Setting the Initial Hook Switch State (SW1:4) 

SW1 switch 4 (SW 1:4 in Figure 2) sets the initial hook 
switch state for the D/41D and D/21D board. This 
setting is active 

only 

when the PC is powered on but the 

firmware has not yet been downloaded to the board.  

If the initial hook switch state is set to on-hook (default) 
the board presents an inbound call with a ring no answer 
state. You can change the initial hook switch state to off-
hook to present a busy signal instead. 

Once the firmware is downloaded, the hook switch state 
is set to on-hook, and may only be changed by the 
application controlling the board.  

It is not necessary to set all D/41D or D/21D boards in 
the system to the same default hook switch state.

Configuring the Line Source (JP8) 

The D/21D and D/41D boards can send and receive 
audio signals through a built-in loop start interface (J1 
and J2) or an external interface through the AEB (P3). 
Select the line source with JP8 (see D/41D Physical 
Description) as follows:

Increasing Ring Detection Threshold Behind 
a PBX (JP101–JP401) 

If a board has problems detecting rings behind a PBX,  
you can lower the ring detection threshold. To lower the 
threshold on a channel-by-channel basis, install the 
jumpers JP101–JP401 (see D/41D Physical Description) 
as follows: 

 

Channel 1 
Channel 2 
Channel 3 
Channel 4 

Jumper JP101 
Jumper JP201 
Jumper JP301 
Jumper JP401 

 

Note:

  A lower threshold may be too sensitive for 

boards connected to the CO and cause false detection of 
rings. 

Installing the Hardware 

1.  Prepare a static-safe work area, turn off all power to 

the system, and disconnect the system’s power cords 
from electrical outlets. 

2.  Remove the PC cover. 

3.  Select an empty ISA expansion bus slot, and remove 

the slot’s retaining screw and access coverplate. 

4.  Insert the board’s edge connector into the bus slot. 

5.  Replace and tighten the retaining screw. 

Select a new slot and repeat steps 3–5 for each board 
you are installing. Use an AEB cable to connect this 
board with other boards (for example, Dialogic AMX/81 
or DTI/124 T-1) in the system. Reinstall the PC cover 
when finished. 

Make the Connections 

n

 

The D/21D supports one channel per RJ-14 jack. 
The D/41D supports two channels per RJ-14 
jack. 

n

 

You can use an RJ-11 connector with the D/21D. 
If you use an RJ-11 connector with the D/41D, 
only the channel connected to contacts 2 and 3 of 
the board’s RJ-14 jack can be accessed.  

n

 

Connect one end of a terminated cable into the 
RJ-14 jack on the board and the other end into a 
wall jack. One terminated cable is required for 
each jack. 

n

 

A standard telephone will not function when 
directly attached to the board’s RJ-14 jack. 

After Installing the Hardware 

n

 

Install the voice board software as described in the 
documentation provided for the Dialogic software 
release and operating system in use. 

n

Warranty Period 

The D/41D and D/21D boards have lifetime warranties. 
See the 

Hardware Limited Warranty 

card for coverage 

details. 

RMA Process 

If you suspect you have a problem board, you can return 
the board to Dialogic for servicing. The following 
outlines the procedures that make up the Return 
Material Authorization (RMA) Process. 

1.

 

Check to see if the problem is due to a mistake or 
oversight in the installation process. Be sure to run 
the diagnostic utility if you have not already done so. 

2.  Call Dialogic Technical Support at 1-973-993-1443 

to confirm that it is a problem board. 

3.  Call the RMA coordinator at 1-973-993-3000 x6374. 

Telephone lines are open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 
EST. Give the board’s serial number (two letters and 
six digits—located on a label attached to the board) 
and a brief description of the problem to the RMA 
coordinator. The RMA coordinator will give you an 
RMA number and an estimated return date. 

4.  While observing correct static-handling procedures, 

disconnect power, cables, and remove the board from 
the chassis. 

5.  Repack the board, observing correct static-handling 

procedures. Place the board in an anti-static container 
and then put it in a shipping carton using appropriate 
packing material. Use the original shipping materials 
if possible. Include diagnostic printouts (for example, 
D40CHK) when applicable. 

6.  Write the RMA number on the outside of the box 

you are shipping (for example, RMA #2973) and 
send the package to the attention of the RMA 
number assigned. 

7.  Ship the board to Dialogic at the following address.  

Dialogic is not responsible for risk of loss or damage 
in transit.
