Preparing the D/4PCI Linecard for Installation 

Before installing the Dialogic D/4PCI linecard in the OneBox telephony server platform, 
you need to set its default line state (hook-switch state) and determine the ports it will 
handle so you can assign its linecard identification number. 

Setting the Default Line State (Hook-Switch State) 

The D/4PCI linecard has a configurable default line state (hook-switch state). This setting 
determines how the D/4PCI will respond to incoming telephone calls when the telephony 
server platform is turned on but either the telephony server or the Dialogic System 
Software (device driver) is not running.  

• 

If switch SW4 is in the OFF position, the default line state setting is 

onhook

; callers 

will get a ring-no-answer (RNA) response. 

• 

If switch SW4 is in the ON position, the default line state setting is 

offhook

; callers 

will get a busy signal.  

Note 

If the computer is turned off, callers will get an RNA response. 

We recommend that you set the default line state to 

offhook

. Switch SW4, shown in 

Figure 2, controls the default line state. 

To set the default line state: 

• 

Slide the switch SW4 to the 

ON

 position, as shown in Figure 1.
