Abstract:
A method of simultaneously processing first and second calls in a distributed voice processing system comprising at least first, second, and third systems connected by an isochronous network, said first and second calls being handled by first and second telephony interface ports respectively at said first system, said method including the steps of:determining that the first call should be handled by an application processor unit on said second system, and the second call should be handled by an application processor unit on said third system;establishing a first connection between said first telephony interface port on said first system and said application processor unit on said second system via said isochronous network;establishing a second connection between said second telephony interface port on said first system and said application processor unit on said third system via said isochronous network;receiving telephony input and/or transmitting a first telephony signal over said connection at/from said application processor unit on the second system to handle said first call; andreceiving telephony input and/or transmitting a second telephony signal over said connection at/from said application processor unit on the third system to handle said second call.
