YEASTAR TG100 VOIP GSM GATEWAY / INTERFACE WITH PBX COMPATIBLE SIP

Two solutions are available today to make on-call calls by Text-To-Speech with Topkapi:

• Use of a YEASTAR TG100 VoIP GSM gateway: calls are made via the GSM network -> this requires a subscription to an operator with an associated SIM card.
• Interface with a PBX compatible SIP (telephone exchange): the PBX can be a hardware solution hosted in your infrastructure or a service rented from a cloud operator. In this case, we invite you to contact your usual contact for more informatio

Both solutions require Topkapi version 6.1 or higher.

The YEASTAR TG100 GSM VoIP Gateway is available from various suppliers on the internet:

• IP&Go
• Onedirect
• Amazon

Using a hub to plug USB ports over Ethernet network meets the need to virtualize software applications (a single PC can simulate several machines) in the VMware virtual environment.

For Topkapi, this allows recognition of the USB dongle when installing a license on a virtual machine.

Hubs (5 ports) called Anywhere USB from DIGI are validated to work in this environment.
