ECHO's direct digital integration with Cisco's VoIP network enables the pooling of voice VLAN ports through SPAN or RSPAN. ECHO™ then groups and monitors these ports according to the customer's business strategies.
ECHO™ interfaces directly to Cisco's IP telephony switch. This ease of integration results from a design based upon existing network architecture. No conversion or extra equipment is necessary because ECHO™ utilizes features native to Cisco's switch. This eliminates failures typical of physical connections and overhead associated with wiring directly into phone extensions.
The benefits of ECHO™-Cisco integration are:
- Seamless integration - ECHO™ and CallManager share the existing Cisco network as independent services.
- Flexible and scalable - The versatility of ECHO's open modular design adapts to any telephony monitoring need.
- Compliance with Cisco's VoIP Monitor Server Best Practices - ECHO's design.
