ISN VRU Deployments with NIC Routing
NIC with Type 2 or 8 ISN Advanced Speech Deployment, ICM Enterprise
In this deployment model, the ISN works with the Voice Gateway to act as the VRU; VRU voice 
treatment is provided the Gateway and can include ASR/TTS.
When deployed with a NIC being used to queue and transfer calls (VRU Type 8), the NIC interfaces to 
the TDM switch to transfer the call to an agent. When deployed with a NIC used to preroute the call 
(VRU Type 2), the ISN also acts as a switch to transfer the call to an agent; queuing and network transfers 
are not possible.
Note
The ISN Voice Browser is not part of this deployment.
 shows the call flow for the Type 2 deployment model; in this figure, the ISN transfers the 
call. 
 shows the call flow for the Type 8 deployment model; in this figure, the NIC transfers 
the call. 
Note
For simplicity, the figure does not illustrate a deployment for redundancy and failover. Also, the 
Gatekeeper is not shown.
