Quick Start • 2-1 •The H.110 MC3/Conference Board2.0 Quick StartThis section describes the first steps you should perform to determine if yourInfinity Series H.110 MC3 Multi-Chassis Interconnect & Conference Board iscommunicating correctly with your CompactPCI system. You can perform thisquick check without connecting any cables. The exact procedure will varydepending on which operating system you are running. For each operatingsystems, drivers are required to interface to the boards. The drivers supplied byAmtelco have tests built into them to verify communications with the boards.These drivers also come supplied with utility programs that allow the developer totest communications with the board. Please consult the appropriatedocumentation for the driver and operating system you are using.Quick Start Procedure1. With the chassis power off, insert the board into a slot.2. Turn on the computer.3. If the Amtelco driver is not already installed, install it now, following theinstructions supplied with the driver.4. Most Amtelco drivers will display a list of boards that are installed (see thedocumentation for the particular driver that you are using). If the H.110MC3/Conference board is listed, skip to step 6.5. If the board is not listed, there may be a problem with the board not beingseated correctly in the backplane. There may also be a problem with a memoryor interrupt conflict. Power down the chassis and check that the board is properlyseatedQuick Start • 2-2 •The H.110 MC3/Conference Boardin the connector and repeat steps 1-4. If this does not remedy the problem, tryremoving any other computer telephony boards in the system. If your PC isunable to find the board, consult the number at the end of this section.6. Run the program “xdsutil” supplied with the driver. Send the message “IN” tothe H.110 MC3/Conference board. The board should respond with the message“IA”.7. Send the message “VC” to the board. Verify that the Receive Message reads:VCxxxxvvvvH03 (where xxxxvvvv is a variable indicating the firmwareversion).8. If the Communications screen shows the correct command responses, yourH.110 MC3/Conference Board is communicating with the PC. You may nowpower down the computer and attach the necessary cables (see section 3.4)For technical assistance, call Amtelco at 1-608-838-4194 ext.168.
Installation • 3-1 •The H.110 MC3/Conference Board3.0 InstallationThis section describes how to install your Infinity Series H.110 MC3 Multi-Chassis Interconnect and Conference Board into your computer and how to setthe switches, jumpers, and connectors. Before you begin the installationprocedure, be sure to test the board as described in section 2.0 (Quick Start).Figure 2: Location of Jumpers Headers, and Connectors3.1 PCI ConfigurationAs Infinity Series boards conform to the PCI standards, there are no switches toset to configure the H.110 MC3/Conference Board's memory address, I/Oaddresses, or interrupt. The host processor’s bios will automatically configure theboard at boot time to avoid conflicts with other boards in the system.Installation • 3-2 •The H.110 MC3/Conference Board3.2 Jumpers & HeadersThe following is a complete list of all jumpers for the H.110 MC3/ConferenceBoard:JW1-1 Firmware Select. If firmware has been downloaded to the board, thisjumper selects whether the downloaded firmware or the factory default firmwareis used. When this jumper is installed, the factory default firmware is executedwhenever the board is reset. When the jumper is not installed, the Downloadedfirmware will be executed after a reset if it is present. If no downloaded firmwareis present, the factory default firmware is executed after reset.JW1-2 DSP Firmware Select. Two separate firmware programs are included inthe EAROM, one for the board processor and one for the DSP. If JW1-2 isinstalled and downloaded DSP firmware is present, the factory DSP firmware isexecuted after reset. Otherwise, the downloaded firmware is executed if present.See JW1-1JW1-3 Undefined, reserved for future use.JW1-4 Undefined, reserved for future use..JW3 This jumper is used for factory testing and should not havejumpers installed.
P3 Diagnostic port. Never install jumpers here.P4 This header is used for programming internal logic and shouldnever be jumpered.Installation • 3-3 •The H.110 MC3/Conference Board3.3 Connectors: P5, P6 and J1P5 Ring 0 RCV, Ring 1 XMT. This is one of the two fiber optic transceivers forthe MC3 bus. In a normal counter rotating ring connection, the fibers from thistransceiver are connected to P6 in the next chassis in the ring. This connector iskeyed to insure proper insertion.P6 Ring 1 RCV, Ring 0 XMT. This is one of the two fiber optic transceivers forthe MC3 bus. In a normal counter rotating ring connection, the fibers from thistransceiver are connected to P5 in the previous chassis in the ring. Thisconnector is keyed to insure proper insertion.J1 Analog port. This port can be used to connect a music source or other deviceanalog port for music on hold. The connector is a standard 1/8” headphone jack.The music source should be at standard line levels.J1A Analog input. This header is connected in parallel with J1. It will connectwith the audio output of a PC CD-ROM drive.3.4 InstallationTo install the H.110 MC3/Conference Board in your system:1. Follow the quick check procedures described in section 2.0 to verify theoperation of the board.2. If the quick check is successful, turn off the chassis power and remove theboard from the chassis.3. Install any necessary board jumpers. See section 3.2 for jumperconfigurations.Installation • 3-4 •The H.110 MC3/Conference Board4. Insert the board into the chassis. Seat it properly in a slot in the chassis andsecure it with the front panel handles.5. Connect the fiber optic cables to P5 and P6. See section 6.4 for details on thevarious ring configurations.6. If the analog port is to be used, connect the music source or other compatibledevice.7. Power up the computer.
3.5 Hot Swapping a BoardThe Infinity Series H.110 MC3/Conferencing Board can be “hot swapped,” that isit can be removed from a functioning system without turning the power off orinterrupting applications. However, to be able to do this, the host processor mustbe equipped with suitable hot swap drivers as well as a hot swap manager whichwill alert applications when a board has been inserted or removed from thesystem so that resources can be properly managed. It is beyond the scope of thismanual to describe the operation of either the hot swap driver or hot swapmanager.Each H.110 board is equipped with a switch linked to the lower ejector tab and ablue LED. This combination is used to coordinate the actions of an operator withthe system software. When inserting a board, the board is pushed in part of theway until the blue LED is illuminated. The insertion may then be completed.When the connection process is complete, the LED will go out. To remove aboard, the lower ejector handle is depressed until it is in the unlatched position.When the blue LED comes on, the board may be removed from the system.Installation • 3-5 •The H.110 MC3/Conference BoardTo install the board in a system under power:1. Insert the board with the ejector tabs spread apart until partially engaged.2. Wait until the blue LED is illuminated.3. Finish inserting the board by pushing the ejector tabs towards each other. TheLED should then go out.To remove the front board from a system under power:1. Depress the lower ejector tab until it is in the unlatched position.2. Wait until the blue LED is illuminated.3. Finish removing the board by spreading the ejector tabs apart until the board isejected.Installation • 3-6 •The H.110 MC3/Conference BoardFigure 3: Front Panel with Status and Hot Swap LEDs, MC3 Fiber Connectors,and Top and Bottom Ejector Handles
