1. Product Description
The Dialogic
®
DM/V1200BTEPEQ Media board
(“board”) is a high-density, high-performance,
network interface board with four T1/E1 digital
network interfaces in a full-length PCI Express form
factor.
The DM/V1200BTEPEQ Media board includes the
following components, shown in the Physical
Layout illustration:
RJ-48C jacks:
Four connectors to T1 or E1 trunks.
General Network Interface Alarm LED:
Indicates when an alarm condition is present on
one or more of the trunks.
Reset LED:
Indicates when the board is in the
reset state.
Power LED:
Indicates when board power is good.
SW1:
Rotary switch used when setting board ID.
JP5:
Boot-up Loopback Mode jumper. When
unlinked, all trunks are in loopback mode from
power-on until download completion. Factory
default is loopback enabled (pins not linked, clip
installed over one pin only).
Alarm/status LEDs:
During power-up, the 16
LEDs indicate Power-On Self Test (POST) status.
After the board is started, each column of four
LEDs indicate the status of one trunk. The green,
yellow, and red LEDs indicate normal operation
or Carrier Failure Alarms (CFAs) for each trunk as
shown in the following table, and the Loopback
LED indicates when the respective trunk is in
loopback mode.

Power Budgeting Jumper P10:
3-pin jumper to
set how the board responds to the system power
budgeting function.
■
P10 jumper in pins 2-3: Board adheres to
power budgeting values set by system.
■
P10 jumper in pins 1-2: Board ignores power
budgeting values set by system.
Factory default is P10 jumper in pins 2-3.
CT Bus Connector:
H.100 telephony bus
connector.
P5:
CT Bus termination jumper block. Only the
boards in the end positions of a CT Bus cable
should be terminated. Factory default is
unterminated (clip installed over one pin only).
PCI Express connector:
Host bus connector.
Compatible with x1 or larger PCI Express Link
connectors.
Power-off Loopback Mode jumpers:
Pairs of
jumpers to set the power-off loopback mode for
each trunk. Factory default is loopback enabled
for all trunks (all pairs of pins linked).
■
JP3X11 & JP4X11:
Trunk 1 loopback mode.
■
JP3X12 & JP4X12:
Trunk 2 loopback mode.
■
JP3X13 & JP4X13:
Trunk 3 loopback mode.
■
JP3X14 & JP4X14:
Trunk 4 loopback mode.
Additional Information
Additional information about the DM/V1200BTEPEQ
Media board is available from a number of sources,
such as via its product data sheet, which is
accessible at http://www.dialogic.com/products/list.asp.
The product data sheet provides a functional
description of the DM/V1200BTEPEQ Media board,
as well as information about its applications,
configurations, features, and technical
specifications.
Refer to the Release Guide and the online Release
Update for your Dialogic
®
System Software release
to verify that the DM/V1200BTEPEQ Media board is
supported in the release, and for information on
any new features or issues that may relate to it.
The Regulatory Notices document that is packed
with each DM/V1200BTEPEQ Media board contains
safety warnings and national requirements for
proper operation of telecommunications
equipment.
2. Before You Begin
Protecting the Board from Damage
CAUTION:
All computer boards are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (“ESD”). Handle all static-
sensitive boards and components at a static-safe
work area, and observe anti-static precautions at
all times.
If you are not familiar with ESD safety precautions,
visit http://dialogic.com/support/hwinstall to learn
more.
Unpacking the Board
Unpack the board according to the following steps:
1. Prepare a static-safeguarded work area.
2. Carefully remove the board from the shipping
carton and anti-static packaging. Handle the
board by the edges and avoid touching the
board's components.
3. Lay the board on the static-dissipative work
surface.
Note:
Place boards in static-shielding bags when
carrying boards from station to station.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the board from the
anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
it. Observe proper anti-static precautions at all
times.
3. Configuring the Board
The DM/V1200BTEPEQ Media board uses Plug and
Play technology to simplify installation. No user
configuration is required for IRQ or memory
address.
The DM/V1200BTEPEQ Media board has the
following manually configurable options:
■
Board ID
■
CT Bus termination
■
Power-off loopback mode
■
Boot-up loopback mode
■
Power budgeting (see Choosing a Slot section
below)
Setting the Board ID
When the system is started, each Dialogic
®
telecom board is assigned a board instance ID
number that programs can use to identify
individual boards in a multi-board system. The
setting of SW1 controls the generation of the
instance numbers.
Windows Systems:
In a Windows system, leave
SW1 set to the 0 position (the factory default
setting) on all Dialogic
®
telecom boards. This
setting causes the system software to assign
instance numbers geographically, based on the
bus and slot numbers. Note that there is no way
to know what the instance numbers will be until
the system is started and configured, and the
instance number for any given board is likely to
change when there is any change in the number
or arrangement of boards in the system.
You can read the ID numbers assigned to the
boards in the Dialogic
®
Configuration Manager
(DCM) tool after you start the system.
Linux Systems:
In a Linux system, you must
explicitly specify the board ID numbers by
setting SW1 on each board to a different position
(0-9 or A-F). Refer to the Configuration Guide for
DM3 architecture products in your Dialogic
®
System Software documentation for further
information about the board ID numbers.
Setting CT Bus Termination
If you are connecting multiple boards via a CT Bus
cable, the bus signal should be terminated on the
boards that are located at the ends of the CT Bus
cable. All other boards should be left in their
factory default configuration with the CT Bus
termination pins not linked.
To terminate the CT Bus, install a link clip over the
pair of P5 pins indicated in the following figure.
Setting Power-off Loopback
Each E1/T1 trunk on the DM/V1200BTEPEQ Media
can be independently configured for front end
loopback when the system is not powered up. As
shipped from the factory, power-off loopback is
enabled for all trunks. To disable power-off
loopback on any trunk, remove the appropriate pair
of jumper clips for the trunk as indicated in the
Product Description section.
Setting Boot-up Loopback
The board’s loopback configuration during the
boot-up interval (from power-on to completion of
download) is set on a board-wide basis by jumper
JP5. As shipped from the factory, the pins of JP5
are not linked (the clip is installed over one pin
only), enabling loopback during boot-up. To disable
boot-up loopback, install the clip over both pins of
JP5.
