Infinity Series H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Documentation Revision 0.3: June 7, 2000 Copyright © 2000 by American Tel-A-Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 258M001 Quick Start • 2-1 • The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board 2.0 Quick Start This section describes the first steps you should perform to determine if your Infinity Series H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board is communicating correctly with your Compac tPCI system. You can perform this quick check without connecting any cables. The exact procedure will vary depending on which operating system you are running. For each operating systems, drivers are required to interface to the boards. The drivers supplied by Amtelco have tests built into them to verify communications with the boards. These drivers also come supplied with utility programs that allow the developer to test communications with the board. Please consult the appropriate documentation for the driver and operating system you are using. Quick Start Procedure 1. 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 the instructions supplied with the driver. 4. Most Amtelco drivers will display a list of boards that are installed (see the documentation for the particular driver that you are using). If the H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board is listed, skip to step 6. 5. If the board is not listed, there may be a problem with the board not being seated correctly in the backplane. There may also be a problem with a memory or interrupt conflict. Power down the chassis and check that the board is properly seated Quick Start • 2-2 • The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board in the connector and repeat steps 1-4. If this does not remedy the problem, try removing any other computer telephony boards in the system. If your chassis is unable 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” to the 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 firmware vers ion). 8. If the Communications screen shows the correct command responses, your H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board is communicating with the host. You may now power down the computer and attach the necessary cables (see section 3.4) For technical assistance, call Amtelco at 1-608-838-4194 ext.168.

All rights reserved. 258M001 Introd uction • 1-1 • The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board 1.0 Introduction The Infinity Series H.110 Basic Rate Interface ISDN Board is designed to provide thirty-two Basic Rate ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) interfaces connected to the H.110 bus on a board with the Compac tPCI bus form factor. Each interface or port provides a D channel for call control signaling and two 64 kbps. B channels for either speech or circuit switched data. Each port can be independently configured as either a TE (Terminal Equipment) or NT (Network Termination) interface. The board provides complete support for the ISDN Layer 1 and Layer 2 protocols, as well as optional support for the Layer 3 protocols as defined in Q.931. In addition, the board is equipped with several DSP’s to provide tone generation and detection. The H.110 bus was devised by the Enterprise Computer Telephony Forum (ECTF) to provide a single telecom bus for the entire industry. It is intended for add-in boards using the Compac tPCI form factor. A variety of boards are available from a number of different vendors. The H.110 specifications also provides for hot swap capabilities for use in high availability applications. The board is equipped with a processor that can be used to control the lower level functions of the board. The host PC controls the board using messages passed through dual-ported RAM. The board shares a common message passing and control scheme with other Infinity Series H.110 boards. 1.1 Features and Capabilities This section presents an overview of the features and capabilities of the Infinity Series H.110 Basic Rate Interface ISDN Board. Introd uction • 1-2 • The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board Figure 1: The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board Functional Areas 1.1.1 The Physical Interface Thirty-two independent ports are provided on the board. Each port on the board provides a complete S/T Basic Rate ISDN interface. This interface can be configured under software control as either a piece of terminal equipment to interface to a central office or PBX, or as a network termination to interface to terminal equipment such as ISDN phone sets or ISDN modems. Layer 1 support is provided by the board to handle all the details of framing and clocking. Each port provides two independent B1 channels which operate at 64 kbps. Introd uction • 1-3 • The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board These channels can be switched to the H.110 bus, to each other, or to one of the DSP resources. In addition, there is a 16 kbps D channel which is used for signaling. 1.1.2 Signaling Protocols ISDN uses the LAPD protocol on the D channel for call control. The Layer 2 protocol defines the mechanism used for the exchange of messages between terminal equipment and the network termination. The board manages the details of this protocol while providing commands to control aspects such as TEI (Terminal Endpoint Identifier) address management. Call control is handled by the exchange of Layer 3 messages as defined by the Q.931 standard. The H.110 BRI Board allows the application to directly read and write the raw binary information field of these messages. Optionally, a higher level interface is provided that masks some of the details of these messages, making for a simplified applications interface. This is done through the use of “D” messages. 1.1.3 DSP Functions The H.110 BRI ISDN Board is equipped with DSP’s that performs a variety of functions. DTMF and Energy detectors are available for each B channel. DTMF generators are available for each B channel for signaling purposes. Call Progress tones are also available, with dial-tone, busy, reorder, and audible ringback being provided as well as silence and a 1004 Hz. calibration tone. 1.1.4 The H.110 Bus The H.110 bus is a digital bus for transporting PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signals between telephony boards. It was created by the ECTF to provide a common bus structure for future development that would end the “bus wars” between the various legacy busses such as the SCbus and the MVIP bus. Introd uction • 1-4 • The H.110 Basic Rate ISDN Board PCM is a standard method of digitizing phone signals. It involves encoding each channel at an 8 kHz rate using eight bits. The signals from multiple channels are then combined into a frame. On the H.110 bus, each frame consists of 128 channels or timeslots. The bit rate of the H.110 bus is 8.192 MHZ. Thirty-two wires, also called streams, each carrying 128 timeslots, are combined to form the bus, and provide a total of 4096 timeslots. Two timeslots are required for a full conversation, one for each talker. In addition to the streams, a number of other signals necessary to maintain synchronization between all the boards in the system are carried on the bus. These signals provide the clocking and framing information. Redundant clocks are provided to aid in recovery if the primary clock should fail. The H.110 bus consists of backplane connections on a 6U Compac tPCI backplane that is used to interconnect the boards in the system. The CT Bus connections are made through the J4/P4 connector. The electrical and mechanical requirements of H.110 boards are tightly specified to insure the reliability and consistent performance of the CT Bus in any valid configuration of conforming boards. 1.1.5 Clock Modes The H.110 BRI Board can operate in a variety of clock modes. Modes are available so that the master clock can either be derived from the H.110 bus, one of the Basic Rate Interfaces, or be provided by the H.110 BRI Board. The clock redundancy and clock fallback functions of the H.110 bus are also supported so that the H.110 BRI Board can be set to provide a clock to the H.110 bus if the master clock on that bus should fail. 1.1.6 Hot Swap Capability The H.110 Specification includes “hot swap” capability.…
