Signaling Server
CS 1000S systems use a Signaling Server. The Signaling Server is an
industry-standard, PC-based server that provides a central processor to drive
H.323 and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling for IP Phones and
IP Peer Networking. It provides signaling interfaces to the IP network using
software components that operate on the VxWorks™ real-time operating
system.
