3.6 Network
Timing
The Prosody cPCI card has been tested for compliance with the pulse and jitter requirements of
CCITT G703, I431, ETS300-011 and in some cases additional national or international service
requirements.
The Prosody cPCI card usually derives the timing for both of its network output ports from one of
the network receive ports.
Alternatively, the Prosody cPCI card may be configured to derive the timing for network output
ports from the H.110 CTBus, MVIP bus or SC-Bus clock. The jitter performance required to
maintain the card's approval status is only guaranteed if the external clock is derived from
another Aculab E1/T1 Digital Access card that is connected to the network. Other clock
configurations may require further testing to ensure compliance.
3.7 Power
Supply
The Prosody cPCI card takes its power from the host computer expansion bus and has the
following power requirements:
5 Amps Max at +5V (DC) +/- 5%
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the host computer will be able to safely supply the
power required by the card in addition to any other auxiliary apparatus drawing power from it.
The card is specified to operate correctly with a tolerance (plus or minus) of 5% on the nominal
DC power supply voltage.
3.8 Approved
Functionality
Details of the approved functionality are included in the country specific appendices.
3.9 Regulatory
Warnings.
The CE Marking has been applied to the Aculab GroomerII to demonstrate compliance with the
following European standards.
EN55022 and EN55024 for electromagnetic compatibility.
EN60950 for electrical safety.
3.10 Approval
Label
Users are reminded that when the card has been installed in a host computer, it is still only the
card that is approved. The Approval label must not be attached to the host.
3.11 Documentation
Release
To ensure operation of the Prosody cPCI card consistent with the terms of Approval, it is
essential to ensure that the card is accompanied by the correct release of the instructions for use,
and is used in conjunction with appropriate device drivers.
If an application developer, by virtue of an application program, reduces the functionality of the
Prosody cPCI card before delivery, then the instructions for use may be rewritten so that only the
functionality implemented is described, provided that all of the sections regarding approval,
installation and connection are retained.
3.12 Software
Release
To ensure correct operation of the Prosody cPCI, it is necessary that application programs be
built using the correct release of software files for the particular revision of the Prosody cPCI
card. To aid this process it is recommended that the application program read the major revision
level from the device driver, and compares it with the major revision value for which their
application was built and tested. The minor revision level is essentially a documentary indicator,
but the major revision level value indicates a change that may impact the Host application.
