Implementing and Operating Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies (CLCOR) — Question 382

An engineer must add resources to a Cisco Catalyst gateway that is currently used to route calls to and from the PSTN to provide these additional services:

• conferencing
• transcoding

What must be added to the gateway?

Answer options

• A. digital signal processor
• B. hardware transcoder
• C. MTP
• D. Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A digital signal processor (DSP) is essential for handling tasks like conferencing and transcoding in a gateway. While a hardware transcoder could also assist in transcoding, it does not encompass the full range of capabilities required for both conferencing and transcoding, which DSPs are designed for. MTP and the Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application do not provide the necessary processing power for these specific services.
