Before You Begin
Protecting the Board from Damage
Caution!
All computer boards are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (“ESD”). Handle all static-sensitive
boards and components at a static-safe work area, and observe
anti-static precautions at all times.
If you are not familiar with ESD safety precautions, visit
http://www.dialogic.com/support/hwinstall to learn more.
Unpacking the Board
Unpack the Dialogic
®
Digital Telephony Interface Board
(“board”) according to the following steps:
1.
Prepare a static-safeguarded work area.
2.
Carefully remove the board from the shipping
carton and anti-static packaging. Handle the board
by the edges and avoid touching the board’s
components.
3.
Lay the board on the static-dissipative work
surface.
Note:
Place boards in static-shielding bags when carrying
boards from station to station.
CAUTION
: Do not remove the board from the anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install it. Observe proper
anti-static precautions at all times.
Configuring the Hardware
Board Identification
The device driver, part of the Dialogic
®
System Software,
assigns board instance numbers in ascending order (beginning
with 0) as it detects each board in your system. A board
instance number is the identification (ID) number used by the
system software to recognize the board.
NOTE:
If you add or remove a board, the system may
change the existing board instance (ID) numbers.
Windows System
Leave SW1 set to the factory default of Board ID 0 to let the
system automatically assign board instance numbers by PCI
bus slot number.
After the hardware and the system software are installed,
refer to the Dialogic
®
Configuration Manager (DCM) utility
to retrieve the assigned board instance (ID) number(s). For
more information about board identification, see the DCM
online help.
Linux System
In a Linux system, you
must
set SW1 to a unique number for
each installed board. Use a non-magnetic screwdriver to turn
SW1 to 1 of 16 board settings, 0–9 or A–F.
After the hardware and the system software are installed,
refer to the proper configuration files to retrieve the assigned
board instance (ID) number(s). For more information about
Linux configuration files, see the
Software Installation
Reference
.
Installing the Hardware
NOTE:
If you are adding hardware to an existing system,
you do not need to uninstall existing Dialogic® system
software.
1.
Working with your computer at a static-safe work area,
switch off the power and disconnect all power cords
from the electrical outlets.
2.
Remove the computer cover.
3.
Select an empty PCI expansion bus slot and remove the
slot’s retaining screw and access cover plate.
4.
If you are not installing your board in an ISA form factor
PCI slot, remove the ISA edge retainer bracket from the
board.
5.
Using the slot’s board guides, insert the edge connector of
the board into the bus slot. Press firmly until the board is
securely seated in the slot.
6.
Replace and tighten the retaining screw to secure the
board firmly in the chassis slot.
7.
Connect the external digital telephone cables to the
RJ-48C jacks (J1–J4) on the board bracket. See
Connecting to the RJ-48C Jacks
section.
