Quick Start • 2-1 •The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board2.0 Quick StartThis section describes the first steps you should perform to determine if yourInfinity Series H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board is communicating correctly withyour CompactPCI system. You can perform this quick check without connectingany cables. The exact procedure will vary depending on which operating systemyou are running. For each operating systems, drivers are required to interface tothe boards. The drivers supplied by Amtelco have tests built into them to verifycommunications with the boards. These drivers also come supplied with utilityprograms that allow the developer to test communications with the board. Pleaseconsult the appropriate documentation for the driver and operating system youare 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.110 BasicRate ISDN 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 Basic Rate ISDN 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 chassis 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 Basic Rate ISDN Board. The board should respond with the message“IA”.7. Send the message “VC” to the board. Verify that the Receive Message reads:VCxxxxvvvvHBN (where xxxxvvvv is a variable indicating the firmwareversion).8. If the Communications screen shows the correct command responses, yourH.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board is communicating with the host. You may nowpower down the computer and attach the necessary cables (see section 3.4) Fortechnical assistance, call Amtelco at 1-608-838-4194 ext.168.Installation • 3-1 •The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board
Figure 2: Location of Jumpers, Headers, and Connectors3.0 InstallationThis section describes how to install your Infinity Series H.110 Basic Rate ISDNBoard into your computer and how to use the jumpers, headers, and connectors.Before you begin the installation procedure, be sure to test the board asdescribed in section 2.0 (Quick Start).Installation • 3-2 •The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN BoardThe Infinity Series H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board actually consists of two boards.The front board which contains the processor, DSP’s, switching, HDLCcontrollers, and logic. The rear board contains the interface and connectors tothe Basic Rate Interface ports.3.1 PCI ConfigurationAs Infinity Series boards conform to the PCI standards, there are no switches toset to configure the H.110 BRI Board's memory address, I/O addresses, orinterrupt. The host processor’s bios will automatically configure the board at boottime to avoid conflicts with other boards in the system.3.2 Jumpers & Headers for the Front BoardThe following is a complete list of all jumpers for the H.110 BRI ISDN Board: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 JW1-1.Installation • 3-3 •The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN BoardJW1-3 Undefined, reserved for future use.JW1-4 Undefined, reserved for future use.P3 Diagnostic port. Never install jumpers here.P4 This header is used for programming internal logic and should never bejumpered.
3.3 Connectors: J7, J8, & J9J7 This connector is used for the installation of a mezzanine board.J8 This connector is used for the installation of a mezzanine board.J9 This connector is used for the installation of a mezzanine board.3.4 Jumpers & Connectors for the Rear BoardJ1 Basic Rate ISDN Connections for port 0-15. This connector is a 68 pin SCSI-3type connector. It contains two pairs for each Basic Rate ISDN port or interfaceon the board. See Figure 3.J2 Basic Rate ISDN Connections for ports 16-31. This connector is a 68 pinSCSI-3 type connector. It contains two pairs for each Basic Rate ISDN port orinterface on the board. See Figure 3.JW1-8 These jumpers terminate the individual BRI ports. Termination is requiredif the port is to be used as an NT (network termination) or if it the last or only TE(terminalInstallation • 3-4 •The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN BoardFigure 3: J1 & J2 Pin Assignments equipment) on the interface. The jumpersshould be installed when termination is required. Each port requires two jumperswith port 0 using the first pair of jumpers on JW1, and port 31 using the last pairof jumpers on JW8.3.4 InstallationTo install the H.110 BRI ISDN Board in your system:1. Do not connect the board to the PSTN. Follow the quick check proceduresdescribed in section 2.0.2. 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 • 3-5 •The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN BoardFigure 4: Installing Cables on J1 and J24. Reinsert the front board into the chassis. Seat it properly in a slot in thechassis and secure it with the front panel handles. Do not connect the board tothe PSTN.5. Insert the rear board into the corresponding slot on the rear panel.6. Connect the host chassis to the mains supply using a socket-outlet withprotective earthing connection and connect any additional protective earthingused.
7. Connect the telephone cables to J1 & J2. The telephone cable terminates in a68 pin SCSI-3 male connector. Secure with mounting screws. If it issubsequently desired to open the host equipment chassis for any reason, thePSTN cable must be detached prior to effecting access to any internal partswhich may carry telecommunications network voltages.Installation • 3-6 •The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board3.5 Hot Swapping a BoardThe Infinity Series H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board can be “hot swapped, that is itcan 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 ejectortab and a blue LED. This combination is used to coordinate the actions of anoperator with the system software. When inserting a board, the board is pushedin part of the way until the blue LED is illuminated. The insertion may then becompleted. When the connection process is complete, the LED will go out. Toremove a board, the lower ejector handle is depressed until it is in the unlatchedposition. When the blue LED comes on, the board may be removed from thesystem.The rear board MUST ALWAYS be inserted BEFORE the front board, andremoved AFTER the front board.To install the front 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.Installation • 3-7 •The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN BoardTo remove the front board from a system under power:1.
