Digium TDM card to add E1/T1 access to your server. If you want to connect 3G-324m networks this step is mandatory. If you use VoIP (SIP,…) you can skip this step and use only Ethernet IP connections.


Install a standard Asterisk PBX release from binary packages or build it yourself from the sources. If you have added the TDM board you will need to configure Zaptel for your E1/T1 connexions.



Add VXI* VoiceXML browser! Simple… just unpack and start it; you have one demo port to try with all features availables . For your productions services, you need to activate the number of ports requested or until the full server capacity (150 voice ports / 60 video ports) per server / CPU.



If you want to run 3G video calls install the 3G-324m stack for Asterisk. Install and configure your TTS engine and if you are running a VXI* release 3.0 you can connect the Lumenvox Speech Engine ASR.







Congratulations! You have now a powerful IVR / IVVR system ready to manage your own VoiceXML applications. You can start to deploy any advanced voice and video interactive services over SIP/SS7/ISDN/3G networks.
