VCPM/VPM Purchase Guide
The main boards of the MSR20-40 and MSR30 series routers provide voice co-processing module
(VCPM) and voice processing module (VPM) slots, but have no VCPM and VPM modules installed
when MSR is shipped from the factory.
The SIC-VE1/SIC-VT1 module does not provide any VCPM or VPM slot, and can only use the VCPM
and VPM installed on the main board of MSR.
The MIM-1VE1/MIM-1VT1 module provides a VCPM and a VPM slot, and the
MIM-2VE1/MIM-2VT1 module provides a VCPM and two VPM slots. Each MIM-VE1/MIM-VT1
module has a VCPM installed but has no VPM installed when it is shipped from the factory.
The VCPM module used for the main board of MSR20-40 and MSR30 series routers and the VCPM
module that comes pre-installed on the MIM-VE1/VT1 module are different and cannot be used
interchangeably.
The VPM module used for the main board of an MSR20-40 or MSR30 series router is the same as
that installed on the MIM-VE1/VT1 module
When you install a SIC-VE1/SIC-VT1 module into a supported MSR20-40 and MSR30 series
routers, then you also need to install a VCPM and VPM on the main board of the MSR. The number
of VPMs needed depends on the number of calls. Installation should be performed by HP personnel
or an Authorized HP partner.
The MIM-VE1/VT1 module must be used with VPM installed. The number of VPMs needed depends
on the number of calls.
If you install more than one MIM-VE1/MIM-VT1 modules (or one MIM-VE1/MIM-VT1 module and
one SIC-VE1/SIC-VT1 module) into a supported MSR30 series router, you need to add another
VCPM on the main board of the MSR.
If you install a single MIM-VE1/MIM-VT1 module into MSR30 series routers, no more VCPM is
needed.
Because the initiator of a three-party conference is responsible for audio mixing, so when using
MSR as the initiator of a three-party conference, the main board of MSR must have VPM installed.
Do not install a VCPM on the MSR20-12 router when installing a SIC-VE1/SIC-VT1 module on them.
Each main board of the MSR20-12 routers provides only one VPN slot. The specifications and
number of VPMs needed depend on the number of calls. Installation should be performed by HP
personnel or an authorized HP partner.
The multi-service module A (MSCA) of an MSR50 series router provides VCPM and VPM slots, but
the multi-service module B (MSCB) provides only one VCPM slot. No VCPM and VPM slots are
installed when MSR is shipped.
Install VCPM and VPM modules on a MSCA when installing the SIC-VE1/SIC-VT1 on the MSR50
series routers. The specifications and number of VPM modules needed depend on the number of
calls.
The FIC-1VE1/FIC-1VT1 module provides one VCPM slot and one VPM slot and the
FIC-2VE1/FIC-2VT1 module provides one VCPM and two VPM slots. The FIC-2VE1/FIC-2VT1
module has a VCPM installed when MSR is shipped.
