Formato: PDF
If a person is proficient with the keyboard, sometimes driving Skype in this way can be easier, and faster, than if the user uses the mouse. Even if the user is not one of these people, this hack will nevertheless help the user speed up some Skype tasks. Skype has the ability to control a very limited amount of its functionality using global hotkeys. The user can set these by selecting Skype -> Tools -> Options... -> Hotkeys.

Skype Hacks: Add Fast-Dial Shortcuts to Your Menu or Desktop

When making a Skype call, the typical procedure goes something like this: double-click the Skype icon in the system tray or the Skype shortcut on the desktop, navigate to the Contacts tab, find the entry for the contact the user wants to call, and then double-click on it. Now, for some people of leisure, all this clicking is a great adventure. For the rest of us who must work for a living, wouldn't it be nice to make that call with as little as just one double-click? Fortunately, this is possible with the Windows version of Skype, as one can add shortcuts to the Windows desktop or menu for the most frequent calls.

Formato: PDF
This feature, on by default in earlier versions of Skype, is now off by default in the current version of Skype. Why Skype disabled this feature is a mystery, as it can provide a wealth of detail about what's happening during a call. Armed with this technical detail about a call, the user will not only better understand what Skype is doing behind the scenes, but also perhaps get some clues as to why Skype is performing poorly. Even if Skype is performing well, the technical details provided by this paper might give the user some ideas for further tweaking and tuning Skype's performance.

Skype Hacks: Make Calls From Your Web Browser

Formato: PDF
There are three ways in which the user can make calls directly from within a web browser. The first method uses the URL prefix skype: (note the missing //, as this method won't work if the user includes //) to control Skype from within a browser. The second method uses the callto:// URL prefix and can be used in a number of ways to make calls, including from the browser's address bar or from a link embedded in a web page. The third method uses the Skype Toolbar, which is an add-on application for Internet Explorer.

Skype Hacks: Tweak Skype by Editing config.xml

Formato: PDF
Hacking around with Skype's config.xml file can cause problems, especially if the user tinkers with settings not discussed in this paper. Skype, however, has the ability to rebuild a default - but valid - config.xml file when it encounters a problem with the existing config.xml file. This is the case even if the user renames or deletes config.xml - Skype simply builds a new one. Under such circumstances, Skype tries to restore as many of the personal settings and preferences in the new config.xml as possible, but it's always wise to make a backup of the current config.xml before one makes any changes.

Multiple System Operators' (MSOs) deployments of high speed data and voice coupled with traditional video services have been very successful. This "triple-play" provides new revenue opportunities for MSOs who have traditionally offered video services. These deployments will accelerate as Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony becomes the predominant cable telephony offering. This paper discusses the principles that facilitate different integration aspects and enable the delivery of a quality integrated operations environment for MSOs. MSOs need to be aware of these principles and look for them in vendors that are performing Integration Services.

Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, uses the internet network based on packet switching architecture using IP protocol. However, since most telephony today is supported on PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) based on circuit-switched architecture most VoIP based telephony uses a combination of the Internet and PSTN. This paper explains the VoIP technology in brief and its advantages over the existing POTS.

There are as many ways to implement IP telephony as there are ways to slice bread. IT architects and network designers need to proceed with caution and work with companies that understand the fundamentals of not only telephony, but more importantly, of the potential and value of IP telephony. The need for care in selection and implementation comes from the very high expectations of users and customers.

Structured Cabling: Cabling to Support IP Telephony

Formato: PDF
IP Telephony (Voice over Internet Protocol) in many circles is seen ultimately to be the dominant architecture of enterprise voice systems. IP Telephony involves using the local area network: cabling, router, and data switches, with an application server for all voice communications. IP Telephony has been called the future of enterprise voice communications for a variety of well-substantiated reasons. The basic premise seems simple enough; use a single network of communications devices and cabling for both data and voice traffic. This consolidation will hopefully result in decreased administration and equipment costs, as well a more feature rich voice system with all of the benefits traditionally associated with data. Contact lists, queuing, employee location changes, and new applications are on most typical short list of benefits.

Your VoIP vendor choice will influence your deployment and maintenance processes, but following general VoIP best practices will also increase the project's success. You can separate and handle voice traffic through standard, vendor-neutral protocols and design practices. Furthermore, general layout and design models for integrated VoIP and data networks provide a strong base for many VoIP deployments. VLANs, QoS, codecs, and compression will all help you build your VoIP solution atop your existing network. This document identifies and explains general best methods for deploying and maintaining successful VoIP networks.

When first designed, landline phone service was intended to carry sound signals, and its uses as a carrier of data were years away from realization. It's ironic that the technology that predated the telephone was itself a data transport technology: the telegraph. This device carried encoded messages from terminal to terminal across the 19th-century equivalent of a peer-to-peer network. A lifetime later, in the 1960s, sound-encoding devices emerged, and, very soon, computers were able to send data, represented as sound, across the telephone network. Those devices were modems, and later fax machines - the descendants of the telegraph. Modems, fax machines, voice mail systems, emergency 911 service, and a slew of other messaging tools evolved around the international telephone network.

The desire for cost control, higher user productivity, and advanced call center features is leading a growing number of companies to consider IP telephony now. The year 2005 is considered by many analysts as the "year of inflection" when more IP-PBX ports will ship than legacy digital PBX ports. This white paper reviews implementation options for enterprises that are choosing network and application convergence.

This white paper describes TDM over IP (TDMoIP) technology. TDMoIP technology, developed by RAD provides a simple conversion strategy to IP-based networks. TDMoIP carries E1, T1, E3 or T3 circuits across the packet-switched network, transparent to all protocols and signaling. Not only is TDMoIP simpler and less expensive than VoIP, but also a superior alternative in many other ways, especially in applications where the existing PBX functionality is sufficient.
