 Protect Yourself from Electric Shock 

To reduce the risk of electric shock: 

n

 

Switch off the power and remove power cords  
before opening the computer case to install the 
D/41D or D/21D. 

n

 

Do not re-attach power cords and switch on power 
to the computer while the computer case is removed. 

 Protect the Board from Static Electricity 

Computer boards are static-sensitive and can be damaged 
by touching or handling them. To prevent damage from 
static electricity, do the following: 

n

 

Wear a grounded, static-dissipative wrist-strap for 
the entire hardware installation. 

n

 

Keep the board in its anti-static container when it is 
not being handled. 

n

 

Work at a static-safe work area (see Figure 1).

 Static-safe work area

 

 

A static-safe work area consists of a grounded static-
dissipative wrist strap and a work surface covered with 
or composed of a grounded static-dissipative material. 
The work surface drains electrical charges from conduc-
tive materials when the materials are placed on the sur-
face. The grounded static-dissipative wrist strap drains 
stat ic charge from the person wearing the strap. Both 
components ensure that static charges are drained at a 
rate and current level that are safe. Both must be used 
any time a person is handling any component.  

Read Your Software Documentation 

Your application software or Dialogic software release 
(hereinafter collectively called “

voice software

”) may 

have special installation or configuration instructions or 
requirements. Be sure to read all software documentation 
for any such instructions or requirements.  

Installation Order 

You can install the D/41D or D/21D and voice software 
in any order, but Dialogic recommends that you install 
the voice software first when running in a Windows

 95 

or Windows NT

 environment, and board first in any 

other operating system environment. 

D/41D or D/21D Factory Defaults 

You may be able to use the factory defaults when install-
ing the D/41D or D/21D board. Read through these 
instructions and check for possible interrupt level (IRQ) 
and memory address conflicts between the D/41D or 
D/21D board and other software or hardware devices 
(for example, video card or CD ROM controller card) 
before installing the board.  

Note:

  

If you own a software utility that can determine 

what IRQs and memory addresses are in use, run it to 
help determine potential conflicts before installing the  
D/41D or D/21D. Some voice software includes such a 
software utility, or a separate board configuration utility, 
to help with the D/41D or D/21D installation and 
configuration. 

 

Configuring the 

Hardware 

Configuring Multiple Voice Boards (JP7) 

You can install up to 16 D/41D or D/21D boards in a 
system. One and only one board in a system can have 
the jumper on JP7 installed (see D/41D Physical 
Description): 

n

 

One board: Leave the jumper on JP7 installed 
(default). 

n

 

Multiple boards: Remove the jumper on JP7 from  

all

 

but 

one board.

Setting the Hardware Interrupt Level (JP1) 

The default hardware interrupt level (IRQ) is IRQ 2/9; 
IRQ 2 is used when the board is installed in an XT-type 
PC and IRQ 9 is used with an AT-type PC.  

Change the IRQ by moving the jumper on jumper block 
JP1 (see Figure 2) to another IRQ setting if IRQ 2 or 9 is 
in use by another device. 

Note:

  Set every D/41D and D/21D board in the system 

to the same IRQ level. 

Set the Memory Address 

Each D/41D or D/21D and compatible voice board 
installed in a computer must have a unique memory 
address consisting of a base memory address segment 
and an offset address.  

Set the Base Memory Address Segment  
(JP5 and JP6) 

The default base memory address segment for the D/41D 
and D/21D is D000H (Hexadecimal). Generally, you 
should use the default unless there are more than eight 
boards in your system or if other non-Dialogic devices in 
your system must use the D000H segment. Select the 
base address memory segment with jumpers JP5 and JP6 
(see Figure 2) as follows:

* Be aware of possible conflicts with devices that often

BIOS. 

Set the Offset Address (SW1:1, 2, 3) 

The default offset address for the D/41D and D/21D is 
0000H. Each D/41D and D/21D board in your system 
requires a unique address, so you must change the offset 
address on every additional D/41D and D/21D board. If 
you need to change an offset address, set the switches 1, 
2, and 3 on SW1 (see Figure 2) as follows:

While you can map only one D/41D or D/21D 
board to an offset, you can set multiple boards to 
consecutive offsets within a base memory 
segment as shown in the following example.
