Installation
2.1
Installing additional Modules
Additional modules available:
•
Line Interface Modules —port E1 or T1 module available (J5 & J6)
•
Signalling DSP Module — CAS protocol and DTMF support (J7 & J8)
If a card has been purchased which has no optional modules fitted, then fitting additional
Aculab modules to the expansion ports increases the capability of the card. Normally this would
be accomplished by returning the card to Aculab for upgrade. The process is relatively
straightforward and can be carried out by competent personnel by using the following
instructions.
1. Remove the Prosody cPCI card from the Compact PCI© slot, ensuring that the appropriate
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) measures are taken.
2. Fit the expansion module to connectors, ensuring correct orientation and mating of the
connectors. (see the above diagram and the documentation supplied with the expansion kit)
3. Secure the module to the card using 8mm spacers and appropriate screws and washers.
(Supplied with the module when purchased as an expansion kit).
4. Repeat steps two and three for the additional module.
5. Replace the Prosody cPCI card into the host Compact PCI© slot and engage locking tabs.
Refer to the ‘
Call, Switch and Speech Driver Installation Guide
’ for Signalling System
information regarding the use of the PM4 Line Interface Module and Signalling DSP.
Note
Only the expansion modules designed for the Prosody cPCI card are suitable for use. Any attempt to use different modules may cause
damage, will invalidate warranty and may invalidate approvals.

Installing the card
The installation procedure for expansion cards will vary from one type of host computer to
another, and the exact details of the installation procedures for expansion cards must be sought
in the user guide supplied by the host computer manufacturer. However, in general:
•
Do not connect the Prosody cPCI card to the 2.048/1.554 Mbit/s service or Primary Rate
ISDN network termination port until this document, and in particular the sections marked
'Installation and Safety', have been read in full and understood.
•
Proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) procedures should be maintained throughout.
To install the card to the host:
