socket, and external connections for a power
supply, Music On Hold (MOH), an external paging system, a USB or eSATA drive for ESI Media Management,
LAN and WAN, and RJ-45 plugs for
modules
(see “Module options,” page A.2). The IP 900 Master Control Unit

Note:
The IP Server 900’s eSATA drive port does not support device “hot-plugging” or “hot-swapping” operations.
Power down the system, install the eSATA storage device, and reboot to synchronize the storage device
with the IP Server 900.
Main board
The main board combines leading-edge hardware components — including a Motorola
®
ColdFire
®
processor
and DSP structure — along with proprietary operating system software. The board provides system control of the
Memory Module, control of all modules and expansion cabinets, a built-in Network Services Processer (NSP)
which provides remote access via TCP/IP and supports certain optional ESI PC software applications, and built-
in Application Services Card (ASC) functionality.
The main board offers 64
universal IP (UIP) ports
,
expandable to 127 ports with a
UIP resource module
. It
also accepts a
G.729a
resource module
which provides an optional 48 sessions of the G.729a audio codec for
use on SIP COs or ESI-Link channels. In addition, it allows up to four analog or digital (D/A)
modules
(see
“Module options,” page A.2), and connects to an optional expansion carrier card that allows up to four more
modules
. For ESI Media Management, the built-in ASC functionality allows 32 channels of call recording and 12
channels of video recording.
Memory Module
The
Memory Module
— a CompactFlash with
proprietary formatting
— contains all system programming,
configuration data, and pre-loaded voice prompts. The Memory Module provides voice storage of 140 hours at
64 kilobits per second — the industry's highest-quality sampling rate.
