Comuniq ASA SMAS User Guide 2.0Page 5 of 9Chapter 1 IntroductionComuniq’s Streaming Media Application Server (SMAS) E1/T1 resource board provides a powerfuland flexible IP telecom platform for a variety of telecom functions. These include: interactive voiceresponse, voice over IP, and unified messaging system applications. Powerful on-board CPU/DSPresources handle up to 60 channels of voice traffic, and allow extensive IP signal processing using asingle PCI slot. The boards are 100% compliant with PMC specifications and fit both PCI and cPCIsystems. The SMAS board draws a maximum power-load of 7.1319 volts +/- 5% and an averagepower load of 6.0672 volts.This hardware is supported by an integrated software suite that offers easy access to all of the SMASboard’s functions using Windows NT, Solaris, or Linux. The open Application Programmer’sInterface (API) and extensible message interface facilitates efficient development and integration ofthird party software. Using the SMAS API, a programmer working with visual studio can develop asimple voice mail system with remarkably little code. Developers using the Microsoft COMenvironment can also access the board’s functionality using the SMAS COM object or ActiveXcontrol.This document explains the installation and use of the E1/T1 interface board and software.The target system for the SMAS board must comply with the following requirements:Processor Pentium 200MHz, minimumHD space 100 MB of available hard-disk space, minimumMemory 64 MB, minimum128 MB, recommended when running more than 30 channels ofIVRDisplay VGA, 800 x 600, 256-color video adapterOperating System Windows NT 4.0 (service pack 3 or later)Development Environment Visual Studio with service pack 3 or laterMotherboard PCI ver 2.1 or later, 32 bit @ 33 MHz
Comuniq ASA SMAS User Guide 2.0Page 6 of 9Chapter 2 Installation2.1 Hardware2.1.1 Safety NotesBefore installation, please observe the following:WARNING! Turn the computer off, disconnect the power source, and allow the internalcomponents to cool before beginning installation. This will reduce the risk of personalinjury from hot surfaces and electrical hazards.The SMAS board is a static sensitive device and requires compliance with static precaution measures.CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you areproperly grounded before beginning this procedure. Proper packaging and groundingtechniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostaticdamage observe the following precautions:• Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.• Cover work areas with an approved static-dissipating material. Wear a grounding wriststrap that has been connected to the work surface, and make sure that all tools andequipment are properly grounded.• Keep work area free of non-conductive materials including the plastic assembly aids andfoam used in packing.• Always wear a properly grounded wrist strap when touching a static-sensitive componentor assembly.• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.2.1.2 InstallationBefore beginning installation, turn off all power to the computer designated for the installation of theSMAS board. Failure to do so may damage the computer and/or SMAS board.Insert the SMAS board into an available PCI or Compact PCI slot. Ensure that the board is securelyheld in place by either screws or clips.
Comuniq ASA SMAS User Guide 2.0Page 7 of 9Figure 2-1 This photograph shows the SMAS board installed into a standard PCI slot.When installing the hardware into a standard PCI configuration system, insert the SMAS board intothe PCI slot as shown in Figure 2-1.Figure 2-2 The SMAS board may be installed into a cPCI slot as shown.For systems that with a compact PCI configuration, insert the SMAS board into the compact PCI slotas shown in Figure 2-2.After you have secured the SMAS board in the appropriate slot, install the auxiliary cooling fan so thatit blows on the SMAS board. Failure to install a cooling fan will adversely affect performance.After you have installed the cooling fan, remember to fully reassemble the computer before restoringpower to the system. Once power is restored, you may start the computer and log on as you normallywould.2.1.3 The RJ-48C ConnectorsThe SMAS card has four RJ-48-C connectors, which can be connected to four T1/E1 trunks. Trunks 1and 3 are currently used for debugging; thus, only trunks 0 & 2 should be used to handle traffic.The RJ-45-C connector is the D-mark for a T1/E1 connection. Figure 2-3 shows the pin-out for astandard RJ-48-C connector.

A description of each pin is contained in Table 2-1.Table 2-1 shows the pin configuration for the RJ-48-C connector. Pins 1 and 2 are applied to thetwisted pair which is the receive channel. Pins 4 and 5 are applied to the twisted pair which is thetransmit channel for the T1/E1 connection.Table 2-1 A description of each pin in the RJ-48C connector is shown here.Pin Number Description1Receive from PSTN network, B wire2Receive from PSTN network, A wire3No connection4Transmit to PSTN network, B wire5Transmit to PSTN network, A wire6No connection7Optional Shield8Optional ShieldThe four trunks are numbered from 0 to 3 in ascending order starting with 0 at the left edge of thecard. This assumes that the card is held with the Intel i960 processor face-up and the E1/T1 trunkspointed away from the viewer. Each trunk has one ITU-T LED indicator on the left-hand side of theconnector. The use of these LEDs is described in Section 3.2.2 SoftwareTo install the SMAS SW you must have administrator rights on the target machine.The software can be installed from a CD or the Comuniq web site. For those with web access, go tohttp//www.comuniq.com and locate the link to the most recent software version. You may downloadthe self-extracting file to any directory you choose. Similarly, if you received the software on a CD,copy the self-extracting file to whatever directory you prefer. To start the installation double-click onthe file icon.To ensure trouble-free installation and operation, please be sure that the target system complies withall minimum requirements.After clicking Next>, you must decide which components you would like to install. Once you havechosen these options, click Next>. You may choose a custom name for the program folder thatappears on the start menu, or you may elect to use the default folder.
Comuniq ASA SMAS User Guide 2.0Page 9 of 9You have the option of selecting a destination folder for the program files. If you do not specify analternate directory, the software will be loaded into the folder “C:\Comuniq.” If you choose the defaultinstallation, these subfolders will be created:\Comuniq\BIN - contains all SMAPI binary\Comuniq\Samples\Monitor - contains Monitor source code\Comuniq\Doc - contains all documentation\Comuniq\Firmware - Copy of Firmware upgrades\Comuniq\Redist\ - Redistributable files\Comuniq\Include\ - Include files for SMAPI applications\Comuniq\Lib\ - Library files for SMAPI applicationAs soon as you have selected the destination and program folders, all of the necessary files will becopied to your hard drive. When all of the files have been copied, a dialog box with the words,“installation complete” will appear. Now, you must reboot your system so that Windows willrecognize the new drivers you have installed.After rebooting, you are finished installing the software and drivers on your system. However, if youare running the SMAS board for the first time, you must still update the firmware.2.3 Updating the firmware on the SMAS boardYou must update the firmware stored on the SMAS board before using the software inrelease 2.0. (This one-time procedure is only necessary the first time you use the board.)To update the firmware on the SMAS board, first run the program, psh.exe, found in the firmwaredirectory of the Comuniq folder. This program will allow you to choose which code to download tothe board. Always download ixworks.ddm before the altera.ddm. A command will appear on thescreen.Press the ‘d’ key to issue the download command. The computer will ask for the name of a file todownload. Type ‘ixworks.ddm’ and press ‘enter’. The screen will indicate when the download iscomplete. Quit the program by pressing ‘q’. Reboot the computer and run ‘psh.exe’ again, using thesame procedure to download ‘altera.ddm’.Once you have downloaded altera.ddm, you must reboot your system one last time. This will ensurethat the proper code is started on the SMAS board. The SMAS board is now ready for use. You willnot need to repeat this procedure for a given board unless an updated version of the firmware becomesavailable.
