Telephony Board Installation
Setting Physical Board ID
Before you install a telephony board into a system, it is important you set the Board ID
correctly so that the system can recognize the board. You should not have duplicate
Board IDs for the same type of board. There are six different types of boards. Each type
of board has its own set of board IDs.
•
Triton Analog board (ALTI-TTAT-12, ALTI-TTAT-8, ALTI-TTAS-12): ID range 0-15
•
Triton T1/PRI board: ID range 0-7
•
Triton VoIP board: ID range 0-9
•
Triton Resource board: ID range 0 or 1
•
Triton Meet-Me Conference board: ID 0
Attaching Cables to the Telephony Boards
After all telephony boards are installed to the system, attach the 40-Pin MVIP bus ribbon
cable to the boards.
•
Be careful to make sure pins in the MVIP connector on the board line up with the
sockets on the MVIP cable. Failure to do so may damage the pins and cause voice
quality issues.
•
If an ALTI-TTAS-12 board is installed, you need to attach the power cable to a 4-pin
server power connector and to the board.
Terminating MVIP Bus
No matter what type of boards you have in the system, always terminate both ends of
the CT (MVIP) bus.
Do not have any board terminated in the middle of MVIP bus. It will cause a clocking
error and unpredictable voice quality.
Always run the CT-Bus Test Tool when you add a new board to the system.
For complete instructions on how to install telephony boards, please refer to the
Quick
Installation Guide , which is provided with every AltiGen telephony board package.
