This document is the installation and user guide for the Aculab Prosody X PCI
Express card. This document covers all variants of this card.
The Prosody X PCI Express card includes options for media processing resources
(DSPs) and up to four E1/T1 interfaces. There is also an optional signalling DSP
module which may be required to support some E1 or T1 protocols. The module
includes up to two signalling DSPs, which will enable the card to process CAS and
SS7 signalling protocols. Refer to the
‘Aculab Call, Switch & Speech Driver

for further information on using and configuring signalling DSP
resources.
The Prosody X PCI Express card provides an interface between a telephone network,
an Ethernet network, a PCI Express bus (including host storage devices), and a
standard H.100 TDM expansion bus. The Prosody X PCI Express card contains a
digital switch matrix that allows arbitrarily switched interconnection between:
•
4096 speech paths on the PCI Express card H.100 CT bus
•
1 or 2 media DSPs, on the PCI Express card, for Prosody speech & IP telephony
processing
•
Telephone trunk connections via up to four E1/T1 interfaces
